Hi,

I am pleased to announce the new 0.5 release of mne-python.

This release comes with a huge number of new features and usability improvements  
thanks to our growing number of contributors. A few highlights are:

- connectivity module in sensor and source space (see Christmas gift attached)  
- independent component analysis (ICA)  
- spatio-temporal cluster-level statistics in source space  
- new interactive topography plotting functions (click to zoom) with  
ERP images among others  
- support of fif.gz files to store GZip compressed files  
- new logging system that allows to store printed messages in text files  
- resampling of raw data  
- save epochs in fif files  
- handle multiple conditions in Epochs  
- time-frequency (TF) MxNE inverse method  
- exporters to other python data analysis libraries, i.e., pandas and nitime  
- etc.
