MagellanMapper v1.6.0

[yoda-vid]

Highlights in v1.6.0 release

• Atlas navigation
  • Smoother, faster interactions with main plots, including atlas label name display, label editing, and pan and zoom navigation
  • Atlas regions can be searched (see "Atlases > Region")
  • Atlas Editor orthogonal planes can be reordered or turned off
  • Detection channels can be selected independently of the loaded image to overlay prior detections or compare channels (see "Detect > Chl")
  • Images can be viewed as RGB (see "ROI > Channels") or merged channels
  • New atlases can be downloaded through BrainGlobe (see the new "Atlases" panel)
• Installation simplification
  • Simpler entry point to launch MagellanMapper: mm
  • Available as binary wheel to install without requiring the source code
  • Faster, lighter installation with fewer required dependency packages
  • Extends support to Python 3.12 and defaults to Python 3.9 (note: this is the last release to officially support Python 3.6-3.9)
  • Supports ITK-Elastix for image registration
  • Fixed installation on Apple Silicon (Mac M-chip) platforms (Workaround for Apple Silicon platforms #634)
• Tutorial: Jupyter Notebook for running common tasks

Major changes since beta 4

Further fixes for these features/issues:

• Jupyter Notebook as a tutorial for running various tasks in the CLI (Add navigation to the sample commands Jupyter Notebook #659)
• Expand continuous integration testing to both pinned and fresh dependencies across Python 3.6-3.12 (Fix ITK-Elastix-based registrations #682)
• ITK-Elastix is now supported for image registration (Fix ITK-Elastix-based registrations #682)
• Fixed for NumPy v2 (Fix discrete colormap generation for single-label images #680)
