crYOLO 1.4.1:

• Downgrade the dependencies to tensorflow 1.10.1 and numpy 1.14.5 as some users reported long initialization times. (Thanks to Shaun Rawson)
• The initialization weights are not longer shipped with the package and downloaded on-the-fly (because they are big and pypi does not allow such big packages)
• crYOLO is installed through pypi
• crYOLO box manager is installed through pypi and automatically shipped with the crYOLO package
• Fixed fine-tune mode (Thanks to Antoine Koehl)
• Fixed normalization function for YOLO backend (Thanks to Wolfgang Lugmayr)

crYOLO 1.4.0:

• Support Just Another Noise 2 Noise Implemnentation (JANNI)
• Add –mask_width as optional parameter for the filament mode
• Update tensorflow from 1.10.1 to 1.12.3 to make crYOLO compatible with JANNI
• Update numpy from 1.14.5 to 1.15.4 to make crYOLO compatible with JANNI

crYOLO 1.3.6:

• Changed filament search radius factor from 0.8 to 1.41 (this fixed issue 21)
• Add search radius factor as advanced parameter (-sr) during prediction in filament mode
• Improved error message in case of corrupted config file
• Fixed issue 22: If absolute paths are used in the field “train_image” in your configuration file, filtering is skipped.

crYOLO 1.3.5:

• Fixed issue 20: During training the images are normalized separately, but during prediction is done batch wise. The lead to confusing results: some micrographs were perfectly picked, some totally unreasonable, even with the same defocus. This bug only affects the picking, already trained models can still be used.
• Remove unnecessary dependencies
• Add __version__ to __init__.py for easy access to package version.

crYOLO 1.3.4:

• Support for SPHIRE 1.2
• Changed the minimum threshold for cbox files from 0.01 to 0.1. Much faster in many cases but still low enough. If -t is lower than 0.1, the new threshold is used as minimum.
• Installation now checks if python 3 is used.
• Fix issue 19: Filtering does not work if target image directory is absolute path.
• Fix crash when --otf was specified but filtering was not specified in the config file

crYOLO 1.3.3:

• Fix issue 18: Prediction is broken in 1.3.2. It removes all particles as it claim they are not fully immersed in the image.

crYOLO 1.3.2:

• Speedup prediction: Vectorized some parts of the code and optimized the creation of the cbox files. 30% speed up picking / 15% faster training compared to 1.3.1/1.3.0.
• Bug fix in merging of filaments that sometimes throw “IndexError: list index out of range”. (Thanks to Alexander Belyy)
• Fix in cryolo_evaluation: If the validation data is specified with -b instead of runfiles, all datasets with only one box file were ignored.
• Change library requirement to PILLOW version 6.0.0
• Fix issue 16: --gpu_fraction only works for prediction, not for training.

crYOLO 1.3.1:

• Fix Issue 15: -g was ignored when –gpu_fraction was used.

crYOLO 1.3.0:

• Fine tune the general network to your data using the new fine tune option with --fine_tune (https://1n.pm/x8rUH)
• One-the-fly micrograph filtering during particle picking with --otf (don't double your dataset during picking)(https://1n.pm/goXAa)
• Interactive threshold adjustment after prediction using the new cbox-files and the crYOLO boxmanager 1.2 (https://1n.pm/k7HoI)
• Pick only fully immersed particles (Issue 13)
• Improved filament mode
  • Rewrote tracing
  • Rewrote and speed up merging of filaments
  • Fixed parallelisation of the filament mode (Issue 14)
• Add tifffile as dependency, as imageio throws a lot of warning for some tif files.
• Add conversion for uint16 images, as pillow cannot work with them.
• Add option --skip_augmentation to deactivate augmentation during training (Thanks to Tijmen de Wolf). (https://1n.pm/goXAa)
• Add option --num_cpu to specify the number of CPUs used during training and during prediction. (Thanks to Nikolaus Dietz) (https://1n.pm/goXAa)
• Add option to limit the amount of GPU memory reserved by crYOLO with --gpu_fraction (Thanks to Nikolaus Dietz) (https://1n.pm/goXAa)
• Save anchor size in model every time you write a new model during training (not only at the end)
• In case of using --min_distance, only the particle with lower confidence is removed (Thanks to Yilai Li)

crYOLO Version 1.2.3:

• crYOLO now saves the anchors which were used during training inside the .h5 file and takes care that the correct anchors are used during prediction.
• LineEnhancer dependency is now installed via PyPi, as –follow-dependency-links is removed in pip 19.
• Fix Issue 9: Removed zignor dependency as it leads to problems for some users (Thanks to Jason Kaelber)
• Attempt to fix Issue 10: Removed opencv dependency which was connected to this problem (Thanks to Shaun Rawson)
• Fix issue 11: crYOLO uses now GPU 0 by default if not specified otherwise (e.g. by CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES)

crYOLO Version 1.2.2:

• Added the PhosaurusNet to the crYOLO backend, which makes the patch mode needless for picking single particles.
• crYOLO now outputs separate folders for EMAN box files and STAR files.
• When picking filaments it will now additionally output EMAN Start-End and STAR Start-End coordinates (Thanks to Jesse M. Hansen).
• Fix Issue 4: The filament mode will crash if crYOLO cannot identify a single particle in the image.
• Fix Issue 5: If movies were aligned with cisTEM and picked with crYOLO, the box positions were vertically flipped. (Thanks to Wei-Chun Kao)
• Fix Issue 6: crYOLO overwrote the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES variable if the -g parameter is not passed. (Thanks to Shaun Rawson)
• Fix Issue 7: crYOLO introduces a shift for non square images proportional to the aspect ratio. (Thanks to Shaun Rawson)
• Fix Issue 8: crYOLO sometimes connects two parallel filaments. The filament tracing was optimized and seems now working properly.
• Fix a severe bug in filament tracing. Curved filaments splitted by crYOLO in more straight sub pieces. However, during the division, one half of the splitted filament was lost. (Thanks to Sabrina Pospich)
• Added a wiki entry about the networks which are supported by crYOLO
• Added a wiki entry about the crYOLO configuration file
• Added a wiki entry how to import crYOLO filament coordinates (from the ''EMAN_HELIX_SEGMENTED'' folder) into Relion.

crYOLO Version 1.2.1:

• Fix Issue 2: Tiff files are now written as 32 bit when internal filtering is used.
• cryolo_evaluation now additionally estimates the optimal threshold based on the F2 score, which puts more weight on recall than on precision
• File ending of filament box files is now .box instead of .txt (Thanks to Jesse M. Hansen)

crYOLO Version 1.2.0:

• Switch to Python3 (Please use a fresh environment!)
• (Hopefully) fixed that crYOLO sometimes freezes during/after training (hard to reproduce, so I'm not 100% sure if it is fixed.)
• Fix that training with multiple GPUs did not speed up small datasets
• Low-pass filtering is now integrated into crYOLO
• Fix two bugs in cryolo_evaluation that lead to an underestimation the performance parameters

• Bug fixed which leads to a crash if no particles are picked on the first micrograph (Thanks to Björn Klink).

crYOLO Version 1.1.2:

• STAR files could now used for training. However, as they don't contain size information the size specified in the anchors in the config.json is used.
• Slightly improved speed of the filament-mode
• Fixed another bug running filament mode on non-square images (Thanks to Gregory Alushin)

crYOLO Version 1.1.1:
