> Hi all,

> NiBabel 3.1.0 is out. This release completes a conversion from nose to pytest,
> ensuring Python 3.9 compatibility when that comes out later this year.
> Additionally, we added some conformation tools as both a Python function and a
> new nib-conform command-line interface.

> NiBabel 2.5.2 was released about two weeks ago, an update in the 2.5.x series
> that retains support for Python 2.7 and 3.4. A couple fixes for SyntaxWarnings
> were back-ported, but the main change was setting maximum compatible versions
> for numpy and scipy to 1.16.x and 1.2.x, which are respectively the final
> series with Python 2 support in those projects. Python 3 users who want to use
> newer features of numpy and scipy are encouraged to upgrade to NiBabel 3.

> Particular thanks to the team that sprinted on tests in February (Dorota
> Jarecka, Roberto Guidotti, Anibal Solon, and Or Duek). And thanks as usual to
> everyone who's contributed, submitted bug reports or fixes.

> * Affine rescaling function (``affines.rescale_affine``) to update
> dimensions and voxel sizes (pr/853) (CM, reviewed by Jakub Kaczmarzyk)

> Bug fixes
> ---------
> * Delay import of h5py until neded (pr/889) (YOH, reviewed by CM)

> Maintenance
> -----------
> * Fix typo in documentation (pr/893) (Zvi Baratz, reviewed by CM)
