1.2.0 - May 8th 2026

The main changes in this release are:

  • Increased pipeline flexibility (#98): * job_dispatch: enhanced spikeinterface input option to accept spikeinterface-native datasets (e.g. binary folder / zarr / JSON / PKL) * preprocessing: option to provide a custom preprocessing pipeline and use apply_preprocessing_pipeline * postprocessing: flexibility in defining extensions, with minimal requirements of random_spikes and templates * curation / visualization / QC / NWB units: more robust against missing extensions and metrics

  • Rebuilt container images, now running on non-root users and defining CACHE folders internally to avoid permission issues (#103 / #104)

Warning

The updates to the preprocessing and postprocessing steps modified the expected structure of parameters file. Please take a look at the updated parameters file documentation and update your parameters file accordingly when using this new release. You can use the Parameter Editor Webapp (python params_app/serve.py) to easily create and validate your parameters file.
