Release 1.0.0

Most work on NiBabel so far has been by Matthew Brettt (MB) and Michael Hanke
(MH).

* 1.0.0 (Thursday, 13, Oct 2010)

  * This is the first public release of the NiBabel package.
  * NiBabel is a complete rewrite of the PyNifti package in pure python.  It was
    designed to make the code simpler and easier to work with. Like PyNifti,
    NiBabel has fairly comprehensive NIfTI read and write support.
  * Extended support for SPM Analyze images, including orientation affines from
    matlab ``.mat`` files.
  * Basic support for simple MINC 1.0 files (MB).  Please let us know if you
    have MINC files that we don't support well.
  * Support for reading and writing PAR/REC images (MH)
  * ``parrec2nii`` script to convert PAR/REC images to NIfTI format (MH)
  * Very preliminary, limited and highly experimental DICOM reading support (MB,
    Ian Nimmo Smith).
  * Some functions (`nibabel.funcs`) for basic image shape changes, including
    the ability to transform to the image with data closest to the cononical
    image orientation (first axis left-to-right, second back-to-front, third
    down-to-up) (MB, Jonathan Taylor)
  * Gifti format read and write support (preliminary) (Stephen Gerhard)
  * Added utilities to use nipy-style data packages, by rip then edit of nipy
    data package code (MB)
  * Some improvements to release support (Jarrod Millman, MB, Fernando Perez)
  * Huge downward step in the quality and coverage by the docs, caused by MB,
    mostly fixed by a lot of good work by MH.
  * NiBabel will not work with Python < 2.5, and we haven't even tested it with
    Python 3.  We will get to it soon...
