SPORE version 2.12.0

This is the first release version of SPORE.

Features

• SPORE introduces a new class of synapse models for NEST that is guaranteed to be updated on a regular time grid.
• It introduces a new class of NEST nodes that can store a history of a pice-wise constant real-valued time series (e.g. the membrane potential) for a fixed time window, which can be read out in the synapses.
• It introduces a MUSIC proxy that allows to receive traces from a MUSIC port.
• It introduces a mechanism that allows to erase synapses that become non-functional.
• It introduces a first synapse and neuron model that uses these mechanism for reward-based plasticity and rewiring.

A detailed description can be found in the SPORE class reference.
