(tidepool) Turned the default level of verbosity way down, but gave you the ability to crank it back up.
(RapidtideDataset.py) Fixed the default type of “numberofpasses”.

Version 2.2.3 (4/1/22)

(rapidtide) Added a new feature, –globalmeanselect, to try to locate a good, uniform, short delay pool of voxels to use for the initial global mean signal. This is an attempt to fix the “poison regressor” problem - if the initial regressor contains data from multiple, distinct pools of voxels with different delays, the initial global regressor is strongly autocorrelated, and delay fits become ambiguous. This cannot be corrected by refinement, so better to avoid it altogether. This option selects only voxels with clear, short delays, after a single pass with despeckling disabled. The result is a mask (XXXdesc-globalmeanpreselect_mask.nii.gz) that can be used with –globalmeanincludemask for a subsequent run.
(rapidtide) Fixed a nasty bug that caused offsettime and lagminthresh to interact incorrectly, sometimes leading to almost no voxels for refinement.
(happy) Moved some code around, changed some internal names, and added secret bits to support future, secret, features.
(tidepool) Trying to add a little more clarity to the user about image orientation (the image’s affine transform is correct, so the mapping between voxel and MNI coordinate is correct, but currently it’s not clear if displayed images are radiological or neurological orientation.
(fingerprint) Added the JHU atlases as options.
(package) Added slightly modified version of the JHU arterial territorial atlases to the reference section (Paper: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.05.03.442478, Download: https://www.nitrc.org/projects/arterialatlas).
(Docker) Fixed a dependency problem for pyfftw (resolves https://github.com/bbfrederick/rapidtide/issues/79)
(pony) One time offer, today only - every user gets a pony upon request!

Version 2.2.2 (3/16/22)

(happy, happy_legacy, simdata) This release corrects a flaw (or perhaps more accurately an ambiguity) in slice time specification. In FSL slicetime files, slicetimes are specified in fractions of a TR. In .json sidecars, they are specified in seconds. This is now detected on file read, and slicetime files are now converted to seconds. Until now, happy and simdata assumed all slice times were in seconds. This will fix behavior when FSL-style (fractional TR) slicetime files are used. Behavior with .json sidecars is not changed. Non-json files are assumed to be the FSL style (fractions of a TR) UNLESS the –slicetimesareinseconds flag is used.

Version 2.2.1 (3/16/22)

(rapidtide) Tweaked mask checking logic to address a bug introduced by despeckling changes.
(histtc, histnifti) Harmonized options between the programs.
(Docker) Updated Dockerfile to fix a bug that caused automatic build to fail.

Version 2.2.0 (3/11/22)

(rapidtide) Major rethink of despeckling. Despeckling no longer causes negative correlation values when bipolar fitting is not enabled, and voxel parameters are only updated in a despeckled voxel if the correlation fit succeeds. This results in better fits without mysteriously unfit voxels.
(showxy) Bland-Altman plots can now use alternative formatting, as per Krouwer, J. S. Why Bland–Altman plots should use X, not (Y+X)/2 when X is a reference method. Stat Med 27, 778–780 (2008).
(fingerprint) This program is now substantially more useful, working on 4D input files. Output files are more convenient as well.
(cleandirs) Cleandirs now keeps cleaning until it runs out of old installations to remove.

(calcicc) Tool to calculate ICC(3,1) - quickly - for a set of 3D images.
(correlate.py) Fixed the reference for mutual_info_2d.
(package) Simplified and cleaned up release process.

Version 2.0.9 (8/26/21)

(rapidtide) Fixed a strange edge case that could lead to “hot pixels” in the maxcorr map.
(io) Added a “tolerance” for spatial mapping of niftis to account for rounding errors in header creation.

Version 2.0.5 (8/9/21)

(package) Further Windows compatibility fixes.
(documentation) Updated USAGE.rst for the current naming and syntax of rapidtide.

Version 2.0.4 (7/28/21)

(package) Fixed a problem where any program using util.py wouldn’t run on Windows.
(roisummarize) New addition to the package.
1. Fixed a bug in the document environment.

