Welcome to PyNN 0.12.0!

NEST 3.6 support

PyNN now supports the latest version of NEST. NEST 3.4 and 3.5 should also work. For older versions of NEST, you will need an older version of PyNN to match.

Beta: API extensions for multicompartment neurons

In this release we introduce an experimental API extension for multicompartment neurons with detailed biophysics. Multicompartment support is only available for the NEURON backend and for the new Arbor backend.
