We are happy to announce the Brian 2.9 release. This release extends the functionality of Brian’s linked variable feature (in particular, it can now be used to refer to a global modulation term in Synapses), and adds a “graceful interrupt” feature, allowing users to interrupt a simulation with Ctrl+C without triggering the usual Exception. As usual, the release also fixes a number of bugs and incompatibilities and comes with new examples in its documentation.

For more details, head over to the release notes.

Brian 2 can be installed with pip from the pypi repository, and via several other means (some of them might take a while to catch up to the latest release). See the installation instructions, and the badges in the README file for more details.

Thanks to everyone who contributed 🤝!