Version 2.0.3 (7/16/21)

(spatialdecomp, temporaldecomp) Improved the consistency between the programs.
(showxcorrx) Fixed some command line options.
(package) Began to clean up and unify text output formatting.
(package) Addressed some numpy deprecation warnings.
(all scripts) Corrected file permissions (this may matter on Windows installations).
(docs) Fixed some typos.
(showtc) Enhanced debugging output.
(testing) Tweaked circleci configuration file to update environment prior to installation.

Version 2.0.2 (6/10/21)

(rapidtide) Did you know that in python 3.8 and above, the default multiprocessing method is “spawn” rather than “fork”? Did you know the subtle differences? Do you know that that breaks rapidtide? I didn’t, now I do, and now it doesn’t.
(rapidtide) Made some tweaks to the timing logger to improve output formatting.
(rapidtide, happy) Tested on M1. The tests run more than twice as fast on an M1 mac mini with 8GB of RAM as on a 2017 MBP with a 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7. Emulated. Yow. When I get a native anaconda installation going, watch out.
(happy, Docker) Now require tensorflow 2.4.0 or above to address a security issue.

(showxcorrx, plethquality, resamp1tc, simdata, happy, rapidtide) Cleaned up, improved, and unified text file reading and writing.
(showxcorrx) Various functionality improvements.
(package) Added options for timecourse normalization and zeropadding correlations.
(documentation) Further cleanup.
(Docker) Various fixes to versioning and other internals.

Version 2.0 (6/2/21)

Much thanks to Taylor Salo for his continuing contributions, with several substantive improvements to code, documentation, and automatic testing, and generally helping devise a sensible release roadmap that made this version possible.

This release is a big one - there are many new programs, new capabilities in existing programs, and workflow breaking syntax changes. However, this was all with the purpose of making a beter package with much more consistent interfaces that allow you to figure out pretty quickly how to get the programs to do exactly what you want. The biggest change is to rapidtide itself. For several years, there have been two versions of rapidtide; rapidtide2 (the traditional version), and rapidtide2x (the experimental version for testing new features). When features became stable, I migrated them back to rapidtide2, more and more quickly as time went by, so they became pretty much the same. I took the 2.0 release as an opportunity to do some cleanup. As of now, there is only one version of rapidtide, with two parsers. If you call “rapidtide”, you get the spiffy new option parser and much more rational and consistent option naming and specification. This is a substantial, but simple, change. For compatibility with old workflows, I preserved the old parser, which is called “rapidtide2x_legacy”. This accepts options just as rapidtide2 and rapidtide2x did in version 1.9.6. There is only one rapidtide routine. Once the arguments are all read in and processed, “rapidtide” and “rapidtide2x_legacy” call the same processing workflow. However, in addition to the new parser, there are completely new options and capabilities in rapidtide, but you can only get to them using the new parser. This is my way of subtly forcing you to change your workflows if you want the new shiny, without pulling the rug out from under you. “rapidtide2x_legacy” WILL be going away though, so change over when you can. Also - all outputs now conform to BIDS naming conventions to improve compatibility with other packages. Use the “–legacyoutput” flag to get the old output file names.

