inside the closed surface. In addition, the program outputs a dataset
with the shortest distance of each voxel to the surface.
See examples under 3dSurfMask -help.
10 Jun 2011, DR Glen, whereami, level 4 (SUPER), type 0 (GENERAL)
Generic Atlas Support and new atlases
Atlases, spaces and transformations are now defined in a NIML file,
AFNI_atlas_spaces.niml. Transformations among spaces for coordinates
are defined in that file for use by whereami and the whereami display
in the AFNI GUI. The flexible naming of the spaces and atlases allows
easy addition of new atlases to AFNI processing.
Two new environment variables control what atlases and spaces are shown
when no atlas is specified, AFNI_ATLAS_LIST and AFNI_TEMPLATE_SPACE_LIST
The list of atlases now defaults to the TT_Daemon and the Eickhoff-
Zilles atlases in MNI_ANAT space.
Additionally, the cytoarchitectonic atlases from the Zilles, Eickhoff
group have been updated to the most recent version, 1.8.
***The previous versions, 1.5, are not used in this release by default.
Depending upon differences on how regions or codes are defined and used,
it is possible that processing scripts and results may be affected.
With this release, we also introduce three probabilistic atlases
donated by the Desai group generated from a typical AFNI pipeline.
These atlases contain a multitude of regions created using both
@auto_tlrc and FreeSurfer.
08 Jun 2011, ZS Saad, afni-general, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT)
Added -npb and modified title bar to reflect bloc of ports
You can have multiple instances of programs talking to each other.
See afni's help for details on the -npb option.

Allow multiple instances of communicating programs per machine.
This was done by generalizing option -np PORT_OFFSET which
allows users to use a different set of ports for different AFNI/SUMA/etc.
sessions.Port numbers should no longer be hard coded anywhere. New dedicat
ed
ports should be added to then new init_ports_list() function.
18 May 2011, ZS Saad, @RetinoProc, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT)
Added options for mapping to specific layers, and the use of delay
The options -wm, -pial, etc. allow for tight control of mapping
onto specific layers in the cortex.
Option -delay improves latency estimation compare to using the phase
of the fundamental frequency.
18 May 2011, ZS Saad, 3dRetinoPhase, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT)
Added options to 3dRetinoPhase to estimate latency as in 3ddelay
The two options for computing delays, instead of phase, are
-phase_estimate DELAY, and -ref_ts REF_TS . See program's -help for
details.
Also added -ort_adjust which is needed to account for lost DOF in
external detrending when estimating the significance of correlation
coefficients with delay estimation.
The program now output a correlation coefficient with the visual field
angles datasets.
And speaking of correlation coefficients, the significance levels should
be taken with a grain of salt, especially in derived datasets such as
field angle, and VFR in SurfRetinoMap.
12 May 2011, RC Reynolds, uber_skel.py, level 3 (MAJOR), type 1 (NEW_PROG)

25 Apr 2011, ZS Saad, afni-general, level 3 (MAJOR), type 5 (MODIFY)
Major reorganization of 'whereami' functionality.
The code changes affect anything related to atlas datasets and whereami
functionality. The changes were made take advantage of Daniel Glen's new
API to handle atlas, space, and template definitions.
There is now very little reliance on hard coded atlas information in the
source code. Whatever is left is needed to ensure backward compatibility.
07 Apr 2011, DR Glen, whereami, level 3 (MAJOR), type 3 (NEW_ENV)
Framework changes for generic atlases
Atlases now can have segmentation in a NIML structure attribute
in the atlas dataset header. The environment variable,
AFNI_CUSTOM_ATLAS, can contain a custom atlas prefix. Details on
NIML attributes will be forthcoming. In the meantime, existing
atlases should work as before with the minor exception of mask
datasets are now set to have voxel values of 1 rather than
the values from the atlas dataset.
20 Mar 2011, RC Reynolds, uber_subject.py, level 3 (MAJOR), type 6 (ENHANCE)

