23.2.0 (January 10, 2024)

New feature release in the 23.2.x series.

This release wraps up a significant refactor of fMRIPrep. The main new features can be used with the --level and --derivatives flags.

The --level flag can take the arguments minimal, resampling or full. The default is full, which should produce nearly the same results as previous versions. minimal will produce only the minimum necessary to deterministically generate the remaining derivatives. resampling will produce some additional derivatives, intended to simplify resampling with other tools.

The --derivatives flag takes arguments of the form name=/path/to/dir, for example --derivatives anat=$SMRIPREP_DIR. If provided, fMRIPrep will read the specified directories for pre-computed derivatives. If a derivative is found, it will be used instead of computing it from scratch. If a derivative is not found, fMRIPrep will compute it and proceed as usual.

Taken together, these features can allow a dataset provider to run a minimal fMRIPrep run, targeting many output spaces, while a user can then run a --derivatives run to generate additional derivatives in only the output spaces they need. Another use case is to provide an precomputed derivative to override the default fMRIPrep behavior, enabling easier workarounds for bugs or experimentation with alternatives.

Additionally, this release includes a number of bug fixes and improvements. This release adds support for MSM-Sulc, improving the alignment of subject surfaces to the fsLR template. This process is enabled by default, but may be disabled with the --no-msm flag.

This release resolves a number of issues with fieldmaps inducing distortions during correction. Phase difference and direct fieldmaps are now masked correctly, preventing the overestimation of distortions outside the brain. Additionally, we now implement Jacobian weighting during unwarping, which corrects for compression and expansion effects on signal intensity. To disable Jacobian weighting, use --ignore fmap-jacobian.

Finally, a new resampling method has been added, to better account for susceptibility distortion and motion in a single shot resampling to a volumetric target space. We anticipate extending this to surface targets in the future.

23.1.4 (August 1, 2023)

Patch release in the 23.1.x series.

This release prioritizes single-band reference BOLD images during SyN-SDC schemes. Additionally, an indices inconsistency was fixed for CIFTI volumetric data.

  • FIX: Pass sbref files to SyN workflow (#3060)
  • FIX: Generate CIFTI volume structure indices in column-major order (nipreps/niworkflows#815)

23.1.3 (June 24, 2023)

Bug fix release in the 23.1.x series.

In rare cases where Freesurfer is unable to align to its default atlas in Talairach registration, it was unable to fall back to the Schwartz atlas because we were not including it in the Docker image. This release exists to provide an updated Docker image, and no upgrade is needed for users not encountering this issue.

  • DOCKER: Include 3T18yoSchwartzReactN32 FreeSurfer atlas in image (#3049)

23.1.2 (June 16, 2023)

Bug fix release in the 23.1.x series.

This release correctly generates *_space-fsLR_desc-reg_sphere.surf.gii, which was previously a copy of the standard *_desc-reg_sphere.surf.gii. Additionally, warnings are now correctly emitted when AROMA-related CLI options are used.

  • CI: Clean up pre-release builds (#3040)

23.1.1 (June 14, 2023)

Bug fix release in the 23.1.x series.

This release corrects a small error that prevented the "goodvoxels" mask from being placed in the output directory if no FreeSurfer output spaces were specified.

  • FIX: Remove bad metadata input from ds_goodvoxels_mask (#3037)

23.1.0 (June 12, 2023)

New feature release in the 23.1.x series.

This release substantially reworks the resampling to fsLR grayordinate space, better accounting for partial volumes and high variance voxels. If you are resampling using --project-goodvoxels, we strongly recommend upgrading.

Fieldmap handling is improved, with better preference given to single-band references in both PEPolar and SyN-SDC schemes. Additionally, fMRIPrep will no longer estimate fieldmaps that are not intended to be used to correct BOLD series, reducing unneeded processing.

This release removes ICA-AROMA from the fMRIPrep workflow. To use ICA-AROMA, set MNI152NLin6Asym:res-2 as a target output space. MELODIC and ICA-AROMA can be run on the resulting images in a separate pipeline. For further information on the reasoning behind this change, see GitHub issue #2936.

This release increments the versions of ANTs and FSL bundled in the Docker image.