(rapidtide2x_legacy): Added deprecation warning.
(rapidtide): The correlation function has been replaced by a more flexible “similarity function”. There are currently 3 options: “correlation” (the old method), “mutualinfo”, which uses a cross mutual information function, and “hybrid”, which uses the correlation function, but disambiguates which peak to use by comparing the mutual information for each peak.
(rapidtide) Pulled a number of default values into global variables so that defaults and help strings will stay in sync.
(rapidtide) Fixed text file (nirs) processing.
(rapidtide) Fixed a search range setting error.
(rapidtide) Fixed the default method for global mean signal generation.
(rapidtide) Added the ‘–negativegradient’ option in response to https://github.com/bbfrederick/rapidtide/issues/67
(rapidtide) Added flexibility to regressor input (can use multicolumn and BIDS text files).
(rapidtide, tidepool) Fixed reading and writing the globalmean mask.
(rapidtide) Gracefully handle refinement failure.
(rapidtide) Added a new method for generating global signal using PCA.
(rapidtide) Did some prep work to implement echo cancellation.
(rapidtide) Added workaround for occasional MLE PCA component estimation failure (this seems to be an unresolved scikit-learn problem as of 0.23.2)
(rapidtide) Significant enhancement to PCA refinement options.
(rapidtide) Rapidtide can now run refinement passes until the change in the probe regressor falls below a specified mean square difference. Set –convergencethresh to a positive number to invoke this (0.0005 is good). Rapidtide will refine until the M.S.D. falls below this value, or you hit maxpasses (use –maxpasses NUM to set - default is 15). This implements the procedure used in Champagne, A. A., et al., NeuroImage 187, 154–165 (2019).
(rapidtide) The PCA refinement algorithm has been improved to match the method described in Champagne, et al., and is now the default.
(rapidtide, io) Significant improvement to CIFTI handling - now properly read and write parcellated scalars and time series.
(rapidtide) Completely revamped CIFTI I/O. Should now read and write native CIFTI2 files (do not need to convert to NIFTI-2 in workbench).
(rapidtide) Better handling of motion files.
(rapidtide) Added coherence calculation. Not quite working right yet.
(rapidtide, happy) Switched to using nilearn’s mask generator for automatic mask generation, since it’s much more sophisticated. It seems to be a big improvement, and handles data processed by fmriprep and SPM with no fiddling.
(rapidtide, happy) General improvement of output of floating point numbers. Limit to 3 decimal places.
(rapidtide) Use logging module for output.
(rapidtide, rapidtide_legacy) Options file is now always saved as a json.
(rapidtide) Added ability to autochoose an appropriate spatial filter by setting –spatialfilt to a negative value.
(rapidtide, rapidtide2x_legacy) The options file is now always saved in .json format.
(rapidtide) BIDS format output naming and file structures have been updated to be more compliant with the standard.
(rapidtide) Fixed a longstanding bug which used an unnecessarily stringent amplitude threshold for selecting voxels to use for refinement.
(rapidtide) Improvements to processing in “bipolar” mode.
(rapidtide): The getopt argument parser has been completely rewritten using argparse. The way you specify many (most?) options has changed.
(rapidtide): Any option that takes additional values (numbers, file names, etc.) is now specified as ‘–option VALUE [VALUE [VALUE…]]’ rather than as ‘–option=VALUE[,VALUE[,VALUE…]]’.
(rapidtide): After a lot of use over the years, I’ve reset a lot of defaults to reflect typical usage. You can still do any analysis you were doing before, but it may now require changes to scripts and workflows to get the old default behavior. For most cases you can get good analyses with a minimum set of command line options now.
(rapidtide): There are two new macros, –denoise and –delaymapping, which will set defaults to good values for those use cases in subjects without vascular pathology. Any of the preset values for these macros can be overridden with command line options.
(rapidtide, rapidtide2x_legacy): Regressor and data filtering has been changed significantly. While the nominal filter passbands are the same, the transitions to the stopbands have been tightened up quite a bit. This is most noticable in the LFO band. The pasband is still from 0.01-0.15Hz with a trapezoidal rolloff, but the upper stopband now starts at 0.1575Hz instead of 0.20Hz. The wide transition band was letting in a significant amount of respiratory signal for subjects with low respiratory rates (about half of my subjects seem to breath slower than the nominal adult minimum rate of 12 breaths/minute).
(rapidtide): The -V, -L, -R and -C filter band specifiers have been retired. Filter bands are now specified with ‘–filterband XXX’, where XXX is vlf, lfo, lfo_legacy, resp, cardiac, or None. ‘lfo’ is selected by default (LFO band with sharp transition bands). To skip filtering, use ‘–filterband None’. ‘–filterband lfo_legacy’ will filter to the LFO band with the old, wide transition bands.
(rapidtide): To specify an arbitrary filter, specify the pass freqs with –filterfreqs, and then optionally the stop freqs with –filterstopfreqs (otherwise the stop freqs will be calculated automatically from the pass freqs).
(rapidtide): The method for specifying the lag search range has changed. ‘-r LAGMIN,LAGMAX’ has been removed. You now use ‘–searchrange LAGMIN LAGMAX’
(rapidtide): The method for specifying bipolar correlation search has changed. ‘-B’ is replaced by ‘–bipolar’.
(rapidtide): The method for specifying a fixed delay (no correlation lag search) has changed. ‘-Z DELAYVAL’ is replaced by ‘–fixdelay DELAYVAL’.
(rapidtide,rapidtide2x_legacy): The ‘timerange’ option is now handled properly. This can be used to restrict processing to a portion of the datafile. This is useful to get past initial transients if you didn’t remove them in preprocessing, or to see if parameters change over the course of a long acquisition.
(rapidtide): The multiprocessing code path can be forced on, even on a single processor.
(rapidtide): Multiprocessing can be disabled on a per-routine basis.

