20.0.0 (February 24, 2020)
==========================
The major release of 2020 is here!

*fMRIPrep* is transitioning to a calendar version system
(`#1912 <https://github.com/poldracklab/fmriprep/issues/1912>`__).
The `CalVer <https://calver.org/>`__ system reflects *fMRIPrep*'s nature
as an evolving workflow and does not impose any artificial incentive for
"big-change" releases.
It also permits to quickly see how out-of-date someone's version is.
As of now, the *default* version increment is the minor release number.
Hence, when the minor release number changes the work directory of *fMRIPrep*
will presumably break.
Micro releases only include bug-fixes that can reuse exiting working directories.

The major highlight of this release entails CIFTI generation to match
:abbr:`HCP (Human Connectome Project)` *grayordinates*.
In addition, the new *fMRIPrep 20.0.0* has gone through a major overhaul in the
handling of standard spaces (spatial normalizations, fusion of prior knowledge from
corresponding atlases) and imaging outputs.
In particular, the new series almost completely implements the new
syntax for ``--output-spaces`` to describe the (non)standard spatial references
that shall be used for generating outputs
(`#1604 <https://github.com/poldracklab/fmriprep/issues/1604>`__).

This release includes contributions from Azeez Adebimpe and Basile Pinsard - very much appreciated.
