26.02.0-alpha

Released February 2026

New

Add Textual GUI for interactive configuration (--textual flag) (#79).
Compute group-level gradient similarity using PCA-based alignment.
Save DMN similarity summary statistics per group.
Add --light-mode flag to skip age/sex prediction and gradient similarity.
Expand API reference documentation to cover all public modules.

Fixes

Fix light mode handling in workflow.py (#ec65351).
Skip subjects missing from the phenotype file instead of crashing (#77).
Handle NaN values in t-test for network similarity (#85).
Fix hardcoded alpha threshold in significant_level() — now uses the alpha parameter.

Enhancements

Simplify age/sex prediction code and make it pre-commit compliant (#89).
Use loggers instead of print statements throughout the codebase.
Rename legacy logger (gc_log / giga_connectome) to logger / wonkyconn.
Convert all docstrings to Google format; add missing docstrings to public functions.
Remove personal debug comments and stale code references.
Extract magic numbers to module-level constants in workflow.py.
Narrow broad except Exception to except (ValueError, LinAlgError) for age/sex prediction.
Fix Textual app mypy errors (Select NoSelection handling, NodeHighlighted API, focus events).
Clean up stale commented-out code and misleading comments.
Use from scipy import stats instead of bare import scipy in correlation.py.

Changes

CI: detect file changes and trigger different GitHub Actions workflows (#90).
Use group_by to infer plot labels instead of hard coding.
Limit gradient correlation to 3 components.

25.12.0-alpha

Released December 2026

This release marks the work started by @HippocampusGirl and @htwangtw in 2024, and later contributions 2025 from @wangseann (testing, CI, UI), @claraElk (gradient similarity metrics, debugging), and @pbergeret12 (prediction on sex and age).
