This release fixes a number of small bugs and improves our release infrastructure. In addition, it includes an important performance improvement for random number generation in C++ standalone mode, which significantly speeds up everything that needs randomness (e.g. PoissonGroup). It also comes with the Diehl &amp;amp; Cook (2015) model in the documentation, contributed by Björn Lindqvist (thanks!).&lt;/p&gt;

We now also automatically push Docker images to &lt;a href="https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/briansimulator/brian/general"&gt;Docker Hub&lt;/a&gt;, provide Python wheels for Python 3.12, and build and test on Apple Silicon hardware. The release also fixes various compatibility issues with the upcoming numpy 2.0 release – although we cannot be sure yet whether the ongoing development will not make additional changes neccessary. As always, the new release also fixes a bunch of small bugs and errors, and updates the documentation and the examples.&lt;/p&gt;

This release comes with a large number of bug fixes, various small improvements to the C++ code generation process, new examples and improved documentation, as well as a more powerful “generator syntax” for synapse generation. In particular, it is now possible to generate a fixed number of synapses randomly – either for each pre-synaptic or for each post-synaptic cell. We have also updated our build and testing infrastructure, and now provide binary pip-installable packages for all platforms, including the fancy new Apple hardware.

+<p>This article starts a new series of blog posts about “bug hunts”. In these articles, I will go through a recent bug in Brian (or one of its dependencies) and describe all the steps I used to find the source of the bug and how I fixed it. I will try to not only focus on the Brian-side of things, but also show some general tools like <code>git bisect</code> or “monkey patching” that can be helpful to find the source of these nasty critters (no actual bugs were harmed during the making of this blog post).</p>
+<p>Let’s start! Today’s bug will be about equations, and more specifically about their LaTeX representation. As most of you probably know, Brian can represent equations, quantities, etc. in LaTeX. This representation can then either be included in a LaTeX document or directly rendered for example as the output in <a href="https://jupyter.org/">jupyter notebooks</a>.</p>
