nibabel 2.4.0 has been released. The main new thing in this
release is the new Axis interface for manipulating CIFTI-2
headers by Michiel Cottaar, but including the last few patch
releases in the 2.3.x series, we've seen some pretty significant
improvements since 2.3.0. We've also had several first-time
contributors, which is great to see.<br>

I guess this is my first release as official nibabel maintainer,
so to make a couple announcements: We're going to try to move to
a minor version every three months and a major version every
year. 2.5.0 is scheduled for late June/early July, and 3.0 is
scheduled for late September/early October, and will have a
1-month release candidate window. A number of features are
scheduled for deprecation, so we'll work to make that as smooth
as possible. Patch releases will come as needed, probably every
1-1.5 months, depending on activity and urgency.<br>

Additionally, 2.5.x will be the last series to support Python 2,
and we'll make a good faith effort to support that series with
bug fixes through the end of 2020, but with the overall
deprecation plans of the wider Python community, this can only
extend so far. We'll work with the OS packagers to try to keep
Python 3-only packages from trying to install into Python 2
environments.</div>

Finally, our documentation could use some attention in the
coming months. There are some broken links in the API docs that
would be good to connect up, but more importantly, we have a
number of new formats and APIs with little instruction on how to
take advantage of all their features. Satra has proposed
nipype-style tutorials (<a
href="https://miykael.github.io/nipype_tutorial/"
id="LPlnk382034" moz-do-not-send="true">https://miykael.github.io/nipype_tutorial/</a>)
for creating and manipulating the various image types, which
seems like a great idea. I suspect many of us have written
presentations or Jupyter notebooks that introduce manipulating
neuroimaging data with nibabel, which would make a good
jumping-off point if we could start aggregating those.<br>