Set –convergencethresh to a positive number to invoke this (0.0005 is good). Rapidtide will refine until the M.S.D. falls below this value, or you hit maxpasses (use –maxpasses NUM to set - default is 15). This implements the procedure used in Champagne, A.

(tidepool) Internal colortable code is now much cleaner.
(Docker) Improved build scripts.

Version 2.0alpha1 (8/24/20)

(all): Python 2.x is no longer supported. To be fair, I’ve done nothing to break 2.x compatibility on purpose, so it probably still works, but I’m expending no effort to keep it working.
(documentation): General updates and cleanups.
(rapidtide2): rapidtide2 has been eliminated. If you used it before, you can use rapidtide2x as a dropin replacement (but you really should start moving to using rapidtide, the new version that is actively being developed).
(rapidtide2x): rapidtide2x has been deprecated and replaced by rapidtide (which is basically rapidtide2x v1.9.3 with a different argument parser and default option values).
(rapidtide2x): Added deprecation warning.
(rapidtide): The correlation function has been replaced by a more flexible “similarity function”. There are currently 3 options: “correlation” (the old method), “mutualinfo”, which uses a cross mutual information function, and “hybrid”, the new default, which uses the correlation function, but disambiguates which peak to use by comparing the mutual information for each peak.
(rapidtide): Changed the default peak fit type to “fastquad”, which does a parabolic fit to the peaks to refine location.
(rapidtide): The getopt argument parser has been completely rewritten using argparse. The way you specify many (most?) options has changed.
(rapidtide): Any option that takes additional values (numbers, file names, etc.) is now specified as ‘–option VALUE [VALUE [VALUE…]]’ rather than as ‘–option=VALUE[,VALUE[,VALUE…]]’.
(rapidtide): After a lot of use over the years, I’ve reset a lot of defaults to reflect typical usage. You can still do any analysis you were doing before, but it may now require changes to scripts and workflows to get the old default behavior. For most cases you can get good analyses with a minimum set of command line options now.
(rapidtide): There are two new macros, –denoise and –delaymapping, which will set defaults to good values for those use cases in subjects without vascular pathology. Any of the preset values for these macros can be overridden with command line options.
(rapidtide, rapidtide2x): Regressor and data filtering has been changed significantly. While the nominal filter passbands are the same, the transitions to the stopbands have been tightened up quite a bit. This is most noticable in the LFO band. The pasband is still from 0.01-0.15Hz with a trapezoidal rolloff, but the upper stopband now starts at 0.1575Hz instead of 0.20Hz. The wide transition band was letting in a significant amount of respiratory signal for subjects with low respiratory rates (about half of my subjects seem to breath slower than the nominal adult minimum rate of 12 breaths/minute).
(rapidtide): The -V, -L, -R and -C filter band specifiers have been retired. Filter bands are now specified with ‘–filterband XXX’, where XXX is vlf, lfo, lfo_legacy, resp, cardiac, or None. ‘lfo’ is selected by default (LFO band with sharp transition bands). To skip filtering, use ‘–filterband None’. ‘–filterband lfo_legacy’ will filter to the LFO band with the old, wide transition bands.
(rapidtide): To specify an arbitrary filter, use ‘–filterfreqs LOWERPASS UPPERPASS [LOWERSTOP UPPERSTOP]’. If you don’t specify the stop bands, the stop frequencies are set to 5% below and above LOWERPASS and UPPERPASS, respectively.
(rapidtide): The method for specifying the lag search range has changed. ‘-r LAGMIN,LAGMAX’ has been removed. You now use ‘–searchrange LAGMIN LAGMAX’
(rapidtide): The method for specifying bipolar correlation search has changed. ‘-B’ is replaced by ‘–bipolar’.
(rapidtide): The method for specifying a fixed delay (no correlation lag search) has changed. ‘-Z DELAYVAL’ is replaced by ‘–fixdelay DELAYVAL’.
(rapidtide): Options file is saved in json by default now.
(rapidtide,rapidtide2x): The ‘timerange’ option is now handled properly. This can be used to restrict processing to a portion of the datafile. This is useful to get past initial transients if you didn’t remove them in preprocessing, or to see if parameters change over the course of a long acquisition.
(physiofreq): New program to get the average frequency of a physiological waveform.
(tidepool): Now properly handles missing timecourses properly. Some cosmetic fixes.
(showtc): Converted to argparse, some cleanup in option specification.
(glmfilt, linfit, temporaldecomp, spatialdecomp): Argument parsers were rewritten, main routines were moved into workflows.
(docker container): Fixed some build errors, now pushes container to dockerhub.
(rapidtide): Multiprocessing can be forced on, even on a single processor.
(rapidtide): Multiprocessing can be disabled on a per-routine basis.

