skan v0.12.2#

This minor release added an important bug fix from Neil Shephard (#235), preventing a crash when working with float32 images.

skan v0.12.1#

This minor release fixed issues with the version switcher in the documentation.

skan v0.12.0#

This release adds NumPy 2.0 compatibility (while remaining compatible with 1.x) (#229). It also lays the groundwork for new skeleton editing features with bidirectional Skeleton to NetworkX conversion functions (#224.

We also have a minor deprecation that should improve quality of life in the future: column names in the summary dataframe can now use _ as the separator (instead of -), which allows one to use the pandas attribute access for columns (for example, summary.branch_distance instead of summary['branch-distance']. Use the separator='_' keyword argument to summarize to take advantage of this feature (which will become the default in a future version), or separator='-' to maintain the current behavior even when new versions come out (#215).

The napari plugin now lets you make a Shapes layer fully backed by a Skeleton dataset, including coloring the edges by features in the summary table (#201).

Thanks to Neil Shephard, James Ryan, Jarod Hanko, and Tim Monko for their contributions to this release! 🙏 You can find the full list of changes below:
