We have released NetPyNE version 0.9.7, which includes some major improvements:

- All analyses functions can now generate interactive HTML plots (via Bokeh package)
- Online documentation and tutorials have been updated and expanded (see http://www.netpyne.org/)
- Simplified cell type specification to facilitate model building
- New parameter optimization methods: Adaptive Stochastic Descent and Optuna (see examples)

See github.com/Neurosim-lab/netpyne/blob/v0.9.7/CHANGES.md for a complete list of improvements.
See netpyne.org/install.html for instructions on installation or updating.

Additionally, we have released our new NetPyNE GUI (see fig below) with a more intuitive interface, better performance and new features. Try out the new NetPyNE GUI without installing any software at: netpyne.org/gui