(workflows) Initial creation (work in progress) (tsalo).
(testing) Reorganized and fixed - now it actually works! (tsalo).
(coverage) Code coverage for testing is now tracked (21% - we can improve significantly with workflows) (tsalo).
(rapidtide2, 2x, happy) Finally found (and fixed) the reason for a range of random stalls and slowdowns when running on a cluster. MKL extensions were silently distributing some numpy calculations over all cores (which means running N jobs running on a cluster tried to use N^2 cores - not good at all…). The maxiumum number of MKL threads is now settable on the command line, and defaults to 1 (no multiprocessor numpy). Strangely, this makes everything a little faster in single processor mode, and A LOT faster in multiprocessor mode.
(tide_funcs.py) tide_funcs.py has been split into filter.py, fit.py, io.py, miscmath.py, resample.py, stats.py, and util.py. All executables fixed to match.
(rapidtide2, 2x) Oversample factor is now set automatically by default to make the correlation timestep 0.5 or less. This dramatically improves fits for longer TRs (> 1.5 seconds).

(spatialfit) Fixed numpy imports

Version 1.5 (6/11/18)

(documentation) Added description of rapidtide output files.
(tide_funcs) Fixed a VERY old bug in detrend that added an offset to the detrended timecourse. The effect of the bug on rapidtide2(x) is probably small, because we almost always use data that has already been detrended. The effect in some very particular use cases, though, was large enough that I finally noticed it after 3 years.
(rapidtide2, 2x) Added option to disable progress bars (good when saving output to a file).
(rapidtide2, 2x) Improved output to memusage file.
(rapidtide2, 2x) Report fit errors with better granularity.

(rapidtide2, 2x) Attempting to stabilize the lagsigma measurement with better initial parameter estimates.
(tide_funcs) Cast timecourse index as a long to avoid an overflow in NIRS timecourses.

(showxcorrx) Cleaned up usage statement.

