New BIDScoin release 4.4.0

So Long, Qt5, and no Thanks for All the Bugs!

We’re excited to announce the release of BIDScoin 4.4.0, featuring a major refactor of the codebase for improved clarity, organization, and maintainability. This update makes writing plugins simpler than ever before!

BIDScoin already has plugins for dcm2niix, spec2nii, and nibabel, but this list could easily be extended to e.g. PET, physiological data, or any other converter that outputs BIDS-compliant file formats. If you want to write a new plugin, check out the docs!

What’s new

  • Support for BIDS v1.10.0 (including MRS data, which is now officially part of BIDS)

What’s changed

  • BIDScoin’s main API, which now includes new classes to separate the logic from the bidsmap data
  • Dropped support for Qt5
  • Plugins are now installed in BIDScoin’s user configuration directory
