BIDSPath now supports the new "sessions" suffix, by Jonathan Vanhoecke and Richard Höchenberger (#1137)
The rm() method will safely delete all the files compatible with that path and update the scans.tsv and participants.tsv files accordingly, by Pierre Guetschel and Adam Li (#1149)

When writing events, we now also create an *_events.json file in addition to *_events.tsv. This ensures compatibility with the upcoming release of BIDS 1.9, by Richard Höchenberger (#1132)
We silenced warnings about missing events.tsv files when reading empty-room or resting-state data, by Richard Höchenberger (#1133)
BTi ‘processed data files’ (pdf) will no longer be renamed to c,rf* by default. Instead, they will be copied over without name changes. When reading BTi data via mne-bids, more informative log and error messages will help choosing the right course of action, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1160)

Amending a dataset now works in cases where the newly-written data contains additional participant properties (new columns in participants.tsv) not found in the existing dataset, by Richard Höchenberger (#1113)
Fix raw_to_bids CLI tool to properly recognize boolean and numeric values for the line_freq and overwrite parameters, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1125)

Improve compatibility with latest MNE-Python, by Eric Larson (#1128)
Working with BIDSPath would sometimes inadvertently create new directories, contaminating the BIDS dataset, by Richard Höchenberger (#1139)
Fix thrown error if the BIDSVersion defined in dataset_description.json file does not match the MNE-BIDS compliant BIDSVersion, ensuring backwards compatibility across BIDS complient tools, by Ford McDonald (#1147)
Copying BTi files without a headshape file will no longer raise an error, the file will simply be copied, and the missing headshape file will be ignored, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1158)
