Release Notes

Bug-fix release in the 20.2.x LTS series.

This release adds missing metadata to GIFTI and CIFTI-2 derivatives and fixes a logging bug affecting a small number of datasets.

Additionally the --output-layout bids flag will now output fMRIPrep derivatives directly into the output directory, nesting FreeSurfer derivatives by default in <output>/sourcedata/freesurfer. This layout allows the output root to be a valid BIDS Derivatives dataset, simplifying data management and provenance tracking with content tracking tools, such as DataLad. This layout will likely become the default in future release series.

Changes

  • ENH: Output TaskName and timing metadata for all resampled BOLD series (#2320)
  • ENH: Add --output-layout CLI option to enable BIDS (YODA) mode (#2303)
  • ENH: Add Docker authentication to increase pull rate limit (#2316)
  • FIX: Specify logger for warning (#2298)

Release Notes

With this third minor release series of 2020, the first fMRIPrep LTS (long-term support) is finally here!

This release contains a number of bug-fixes and enhancements mostly related to easing the maintenance, anticipating patch-release breaking changes to ensure a longstanding LTS, and addressing some run-to-run repeatability problems of the CompCor implementation.

fMRIPrep 20.2 LTS introduces the long-term support program. This LTS version will be kindly steered and maintained by the group of Dr. Basile Pinsard and Prof. Pierre Bellec at CRIUGM, (Université de Montréal). The LTS is planned for a window of 4 years of support (i.e., until September 2024).

As with all minor version increments, working directories from previous versions should not be reused.

Thank you for using fMRIPrep! If you encounter any issues with this release, please let us know by posting an issue on our GitHub page!

The second minor release series of 2020 is finally here!

Release Notes

fMRIPrep 20.1.0 introduces a magnitude of new features and improvements. Originally nominated to become the first LTS (long-term support) version of fMRIPrep, this release has been supercharged with many new features and bug-fixes. To ensure long-term stability, we have postponed the LTS nomination to 20.2 to allow us unlocking the 20.1 earlier, and a more extensive stress testing of the series before jumping into a longer support commitment. Some key additions in this release include:

  • A centralized configuration module keeping track of fMRIPrep's many options and run-time and environmental circumstances and settings. The new config module, which has been also propagated to other NiPreps dMRIPrep, MRIQC), comes to robustify the run-to-run replicability of fMRIPrep (e.g., tracking random seeds), make the option handling more modular but consistent (e.g., setting the ground for a command-line interface built off of the config module), and ease troubleshooting and telemetry.
  • The anatomical preprocessing fast-track: a new experimental command-line option (--anat-derivatives <PATH>) checks that all necessary anatomical derivatives required by fMRIPrep are present under <PATH>, and skips the anatomical processing in full if fMRIPrep's expectations are met. Because now functional processing of many sessions and runs can be efficiently split into more digestible computational units (i.e., cluster job) while guaranteeing the exact same anatomical results are being used, this can significantly speed up longitudinal study preprocessing, and it is a fundamental optimization to process databases of densely scanned individuals such as My Connectome. This option is not recommended for single-session processing.
  • A change in output CIFTI2 subcortical volume orientation to be compatible with HCP Pipeline tools and data.

.. admonition:: New Paper!

    This release comes after our latest protocol paper "*Analysis of task-based
    functional MRI data preprocessed with fMRIPrep*" has been accepted.
    The protocol describes how to use *fMRIPrep* on high-performance
    clusters to preprocess fMRI data for task-based analyses.
    Please check out `the latest version on Nature Protocols
    <https://doi.org/10.1038/s41596-020-0327-3>`__ or `the preprint
    <https://doi.org/10.1101/694364>`__.

.. caution::

    As with all minor version increments, working directories
    from previous versions **should not be reused**.

Thank you for using *fMRIPrep*!
