Nengo 2.3.0 released

The Nengo team is elated to announce the release of Nengo 2.3!

What’s new?

Nengo 2.3 features several improvements under the hood which should speed up certain operations, such as accessing probe data via sim.data.

One nice new feature is the ability to copy and pickle Nengo objects. Nengo objects like Ensemble now have a copy method that will clone that ensemble in the current network context. If you created a model in a console session, for example, you can pickle that model to a file using pickle.dump(model, file), then load it back up anywhere else with model = pickle.load(file).

We have also added a progress bar for models that take a long time to build. Previously, we showed a progress bar when simulating large models, but not when building them. Now you will get a progress bar for each step.

The Nengo team also grew this release. Welcome to the team, Ben Morcos!
