level 1 and higher

The levels of importance go from 1 to 5, with meanings:
       1 - users would not care
       2 - of little importance, though some users might care
       3 - fairly important
       4 - a big change or new program
       5 - IMPORTANT: we expect users to know

10 Oct 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX) mask intersect inputs did not have views Thanks to martinsingua on the MB for pointing out the problem.
04 Oct 2024, RC Reynolds, gen_group_command.py, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add -datatable 'command', to generate table for R stats programs Use gen_group_command.py -command datatable to generate datatable files for -dataTable options, for programs like 3dMVM, 3dLME, etc.
24 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, 3dTsplit4D, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX) fix confusion over auto-gzip BRIK name
19 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, @update.afni.binaries, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) allow use of build_afni.py for updating the current package If build_afni.py was used to create the current package, then @uab will also use it for updating (rather than downloading an official package. One can also specify to use it via -build_afni.
16 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_system_check.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) if which Xvfb fails, check for its existence on disk Also, include .login and report fewer homebrew link suggestions. 16 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) apply LOCAL_CC_PATH in Makefile.macos_13_ARM and Makefile.macos_12_x86_64
13 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) in eispack C files, include math.h before f2c.h This should generally have no effect, since the local f2c.h includes math.h. However, if one is using cmake and the system f2c for linking (rather than using afni/src/f2c), then the f2c.h included with the eispack files will not have math.h. So locally include math.h, just to be sure.
12 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, build_afni.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) add option -cc_path Allow one to pass an alternate compiler if the relevant Makefile uses LOCAL_CC_PATH. If this option is not used and the default compiler does not exist, try to find the most recent similar version.
11 Sep 2024, P Taylor, gtkyd_check, level 2 (MINOR), type 7 (REMOVE) Remove the *tcsh script* version of gtkyd_check. This has now been superseded by a Python version of same name.
10 Sep 2024, P Taylor, gtkyd_check, level 3 (MAJOR), type 1 (NEW_PROG) A *Python* version of previously-written tcsh script of same name. Much faster way of checking/tabulating a glob of datasets for properties.
04 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_system_check.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) use uname -m for CPU, instead of platform.processor() 04 Sep 2024, RC Reynolds, OS_notes.macos_12_b_user.tcsh, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) allow the script to be re-run with no effect
30 Aug 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) many updates to help examples; separate paths in compare_opts - make example option order more consistent - add examples: publish 3e ... 3j - exclude 'noshow' examples from default help (currently 3e,f,g,h,j) - separate differing paths in -compare_opts 30 Aug 2024, RC Reynolds, @update.afni.binaries, level 1 (MICRO), type 6 (ENHANCE) mark linux_xorg7 and linux_xorg7_64 as being obsolete
05 Aug 2024, RC Reynolds, compute_ROI_stats.tcsh, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) if ALL_LT includes an ROI value of zero, remove it 05 Aug 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) add option -blip_warp_dset to input a pre-computed warp For example, one can import the warp from epi_b0_correct.py.
23 Jul 2024, RC Reynolds, @chauffeur_afni, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX) undo the the problematic -f change from 2024/04/26 The -f was added to tcsh to prevent biowulf from updating the PATH when using whereami, as they have a different program with that name. But -f means that on macs DYLD vars would not be set, crashing afni when using the macos_10.12_local binaries.
25 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) deal with -Wimplicit-int, mostly from old f2c, needed for gcc-14
24 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, build_afni.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) when running 'make', warn if CC is set (which usually causes failure) 24 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_system_check.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) display CC; warn if CPU type differs between platform and uname
20 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) stop reporting assuming TR=1.0 warnings for now Requested by P Taylor. 20 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, Dimon, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) make -read_all the default Basically for real-time sorting, this forces the initial processing of all (found) images, rather than a limited subset. It allows for proper sorting without requiring an initial alphabetical aspect.
14 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) AFNI.afnirc : use GZIP compression and turn off obliquity warnings AFNI_COMPRESSOR : default to GZIP AFNI_AUTOGZIP : comment out (was YES) AFNI_NO_OBLIQUE_WARNING : default to YES AFNI_ONE_OBLIQUE_WARNING : comment out (was YES)
11 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, build_afni.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) backup directory removal; add -update_niivue option Save only most recent backup directory, possibly plus 1 containing afni. Add -update_niivue, and skip the operation on '-clean_root no'.
06 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, rPkgsInstall, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) along with 3dMVM, handle not having afni in PATH 06 Jun 2024, RC Reynolds, Makefile.macos_13_ARM, level 2 (MINOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add this Makefile (in src) for corresponding build machine This is a ~dupe of other_builds/Makefile.macos_13_ARM_clang.