With thanks to Eilidh MacNicol, Basille Pinsard and Taylor Salo for contributions in fMRIPrep and SDCflows.

23.0.2 (April 24, 2023)

Bug fix release in the 23.0.x series.

This release fixes issues with _phase1+2, _phasediff and _fieldmap fieldmap files that are found with an orientation other than RAS.

23.0.1 (March 24, 2023)

Bug fix release in the 23.0.x series.

This release fixes issues with detecting partial fieldmaps, emitting a warning instead of an error. A small change in sMRIPrep fixes the name of a workflow, which may cause a duplication in a reused work directory from 23.0.0, but should not break any workflows or produce a change in derivatives.

23.0.0 (March 13, 2023)

New feature release in the 23.0.x series.

This release adds improvements for workflows targeting the fsLR grayordinate space. Namely, morphometric (curvature, sulcal depth and cortical thickness) measures are output as .dscalar.nii files and high-variance voxels can be excluded from the resampling step using --project-goodvoxels.

Additionally, T2w images are now resampled to the T1w-defined subject space if FreeSurfer reconstruction is used. If multiple T2w images are provided, they are merged into a single image first.

PEPolar fieldmaps with R/L phase-encoding directions or in non-standard orientations are now better supported. We continue to work toward better support for more SDC configurations.

23.0.0 supports FreeSurfer 7.3.2, which is now bundled in the Docker image.

ICA-AROMA support will be removed in 23.1.0.

With thanks to Thomas Madison, Greg Conan, Celine Provins, Robert Smith and Yaroslav Halchenko for contributions. Thanks also to Steve Giavasis and colleagues at the Child Mind Institute for feedback on SDC processing.

  • FIX: Ensure version installed in Docker file is clean (#2922)

22.1.0 (December 12, 2022)

New feature release in the 22.1.x series.

This is an incremental improvement on the 22.0.x series, including features and fixes that are backwards incompatible with the 22.0.x work tree.

Several significant issues with susceptibility distortion correction (SDC) have been fixed in SDCFlows 2.2.0, in addition to the changes listed below. If you have been seeing issues with SDC in 21.0.x or 22.0.x, please test out this version and submit issues.

Additionally, this version includes improvements to structural preprocessing, generating morphometric .shape.gii files from FreeSurfer derivatives.

Finally, this release introduces a method for estimating the carbon footprint of using fMRIPrep. Add --track-carbon to your command to try this out. Note that it does not work in Docker containers, but should work for Singularity containers.

21.0.2 (April 21, 2022)

Bug-fix release in the 21.0.x series.

This release includes a few bug-fixes for susceptibility distortion correction (SDC) and multi-echo (ME). A few notable fixes include: - Added tolerance for affine precision differences when using EPI fieldmaps. - Removed hang-ups when reusing anatomical derivatives with ME data. - Increased BOLD masking workflow robustness.

A full list of changes can be found below:

  • DOCKER: Update multiarch deb package link (#2758)
  • ENH: Add affine_tolerance flag to MergeSeries (nipreps/niworkflows#706)
  • FIX: Initialize BIDS layout after cleaning working directory (#2741)

21.0.1 (January 24, 2022)

Bug-fix release in the 21.0.x series.

This release re-enables reverse-PE EPI fieldmaps, i.e. EPIs acquired with the opposite phase-encoding direction to a BOLD series. Additionally, the --use-syn-sdc option will now error by default if no PhaseEncodingDirection can be found for a BOLD series. To reduce this to a warning, use --use-syn-sdc warn. SyN-SDC will NOT be run, but the workflow will proceed.

Note

topup runtime scales with the number of volumes used, so fMRIPrep defaults to using a maximum of 5 volumes from each of the BOLD series and the EPI fieldmap. To adjust this, please use the --topup-max-vols parameter.

  • MNT: Restore nitime to requirements, necessary for DVARS (#2678)

21.0.0 (December 14, 2021)

A new series is finally here!

Some highlights of this version's new features include a substantial rework of fMRIPrep's susceptibility distortion correction (including the addition of FSL's topup as the new default PEPOLAR correction technique), improved flexibility for multiecho scans, and dependency version upgrades within the Docker environment.

