raveio 0.0.8

Major changes:

Added bundled validation functions to check data integrity: this function supports both RAVE 1.0 and 2.0 formats
Added backward support to convert 2.0 data format to 1.0
Added file support for BlackRock (NEV, NSx) formats with specification number (>=2.2)
Allowed pipelines to execute without targets to avoid serializing large objects
Added a repository type that requires no epoch information. This is useful when users want to analyze blocks of data
Added monitoring class RAVEWatchDog that can automatically monitor NEV and NSx files, import & process data
Added merge_subjects to merge multiple subjects from the same project but different blocks
Added support for recon-all, dcm2niix, 3dAllineate, and flirt shell-commands (requires external programs to be installed)
Added finalizing installation function to allow installing built-in processing pipelines

Minor changes:

Allow only one signal type to be loaded in each repository
Allowed electrodes to be text instead of vector of integers when creating repository

Bug fixes:

raveio 0.0.7

Major changes:

Added PipelineTools class and wrapped constructor raveio::pipeline to load common utility tools needed to run the pipeline
Added module templates for RAVE-2.0
Allow import_electrode_table to import table without replacing existing electrode files with dry_run option

Major changes:

Added read_mat2 to allow reading Matlab files stored in HDF5 formats
Allow subject instances to store and retrieve default key-value pairs via set_default and get_default methods
Disable multicore by default, so users can use their own plan provided by the future package
Added location and signal types to electrodes
Added function to perform baseline via power_baseline directly from repository
Added multiple repository types for RAVE subjects with identical key as signature
Added with_future_parallel to enable multicore features in the expressions
Added reference signal class
Use ravedash log system provided if the package is installed
Speed-up raveio_getopt and raveio_setopt
Added validate_time_window to return intervals of time windows
Added save_json and load_json to handle JSON format using jsonlite package
Allow to set threeBrain template brain
Added import_electrode_table to import electrode table with coordinates in T1 or MNI space to tkrRAS
Electrodes can load corresponding block data
Added normalize_commandline_path and cmd_* functions to search for external system commands such as FreeSurfer, FSL-FLIRT, dcm2niix
Added backup_file to back up existing files instead of overwriting
Allow to download and install rave-server as services (currently only works on OSX)

Changes to pipeline framework:

Implemented and matured reproducible pipeline framework
Added R-markdown template to build pipelines
Allow pipelines to run in another process and can kill the process anytime
Pipelines run in async mode works in shiny applications
Created an R6 class for pipeline results in promises way
Allow to clear cache files at subject level
Async pipelines can have callback functions at each check, useful for monitoring the progress

Enhancements:

save_yaml can write to connections
rave_imports runs in parallel in native2 format
Added an option to disable fork-clusters (enabled by default on OSX and Linux)
Allows EDF files to be partially read
Added data format entry to the preprocess instance, allowing following modules to be aware of the raw data format
ravetools respects tensor_temp_path as its temporary path
