1.5.0rc2 (August 23, 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 `poldracklab/sdcflows <https://github.com/poldracklab/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. * FIX: Postpone ``pandoc`` conversion of boilerplate after workflow has fully run (#1710) @oesteban * FIX: Use MNI152NLin2009cAsym for SDC if no templates are specified (#1703) @effigies * FIX: Correct BOLD-T1w registration description if DoF != 9 (#1701) @effigies * ENH: Make fmriprep print defaults for arguments with help (#1735) @gdevenyi * ENH: Add check for updates and check whether version has been flagged.