Note

To follow BIDS Derivatives more closely, fMRIPrep's default output layout has changed. To enable the legacy layout, use the --output-layout legacy flag. For more information, please see https://fmriprep.org/en/latest/outputs.html#layout

Caution!

As with all minor version increments, working directories from previous versions should not be reused.

With this third minor release series of 2020, the first fMRIPrep LTS (long-term support) is finally here!

This release contains a number of bug-fixes and enhancements mostly related to easing the maintenance, anticipating patch-release breaking changes to ensure a longstanding LTS, and addressing some run-to-run repeatability problems of the CompCor implementation.

Long-Term Support (LTS)

fMRIPrep 20.2 LTS introduces the long-term support program. This LTS version will be kindly steered and maintained by the group of Dr. Basile Pinsard and Prof. Pierre Bellec at CRIUGM, (Université de Montréal). The LTS is planned for a window of 4 years of support (i.e., until September 2024).

Caution!

20.1.0 (May 27, 2020)

The second minor release series of 2020 is finally here!

fMRIPrep 20.1.0 introduces a magnitude of new features and improvements. Originally nominated to become the first LTS (long-term support) version of fMRIPrep, this release has been supercharged with many new features and bug-fixes. To ensure long-term stability, we have postponed the LTS nomination to 20.2 to allow us unlocking the 20.1 earlier, and a more extensive stress testing of the series before jumping into a longer support commitment. Some key additions in this release include:

  • A centralized configuration module keeping track of fMRIPrep's many options and run-time and environmental circumstances and settings. The new config module, which has been also propagated to other NiPreps (dMRIPrep, MRIQC), comes to robustify the run-to-run replicability of fMRIPrep (e.g., tracking random seeds), make the option handling more modular but consistent (e.g., setting the ground for a command-line interface built off of the config module), and ease troubleshooting and telemetry.
  • The anatomical preprocessing fast-track: a new experimental command-line option (--anat-derivatives <PATH>) checks that all necessary anatomical derivatives required by fMRIPrep are present under <PATH>, and skips the anatomical processing in full if fMRIPrep's expectations are met. Because now functional processing of many sessions and runs can be efficiently split into more digestible computational units (i.e., cluster job) while guaranteeing the exact same anatomical results are being used, this can significantly speed up longitudinal study preprocessing, and it is a fundamental optimization to process databases of densely scanned individuals such as My Connectome. This option is not recommended for single-session processing.
  • A change in output CIFTI2 subcortical volume orientation to be compatible with HCP Pipeline tools and data.

Thanks

20.0.x series (February 2020)

20.0.7 (May 5, 2020)

Bug-fix release in the 20.0.x series.

This release includes a new, portable version of the templateflow python client. This includes an automatic check to fetch the latest templateflow templates every time.

  • MAINT: Bump templateflow to auto-update template skeleton

20.0.6 (April 16, 2020)

Bug-fix release in the 20.0.x series.

This release fixes a bug for phase-difference fieldmaps that are not in RAS+ orientation. The bug presented as an error if the orientation was reordered relative to RAS+ (for example, AIL+) and the swapped dimensions were not of the same size. Otherwise, the bug introduced a poor masking of the phase difference map, and could be quite subtle if the original orientation was LAS+. Runs of fMRIPrep that used other susceptibility distortion correction (SDC) methods are not currently considered problematic.

This bug affects all earlier versions of fMRIPrep, except for 1.5.10 and any future releases in the 1.5.x series.

20.0.5 (March 19, 2020)

Bug-fix release in 20.0.x series.

With thanks to James Kent for the fix and Blaise Frederick for the report and testing.

20.0.4 (March 17, 2020)

A bug-fix release improving documentation for filtering BIDS files and standardizing CIFTI volume orientation.

With thanks to Ursula Tooley for the contribution.

  • DOC: FAQ section for BIDS filter (#2028)
  • FIX: Ensure BOLD and label orientations are equal (nipreps/niworkflows#477).

20.0.3 (March 12, 2020)

A bug-fix release for CIFTI surfaces.

This release remedies a resampling error when generating fsLR surfaces that was producing erroneous CIFTI files. We strongly recommend all users who have generated CIFTI output with previous 20.0.x releases to upgrade and rerun.

  • FIX: Remedy fsLR surface resampling (#2032)

20.0.2 (March 6, 2020)

A bug squashing release in the 20.0.x series.

