0.15.0

Release Notes

New feature release in the 0.15.x series.

Downstream tools should be aware of a potentially breaking, albeit long-demanded, change introduced in #819. Run indices are now stored so that the integers that come out retain any zero-padding that was found during parsing.

This release also introduces the bids.ext namespace package that allows independent packages to install modules in this namespace. This is an infrastructural change that will allow some components to be separately managed and follow a different development pace.