Version 1.4.0 (2/21/18)

(rapidtide2, 2x) Added macros to support setting multiple options at once.
(rapidtide2, 2x) –nirs macro sets a number of parameters to be appropriate for NIRS data processing.
(rapidtide2, 2x) –venousrefine macro sets refinement parameters to use data only from large draining veins (only works reliably in healthy subjects ATM).
(rapidtide2, 2x) Now tabulate maximum correlation times without range limit for my own secret, diabolical purposes.
(rapidtide2, 2x) Fixed a bug that was not shifting all of the timecourses if they were not in the refinement mask.

(tidepool) Default to displaying using the valid mask rather than the p<0.05 mask.
(tidepool) Enabled usage of the refine mask.

Version 1.3.0 (12/15/17)

(rapidtide2, 2x) Added new option, ‘–despeckle’, which uses a spatial median filter to find and correct points where the correlation fit picked the wrong autocorrelation lobe. This dramatically improves the quality of the output maps. This will probably be turned on by default in the next release.
(tidepool) FINALLY fixed the click positioning bug. Worth the update just for this. That was driving me crazy.
(tidepool) Formatting improvements.
(tidepool) Preliminary support for multiple territory atlases and averaging modes in tidepool.

Minor quality and speed improvement to timeshift.
No longer output “datatoremove” to save space.
Removed some redundant screen refreshes from tidepool.
Reorganized and removed dead code.
Changed default mode for calculating refined regressors to “unweighted_average”.
Synced changes in rapidtide2x to rapidtide2

Version 1.1.0 (4/3/17)

I have now synced all of the changes in rapidtide2x back to rapidtide2.
rapidtide now has multiprocessing support using the –multiproc flag. This can cause a dramatic increase in processing speed on multicore/processor machines.
Dispersion calculation is now off by default.
Tidepool is now compatible with both PyQt4 and 5.
Reordered some memory allocation and deallocation to keep the RAM footprint down.
Some additional significant speedups (support for ffftw if present, caching hamming windows).
Added an optional cross-spectral density filter for adaptive timecourse filtering. This is a work in progress - not really ready for general use.
Skeleton of support for Wiener deconvolution to sharpen the correlation function (off by default, not ready for general use).

Version 1.0.0 (2/13/17)

I decided to stop hedging and actually commit myself - this is version 1.0.0 - out of beta!
To promote stability, new features will be put into test versions (the name of the program will have an “x” appended). This way I can do major internal changes and have them available to users without breaking something they might rely on. The “x” versions will sync with the “normal” versions after extensive testing.
Major new feature (rapidtide2x only for now). Multiprocessing! Significant speedup when using the –multiproc option on machines with multiple cores.
showxcorrx has new features and defaults.
Memory allocation has been reorganized to reduce footprint (rapidtide2x).
Changed imports for better compatibility when running in the NITRC-CE environment (rapidtide2x).
rapidtide2std now supports nonlinear alignment.
histnifti is added to the distribution.
I’ve added some additional outputs to rapidtide2 and rapidtide2x during refinement to help figure out if the brain is a dispersive filter. This doesn’t change how rapidtide2 does the refinement - it’s just informational at this point.
Added spatialfit to the distribution. I use this to analyze delay maps. More on this later.
Fully implemented samplerate and sampletime options (rapidtide2)
Corrected and enhanced the use of alternative correlation weighting functions (PHAT, Liang, and Eckart weighting) (rapidtide).
Updated all scripts for compatibility with matplotlib 2.0.
Fixed tidepool for compatibility with the new version of pyqtgraph.
Significant enhancements to showstxcorr (this is a work in progress).
Example data is no longer installed in the python directory (this never made sense to do).
Added code to do matched filtering of regressors with mean PSD and/or cross-spectral density. It works, but doesn’t do much (rapidtide2x).

Version 0.1.9 (12/19/16)

Added code to allow runtime memory profiling if memory_profile library is present.
Extensive casting of variables to lower memory footprint and allow future optimizations.
Added explicit garbage collection to reduce memory usage.
Added optional single precision calculation mode to lower memory footprint.
Added a second script, “rapidtide2x” where I can distribute and test new features without breaking the main code branch.
Did some speed optimizations in findmaxlag, including faster gaussian fitting and new MUCH faster parabolic fitting (still experimental).
Minor bug fixes, code reorganization and cleanup.