This release fixes the use of custom templates within the docker wrapper, remedies crashes when FreeSurfer HOME was not set, and improves the documentation for local installations.

With thanks to Blaise Frederick for the contribution.

  • DOC: Update standalone installation requirements (#2009)
  • FIX: Crashes whenever FREESURFER_HOME is not set (#2014)
  • FIX: Local template mounting (wrapper) (#2020)
  • MAINT: Pin minor series of nipype, major series of nibabel (#2021)

20.0.1 (February 27, 2020)

Bug-fix release in 20.0.x series.

This release includes fixes for rare images with invalid qform matrices and some minor improvements in report readability and inclusion of common templates in the Docker image.

  • FIX: Handle qforms with invalid quaternions (nipreps/niworkflows#466)
  • FIX: update niworkflows location (#2005)
  • ENH: Display errors as summary/details elements in reports (nipreps/niworkflows#464)
  • DOC: Add --fs-subjects-dir usage to slurm example (#2003)
  • CI: Test that Docker image can run a common set of output spaces without network access (#1997)

20.0.0 (February 24, 2020)

The major release of 2020 is here!

fMRIPrep is transitioning to a calendar version system (#1912). The CalVer system reflects fMRIPrep's nature as an evolving workflow and does not impose any artificial incentive for "big-change" releases. It also permits to quickly see how out-of-date someone's version is. As of now, the default version increment is the minor release number. Hence, when the minor release number changes the work directory of fMRIPrep will presumably break. Micro releases only include bug-fixes that can reuse exiting working directories.

The major highlight of this release entails CIFTI generation to match :abbr:`HCP (Human Connectome Project)` grayordinates. In addition, the new fMRIPrep 20.0.0 has gone through a major overhaul in the handling of standard spaces (spatial normalizations, fusion of prior knowledge from corresponding atlases) and imaging outputs. In particular, the new series almost completely implements the new syntax for --output-spaces to describe the (non)standard spatial references that shall be used for generating outputs (#1604).

This release includes contributions from Azeez Adebimpe and Basile Pinsard - very much appreciated.

  • ENH: Warn when existing output version does not match current pipeline version (#1967)
  • ENH: Add --clean-workdir argument (#1966)
  • ENH: Refactor of how spatial normalization targets and --output-spaces are maintained (#1955) (#1983)
  • ENH: Add --bids-filter-file argument for more controlled data querying (#1770)
  • FIX: Ensure subject ID is used when selecting BIDS data (#1982)
  • FIX: Display a log message when processing completes successfully (#1977)
  • DOC: Clean up surface outputs (#1993)
  • DOC: Integrate intersphinx, drop external module wrapping (#1989)
  • DOC: Improve custom template usage description (#1969)
  • MAINT: Use local docker registry (#1990)
  • MAINT: Pin connectome-workbench 1.3.2, add to documented dependencies (#1958)
  • MAINT: Pin NiBabel, NiWorkflows, sMRIPrep (#1971)
  • MAINT: CI build error fixes (#1976)

1.5.x series (September 2019)

1.5.10 (April 16, 2020)

Bug-fix release in the 1.5.x series.

This release fixes a bug for phase-difference fieldmaps that are not in RAS+ orientation. The bug presented as an error if the orientation was reordered relative to RAS+ (for example, AIL+) and the swapped dimensions were not of the same size. Otherwise, the bug introduced a poor masking of the phase difference map, and could be quite subtle if the original orientation was LAS+. Runs of fMRIPrep that used other susceptibility distortion correction (SDC) methods are not currently considered problematic.

This bug affects all previous versions of fMRIPrep, as well as versions 20.0.0-20.0.5.

1.5.9 (February 14, 2020)

Bug-fix release in the 1.5.x series.

This release fixes a bug for some phase maps generated by Philips. A full fix with better handling of all phase maps will be available in an upcoming minor release (20.0 or 20.1), but this should permit users who are processing with 1.5.x to resolve this issue in a way that does not affect phase maps unaffected by the bug.

  • FIX: Center phase maps around central mode, avoiding FoV-related outliers (nipreps/sdcflows#89)

1.5.8 (January 28, 2020)

Bug-fix release in the 1.5.x series.

