ANNarchy 4.7.3 released

[julien...@gmail.com]

Dear all,

ANNarchy 4.7.3 has been released. As in the previous 4.7. sub releases, we tried to improve the performance under the hood. However, there are also some additions to the interface:

- you can now create the report directly from the command line:

python3 my_model.py --report=report.tex or python3 my_model.py --report=report.md

- Added two standard evaluation methods to Monitor: inter_spike_interval, coefficient_of_variation

For a list of all changes/bugfixes/etc. see:

https://github.com/ANNarchy/ANNarchy/releases/tag/4.7.3

Installation note:

In some rare cases, the installation using

pip install ANNarchy

or

pip install . # i.e., install from sources

is performed successfully, but a simulation run will crash with a notification from NumPy that data types are not matched. This can be circumvented by re-installing ANNarchy using:

pip install --no-build-isolation ANNarchy

or

pip install --no-build-isolation . 

As far as we know, the problem arises only for pip above v20.0, and a limited number of NumPy versions.

Best regards

Helge and Julien
