It took us a while, but we are very happy to finally announce a new release, Brian 2.5. This release comes with a large number of bug fixes, various small improvements to the C++ code generation process, new examples and improved documentation, as well as a more powerful “generator syntax” for synapse generation. In particular, it is now possible to generate a fixed number of synapses randomly – either for each pre-synaptic or for each post-synaptic cell. We have also updated our build and testing infrastructure, and now provide binary pip-installable packages for all platforms, including the fancy new Apple hardware. Please let us know if you run into any issues!
Great, thanks! I forgot about adding it to the new installation instructions (which now mentions the Debian and Fedora packages) – would be happy to merge a Pull Request adding instructions on how to install Brian with Spack .
Hello, happy to report that the Fedora Linux package has also been updated to the latest version now, and should reach users in a week or so (after going through the QA pipeline):
