* A ``Network`` object has been added to run multiple simulations in parallel (``parallel_run()``). See :doc:`../manual/Network`.
* Recording goes through the ``Monitor`` object. Old recording methods are depreciated. See :doc:`../manual/Recording`.
* The flag ``exact`` is replaced by ``event-driven``. Still works, but will be suppressed in future versions.
* The behavior of a spiking neuron with two coupled variables (e.g. Izhikevich) during the refractory period is changed. The ODEs are not evaluated at all during the refractory period (except the conductances). The ``unless-refractory`` flag has no effect anymore. Before, ``u`` started decaying during the refractory period.
* Variables updated in pre-spike or post-spike (spiking synapse) can now define min/max bounds. Useful to avoid clipping explicitly the weights.
* Change in hybrid populations. ``PoissonPopulation`` should be used for rate-to-spike conversion, ``DecodingProjection`` for spike-to-rate. See :doc:`../manual/Hybrid`.
* Bug when using conditionals in pre-spike and post-spike.
* Bug when using t_pre and t_post explicitly.
* Speed-up of connect_fixed_number_pre/post.
