v2021.8 – Retry on ReadError

Retry downloads if a ReadError has occurred.

v2021.7 – Performance improvements and more sanity checks

• Before resuming a download, check if local and remote datasets actually match.
• Massively reduce memory footprint (by 2 orders of magnitude).
• Don't download files twice in some situations simply to determine their file size during the first run.

v2021.6 – Fewer false alarms when checking file size

Disable transfer encoding (i.e., compression). This allows for an easier check whether a file has been completely downloaded, and leads to fewer false alarms.

v2021.5 – Fewer timeouts

• Ramp up timeouts from 5 to 30 seconds for downloads from openneuro.org.
• Drop support for Python 3.6. openneuro-py now requires Python 3.7 or newer. This change makes development easier.

v2021.4 – Fixes for timeouts and retries

This release fixes some issues related to timeouts and openneuro-py stalling instead of retrying a failed download attempt. There are still some issues to be addressed in a future release, but the fixes includes here should already help some users.

v2021.3 – Support OpenNeuro's GraphQL API and wildcards

This release adds support for OpenNeuro's GraphQL API. The REST API openneuro-py used previously is deprecated and didn't work anymore in the past weeks.

The release also adds wildcard support to the include and exclude parameters, such that specifications like sub-1_task-*.fif will work now.

v2021.2 – Fixes for Windows systems using CMD

Unicode fixes for Windows (#31)

v2021.1 – Fixes for Python <3.8

Fixes for Python <3.8 (#30)

v2021.0 – Fewer timeouts in 2021!

We've improved handling of connection timeouts, so downloads should work more reliably even on flakey connections.

v2020.7 – More download verifications

• Verify file hahses by default whenever possible.
• Several performance improvements.
