Dear community!

We are very pleased to announce the new 0.18 release of MNE-Python (
http://martinos.org/mne/stable/).

A few highlights
================

- Python 2 is no longer supported; MNE-Python now requires Python 3.5+
- New tutorials and examples on sleep stage classification, data simulation
using subject's anatomy, how to use EEG montages on fsaverage
- New module to simulate SourceEstimates
- Improved performance using CUDA, better copy management, better
dispatching of the computation over the channels
- New fetchers for polysomnography (PSG) recordings from Physionet and
fsaverage template
- Better support for source reconstruction with beamformers and other
inverse models
- Improved UI and visualizations for topomaps, Raw and Epochs objects
- Better support for Annotations
- Support to compute power envelope correlations on brain parcellation for
rest data
- Better rendering of the coregistration
- Added partial support for PyVista as a 3D backend that can replace mayavi
- Added support for Raw, Epochs and Evoked noise simulation
- Added new parcellation (448-labels subdivided aparc) and improve support
including morphing of the labels
- Better support for the TFR objects

And we caught and fixed more than 50 bugs!

Notable API changes
===================

- Deprecation of `mne.realtime` module to become entire project in the MNE
echosystem
- Deprecation of `mne.io.find_edf_events`, `raw.estimate_rank`
- Reading BDF and GDF files with `mne.io.read_raw_edf` is deprecated and
replaced by `mne.io.read_raw_bdf` and `mne.io.read_raw_gdf`
- The signatures of `mne.preprocessing.ICA`, `mne.simulation.add_noise` and
`mne.simulation.add_chpi` have changed
- Added overwrite parameter in `mne.Epochs.save`
- `mne.minimum_norm.apply_inverse` now returns
`mne.VolVectorSourceEstimate` when needed
- Annotations are now kept sorted by onset
- `peak_finder` should be imported as: `from mne.preprocessing import
peak_finder`
