> Hi all,
> 
> Just a quick announcement that nibabel has a new bug-fix release, version 2.4.1.
> The next anticipated release will be 2.5.0, targeted for July, and 2.5.x will
> be the last of the Python 2-compatible series, with bug-fix-only support
> through the *end* of 2020.
> 
> Probably the highest-impact change in 2.4.1 is that all DataobjImages accept the
> `mmap` keyword argument on a best-effort basis, so `nibabel.load(fname,
> mmap=False)` will now succeed for all but GIFTI images. Additionally, GIFTI
> data arrays are editable again with recent numpy, and FreeSurfer annotation
> files can be written more reliably.
> 
> For a (probably) very small set of users, the `keep_file_open` parameter and
> `nibabel.arrayproxy.KEEP_FILE_OPEN_DEFAULT` will now raise warnings if set to
> 'auto'. This was scheduled to happen at 2.4.0, but we missed it. Apologies.
> 
> Thanks very much to new contributors Egor Pafilov and Jath Palasubramaniam, as
> well as Richard Nemec and Dave Allured who helped diagnose and provide fixes to
> some deeply non-obvious bugs.

> Full changelog follows.