Version 0.1.8 (11/30/16)

Fixed a bug in the GLM filtering code - if spatial filtering was applied in rapidtide2, the smoothed data was filtered rather than the original data.
Added an option in rapidtide2 (”–glmsourcefile=FILE”) to apply GLM filter to a different dataset than the one used to estimate the delays (this is used for HCP data - the “hp2000_clean” data has had LFO signals partially removed and may compromise delay estimation, so that should be done on the un-“FIX”ed data).
Added the ability to detect autocorrelation properties of the test regressor that may cause delay estimation to fail with the “–accheck” flag.
Added an option “–acfix” to try to correct for bad test regressor autocorrelation properties. This is not yet working correctly.
Added the ability to specify a slicetimes file (”–slicetimes=FILE”) if slicetime correction has not yet been applied to the dataset. Not fully tested.
(rapidtide2std, tidepool) Added the ability to transform and display functional data to highres anatomic space in addition to MNI152 space.
Various small bugfixes and format cleanups.

Version 0.1.7 (11/15/16)

I think I’ve resolved the issue of crashes due to numba functioning differently on machines other than mine.
Fixed a masking bug in tidepool that was due to numbers being very close to, but not exactly, 1.
Made a number of internal changes to rapidtide2 and tidepool to allow dynamic significance masking (not yet working - actually failing spectacularly for the most part, but it’s currently commented out).
Added showstxcorr to the distribution.
Added the ability to set the mask threshold for correlation and global mask inclusion (this turns out to be needed if you use non-skull-stripped data.)
Put in some code to start to figure out how to account for dispersion in the delay function.
Moved the “start movie” button in tidepool to better align with the numerical spin boxes.
showtc has gotten a significant upgrade in functionality, adding the ability to display power spectra, phase spectra, and set the sample rate to make the x-axis correct.
Lots of internal formatting/style fixes, and fixed some formatting in the usage statements and documentation.

Version 0.1.6 (10/15/16)

Fixed a critical bug that had been introduced in the last round of changes to findmaxlag.
Disabled numba for findmaxlag (it seems to cause problems for some users).
New option –skipsighistfit to omit fitting a Johnson SB function to the significance histogram.
Fixed the usage statement.
Fixed a bug that set ampthresh to zero when not doing significance estimation.

Version 0.1.5 (10/11/16)

Fixed a bug that made it impossible to specify –regressortstep.
Added undocumented option –nonumba to turn off just in time compilation if there’s a problem with it.
Print rapidtide version on launch.
Made pandas import explicit (sklearn requires it).

Version 0.1.4 (10/10/16)

Some fixes to usage output.
Added functions for fitting trapezoids (for risetime calculations).
Changed argument parsing and option output to avoid conflicts
Added an option to not zero out bad fits (so as not to skew lag statistics)
Improved fitting of probability distributions.
Better handling of failed correlation peak fits.
Now installations should work properly if not installed using git (fixed _gittag import problem).

Version 0.1.3 (9/2/16)

Added a tool (rapidtide2std) to register all output maps to MNI152 coordinates (requires FSL).
Made a 3mm resolution ASPECTS map for use in tidepool.
Reference data is now properly installed, and tidepool can find it reliably.
Redid the version information. Rapidtide now records both the release version and the git hash in in the output data to help with data provenance.
Reorganized the distribution into what seems to be a more canonical layout.
Resolved the issues I seem to have introduced with Python 3 compatibility.
Significantly cleaned up resampling and filtering code and improved reliability.
Added some unit tests for critical routines. Strangely, they all fail on Travis-CI, but work on my local machine. It seems to be a numerical precision issue. The answers are rightish, just not right on Travis.

Version 0.1.2 (8/5/16)

Some bug fixes in filtering and resampling code.
Beginning to add automated tests.
Biphasic mode is now fully implemented, including two-tailed significance calculation.

Version 0.1.1 (7/8/16)

First release
