Release Notes

• Make code compatible with Python 3
• Neotraits (splitting the aspects of: datatypes, storage, indexing, web forms)
• Add a REST API
• Support authentication in web with a Keycloak server
• Added encryption mechanism for the TVB storage
• Added encryption mechanism for uploaded data
• Support an HPC backend to run heavy simulations with secured data
• Change the Simulator configuration page towards a wizard structure
• The command API has been improved and can be used individually from the web GUI now
• Use Jinja instead of Genshi for tvb web GUI
• CFF importer was removed
• New export button on datatypes to allow exporting a datatype together with its references.
• Data migration from version 1.5.8 is supported. For data generated with older versions, users should first install 1.5.8 to update their data, and then install 2.2