  • FIX: SyN SDC logic failing in --force-syn cases (#1951)

1.5.0 (September 9, 2019)

Two hallmark changes conducive to a new minor release line have been included in version 1.5.0: the upgrade of PyBIDS to the 0.9 series and the split of SDCflows off from fMRIPrep codebase. PyBIDS 0.9.x has a better handling of the indexed dataset that will permit some optimizations to fMRIPrep's memory fingerprint. SDCflows now are found at nipreps/sdcflows, and have been split to allow a more granular and thorough testing in collaboration with M. Cieslak, A. Adebimpe, and T. Satterthwaite. Some other bugfixes, improvements to the documentation and minor features are also shipped with the new release. With thanks to Ursula Tooley, Sebastian Urchs and Gabriel A. Devenyi for contributions.

1.4.x series (May 2019)

1.4.1 (July 9, 2019)

As of 1.4.1, the new infant and pediatric templates added to TemplateFlow are available to brain extraction and spatial normalization. Containers do not set the TEMPLATEFLOW_HOME environment variable anymore, allowing increased flexibility when running them (especially Singularity, for which the filesystem is generally set read-only). Additionally, BOLD files in native space can be generated and a minor bug related to the handling of FreeSurfer outputs have been included.

  • FIX: Finalizing support for new templates and their command line modifiers (#1671) @oesteban
  • FIX: Do not set TEMPLATEFLOW_HOME (#1669) @oesteban
  • FIX: FreeSurfer failed without adding some fs* to --output-spaces (#1643) @oesteban
  • ENH: Show informative warning for phase1/2 type of fieldmaps (#1689) @oesteban
  • ENH: Allow template modifiers (a la --output-spaces) in skull-stripping (#1666) @oesteban
  • ENH: Write outputs in native-BOLD space (#1646) @oesteban
  • DOC: Add WHT to Zenodo (#1683) @wiheto

1.4.0 (May 15, 2019)

The new 1.4 series include several new features, several maintenance patches, and numerous bugfixes. The largest change to fMRIPrep's interface is the new --output-spaces argument that allows running spatial normalization to one or more standard templates, and also to indicate that data preprocessed and resampled to the individual's anatomical space should be generated. The implementation of this option will be completed in future releases to include new nonstandard spaces (e.g., this BOLD run's native space) and custom templates providing a path. For example, the following fMRIPrep options:

--template MNI152NLin6Asym --output-space template T1w fsaverage5 ----template-resampling-grid 2mm

now would be accomplished with:

--output-spaces MNI152NLin6Asym:res-2 anat fsaverage:den-10k

with the difference that more templates could be specified if needed, e.g.,

--output-spaces MNI152NLin6Asym:res-2 anat fsaverage:den-10k MNI152NLin2009cAsym:native

Related anatomical preprocessing workflows from sMRIPrep have gone through thorough revisions. In particular, the brain extraction workflow now is implemented in pure Nipype.

Users will notice the addition of two new subsections in the reports generated by fMRIPrep. The first addition describes the cumulative variance explained by successive a/tCompCor components. A second addition shows the correlations between the confounding regressors that fMRIPrep writes to the corresponding file, and their correlation to the global signal.

Series 1.4 increasingly relies on PyBIDS to handle not only inputs, but also outputs and reporting. The reports generation system has been deeply refactored to improve its generalizability across BIDS-Apps and addressing some rendering problems (e.g., when resizing ICA-AROMA components decompositions). Finally, there were several updates to packaging, testing and documentation, which should hopefully improve the experience for new users and contributors.

1.2.1 (November 1, 2018)

Hotfix release (deployment system)

1.2.0 (October 31, 2018)

This release marks a substantial renaming of derivatives to conform to the BIDS Derivatives specification [release candidate](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ebopupQxuRwp7U7TFvS6BH03ALJOgGHufxK8ToAvyI/).

The most significant additional change is a substantial revision of BOLD skull-stripping, using a BOLD template constructed from many open datasets. Building off the work of Zhifang Ye (see #1050), the skull-stripping is now much more resilient to intensity inhomogeneity.

With many thanks to Ali Cohen, James Kent, Inge Amlien, Sebastian Urchs, and Zhifang Ye for contributions.
