Main Changes

The range of supported Python versions has changed; we now support (and test with) Python 3.8 – 3.11.
We have changed the software license from GPL v3 to Apache v2.
sPyNNaker8 is strongly deprecated; it was a transitional Python package while we migrated to PyNN 0.8, and now we only support later versions of PyNN. Use the code in the spynnaker.pyNN package instead.
We now provide support for neuromodulatory inputs (dopamine) in some models. Because of the numerical complexity involved, please contact us if you want to use this with any other neuromodulation inputs.
We now support some convolution connectors to some neuron models in order to efficiently support input from digital retinas.