25 May 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) add -bids_deriv option This adds a call to P Taylor's map_ap_to_deriv.py program, to output a BIDS derivative tree. 25 May 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) add -volreg_allin_warp option This allows specific control over 3dAllineate -warp, using a default of shift_rotate for rigid body registration.
24 May 2024, PD Lauren, suma, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add alpha thresholding
07 May 2024, RC Reynolds, 3dCM, level 1 (MICRO), type 4 (BUG_FIX) 3dCM briefly required a mask Thanks to P Kundu for pointing out the problem.
29 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 3 (MAJOR), type 5 (MODIFY) change 'count' program and usage to 'count_afni' Add count_afni to the distribution, modify scripts to use it, and allow use of count_afni is sub-brick selection, e.g., dset'[count_afni 3 5]' Note that 'count' is still allowed, for now.
26 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, gen_ss_review_scripts.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) -init_uvars_json will now pass through unknown uvars This enables users to pass uvars through afni_proc.py to the APQC. 26 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) in any script calling whereami, invoke with 'tcsh -f' at top This is a quick fix for biowulf usage, since there is a new whereami in town (/usr/local/bin/whereami), and because they reset the PATH. Modify: @Atlasize @MakeLabelTable @chauffeur_afni compute_ROI_stats.tcsh gen_cluster_table
25 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_system_check.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) warn if tcsh version is 6.22.03 - it has $var:h bug 25 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add -uvar option to pass through AP uvars
24 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, Dimon, level 2 (MINOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add -sort_method geme_suid
22 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, 3dmaskdump, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX) singleton coordinates should round to the closest voxel center Originally, box coordinates rounded to the nearest voxel, effectively extending ranges by 1/2 voxel on each side. This was changed in 2021 to be strict. But then singleton coordinates often hit no voxels, and the help says one voxel should be found. Now a singleton coordinate will round to the nearest center, while a ':' separated range will be precise, as with the mixed use: -xbox 5.4:11.3 -17.8:-4.1 11 Here, the '11' will be rounded to the closest center.
17 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX) in THD_load_nifti(), need_copy might imply scale_data Thanks to @liningpan on github for reporting this.

08 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT) add -anat_follower_erode_level, to specify the exact erosion level The older -anat_follower_erode option implies only a single erosion. This parameter is in voxels. As before, a single erosion includes the 18 NN2 neighbors, so all in a 3x3x3 box but the outer 8 corners. See mask_tool -help for details. Added for M. Byrne S. Haller.
07 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, afni_proc.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) the default warp vox dim will round up if very close Particularly when coming from a NIFTI sform, voxel dimensions are often computed. So while an "exact" dimension might be 3, the computed one might come out as 2.99999. Scale dimensions by 1.0001 before truncation.
05 Apr 2024, RC Reynolds, gen_ss_review_scripts.py, level 2 (MINOR), type 6 (ENHANCE) add reg_echo and echo_times; include echo_times in basic review script

Requested by e0046902 on NeuroStars. 29 Mar 2024, RC Reynolds, afni-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) NIFTI s/qform_code of 2 defaults to +orig, once again Have an unset AFNI_NIFTI_VIEW default to 'orig' again. This is how it was originally. It was changed at some point to accommodate an influx of such data in MNI space. Now, revert to having sform_code of 2 to default to orig space.
28 Mar 2024, RC Reynolds, suma-general, level 2 (MINOR), type 5 (MODIFY) temporarily revert to 2023.1003 SUMA tree, while fixing some issues Most of this will go back in, once the issues are resolved.
