Spyking-circus

=============

* fix a possible rounding bug if triggers are given in ms
* artefacts are computed as medians and not means over the signal
* can turn off shared memory if needed
* a particular pattern can be specified for neuralynx files
* fix bugs with output_dir, as everything was not saved in the folder
* add a circus-folders script to process virtually files within several folders as a single recording
* add a circus-artefacts script to concatenate artefact files before using stream mode
* multi-files mode is now enabled for Neuralynx data
* fixes for conversion of old dataset with python GUI
* smooth exit if fitting with 0 templates (thanks to Alex Gonzalez)

=============

=============

* optimizations for clusters (auto blosc and network bandwith)
* addition of a dead_channels option in the [detection] section, as requested
* prevent user to remove median with only 1 channel
* fix for parallel writes in HDF5 files
* hide h5py FutureWarning

=============

=============

* fix for matplotlib 2.2.2
* fix a bug when loading merged data with phy GUI
* faster support for native MCD file with pyMCStream
* more robust whitening for large arrays with numerous overlaps
* add an experimental mode to refine coreset (isolated spikes)
* put merging units in Hz^2 in the merging GUI
* add a HDF5 compression mode to greatly reduce disk usage for very large probe
* add a Blosc compression mode to save bandwith for clusters
* fix a display bug in the merging GUI when performing multiple passes

=============

=============

* reduce memory consumption for mixture removal with shared memory
* made an explicit parameter cc_mixtures for mixture removal in the [clustering] section
* Minor fixes in the MATLAB GUI
* fix in the exact times shown during preview if second is specified
* prevent errors if filter is False and overwrite is False

=============

=============

* fix a bug in the BEER for windows platforms, enhancing robustness to mpi data types
* speed up the software when using ignore_dead_times
* ensure backward compatibility with hdf5 version for MATLAB
* fix a rare bug in clustering, when no spikes are found on electrodes
* fix a bug in the MATLAB GUI when reloading saved results, skipping overlap fixes

=============

=============

* fix a bug if the parameter file have tabulations characters
* add a tab to edit parameters directly in the launcher GUI
* fix dtype offset for int32 and int64
* minor optimizations for computations of overlaps
* explicit message displayed on screen if filtering has already been performed
* can specify a distinct folder for output results with output_dir parameter
* fix a bug when launching phy GUI for datafiles without data_offset parameter (HDF5)
* fix a memory leak when using dead_times
* fix a bug for BRW and python3
* fix a bug in the BEER
* pin HDF5 to 1.8.18 versions, as MATLAB is not working well with 1.10
* fix a bug when relaunching code and overwrite is False
* make the multi-files more robust, also reading all files in a directory
* fix a bug when peak detection is set on both with only one channel
