* 0.4.1 (Friday 10 February 2017)

  Bugfix, refactoring and compatibility release.

  * New discrete cosine transform functions for building basis sets;
  * Fixes for compatibility with Python 3.6;

  * Fix for bug in ``nipy_diagnose`` script / ``screens`` module giving
    incorrect PCA output;
  * Added SPM HRF to other HRF options;
  * Redesign concept of an image "space" with new image space modules,
    functions, classes;
  * Various fixes for correct installation provided or suggested by YH;
  * Some visualization changes by Elvis Dohmatob;

* 0.3.0 (Saturday 2 February 2013)

  Bugfix, refactoring and compatibility release.

  * Addition of EM algorithm for mixed effects analysis (BT)
  * New high-level GLM class interface (BT)

  * Allow saving of nipy images loaded from nifti files that lack explicit
    affine (MB)
  * Allow `slice_order=None` to `FmriRealign4D` when not doing time
    interpolation (AR); check for valid slice order specification (YH)
  * Refactoring of quantile routine to move code out of C library (AR)
  * Fix bug in resampling of unsigned int images (AR)
  * Custom doctest machinery to work round differences of dtype repr on