lagged effects in an SVAR model for ROI-based network analysis.
See more details at http://afni.nimh.nih.gov/sscc/gangc/SVAR.html
10 Sep 2010, DR Glen, afni_all, level 3 (MAJOR), type 5 (MODIFY)
Introduce code allowing multiple space sessions but limited to existing
spaces (ORIG, ACPC, TLRC) so should continue to be transparent.
Datasets are now tagged with space attribute, TLRC/MNI/MNI_ANAT,
and defines which kind of template a dataset has been aligned to.
This attribute is handled by @auto_tlrc, adwarp, 3drefit, whereami,
and the AFNI GUI using the whereami GUI. In the AFNI GUI, this
has the effect of allowing a dataset to be identified by its template
with the transformation to the TLRC or other atlas space handled
automatically. Other AFNI programs should apply the template space of
the master dataset or first dataset to the output.
cvs tag marked on code before this change as mid-atlantic
26 Aug 2010, ZS Saad, @auto_tlrc, level 3 (MAJOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX)
Fixed bug in @auto_tlrc in usage 2 mode AND with no suffix
There was a bug in @auto_tlrc for the last 2 months:
from June 30, 2010 until August 26, 2010.
It occurs only when using auto_tlrc in:
usage 2 mode
AND
with -suffix omitted, or set to NONE.
This bug does not affect your data if you had used adwarp -apar,
or if you put your data in TLRC space via afni_proc.py,
or align_epi_anat.py.
The bug essentially results in a renaming of your follower dataset,
without the spatial transformation. So, if you were applying the
transform to epi+orig, it practically got renamed to epi+tlrc.
Despite the +tlrc in the name, epi+tlrc would still be in +orig
view and you no longer have epi+orig on disk.
Examples of affected commands would be:
@auto_tlrc -apar anat+tlrc -input epi+orig
or
@auto_tlrc -apar anat+tlrc -suffix NONE -input epi+orig
The script did produce Error messages but it failed to stop.
If you think you ran the buggy command (a clear symptom would be
missing +orig datasets AND bad alignment in TLRC of course), you
must download the latest binaries and rerun @auto_tlrc after you
have recreated the +orig files. You can also just get @auto_tlrc
at the link below.
Sorry for this, I had tested complicated option combinations on
the last release, but all tests had used the -suffix option.
()
Binaries postdating this message will contain the new script.
You can also get a corrected version of @auto_tlrc at this link:
Thanks To James Blair for finding the bug.

Use BHelp on p and q text in suma to get more info.
27 Feb 2008, RW Cox, 3dTfitter, level 3 (MAJOR), type 2 (NEW_OPT)
add deconvolution via the '-FALTUNG' option
Unlike 3dDeconvolve, this deconvolution is to find the input time
series, given the impulse response function.
27 Feb 2008, RC Reynolds, afni_history, level 4 (SUPER), type 1 (NEW_PROG)
program to display the history of AFNI updates
This will be used to create a web page of AFNI updates.
Please see 'afni_history -help' for more details.
25 Feb 2008, RC Reynolds, plug_vol2surf, level 3 (MAJOR), type 4 (BUG_FIX)

were the same.
21 Feb 2008, RC Reynolds, GIFTI, level 4 (SUPER), type 0 (GENERAL)
AFNI programs can now read and write GIFTI datasets
GIFTI datasets are for data in the surface domain, with file suffix .gii.
Support must be requested at compile time, and it requires libexpat.
Please see http://www.nitrc.org/projects/gifti for many details.
16 Feb 2008, RW Cox, 3dTfitter, level 4 (SUPER), type 1 (NEW_PROG)
new program = linear fits to voxel time series
Uses L1 or L2 regression, with optional constraints to fit each voxel
time series as a sum of basis time series, which can be 1D files or
3D+time datasets. Basis time series that are 1D time series are
the same for all input voxels. Basis time series that are 3D+time
datasets are different for each voxel.
Differences from 3dDeconvolve:
* Basis time series can vary across voxels.
* Fit coefficients can be found with L1 or L2 error functions, and
can be constrained to be positive or negative.
* 3dTfitter does not compute goodness-of-fit statistics.
14 Feb 2008, ZS Saad, suma, level 3 (MAJOR), type 0 (GENERAL)

19 Dec 2007, ZS Saad, suma-general, level 3 (MAJOR), type 0 (GENERAL)
Use of '[i]' to select node index from surface dset
Square bracket '[]' selection works for surface-based
datasets much like it does for volume-based ones.
In addition, one can use '[i]' to select the indices
of nodes for which data are defined in a particular
surface-based dataset.
For more information, see 'SUMA dataset input options:'
section in the output of ConvertDset -help .

Oldest History stuff
AFNI was created in summer 1994 (but some parts date to the 1980s).
However, no formal log was made of changes until this date in 1996.
So this is the beginning of AFNI historiography.
'Lately it occurs to me: What a long, strange trip it's been.'
