22.0.0 (May 3rd, 2022)

First official release after migrating the repository into the NiPreps’ organization. A major new feature is the rodent pipeline by Eilidh MacNicol (@eilidhmacnicol). A second major feature is the adoption of the updated carpet plots for BOLD fMRI, contributed by Céline Provins (@celprov). Virtual memory allocation has been ten-fold cut down, and a complementary resource monitor instrumentation is now available with MRIQC. This release updates the Docker image with up-to-date dependencies, updates MRIQC’s codebase to the latest NiTransforms and includes some minor bugfixes. The code, modules and data related to the MRIQC classifier have been extracted into an isolated package called [MRIQC-learn](https://github.com/nipreps/mriqc-learn). Finally, this release also contains a major code style overhaul by Zvi Baratz.

The contributor/author crediting system has been adapted to the current draft of the NiPreps Community Governance documents.

With thanks to @ZviBaratz, @nbeliy, @octomike, @benkay86, @verdurin, @leej3, @utooley, and @jAchtzehn for their contributions.
