deterministically generate the remaining derivatives. ``resampling`` will produce
some additional derivatives, intended to simplify resampling with other tools.

The ``--derivatives`` flag takes arguments of the form ``name=/path/to/dir``.
If provided, fMRIPrep will read the specified directories for pre-computed
derivatives. If a derivative is found, it will be used instead of computing
it from scratch. If a derivative is not found, fMRIPrep will compute it and
proceed as usual.
The ``--derivatives`` flag takes arguments of the form ``name=/path/to/dir``,

Taken together, these features can allow a dataset provider to run a minimal
fMRIPrep run, targeting many output spaces, while a user can then run a

to override the default fMRIPrep behavior, enabling easier workarounds for
bugs or experimentation with alternatives.

Additionally, this release includes a number of bug fixes and minor improvements.
In particular, susceptibility distortion correction has been improved for
PEPolar, phase difference and direct fieldmaps.
Additionally, this release includes a number of bug fixes and improvements.
This release adds support for MSM-Sulc, improving the alignment of subject
surfaces to the fsLR template. This process is enabled by default, but may
be disabled with the ``--no-msm`` flag.

This release resolves a number of issues with fieldmaps inducing distortions
during correction. Phase difference and direct fieldmaps are now masked correctly,
preventing the overestimation of distortions outside the brain. Additionally,
we now implement Jacobian weighting during unwarping, which corrects for compression
and expansion effects on signal intensity.

Finally, a new resampling method has been added, to better account for
susceptibility distortion and motion in a single shot resampling to a volumetric
