[Neuroimaging] ANN: nibabel 2.3.2

[Christopher Markiewicz]

Hi all,

Nibabel 2.3.2 was released this past Wednesday. 2.3.2 is a bug fix release, and it was primarily triggered by some API changes in the upcoming numpy 1.16.

Please cite using the Zenodo DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2530243<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2530243>

Thanks to all contributors. This release also includes a number of fiddly fixes that improved the documentation and dealt with some of the accumulating warnings issued by upstream libraries, which is great for usability.

The full changelog follows:
