Including a description for onset and duration in the events.json file, by Julius Welzel (#1255)

The experimental support for running MNE-BIDS examples from your browser using Binder has been removed, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1202)
MNE-BIDS will no longer zero-pad (“zfill”) entity indices passed to BIDSPath. For example, If run=1 is passed to MNE-BIDS, it will no longer be silently auto-converted to run-01, by Alex Rockhill (#1215)
MNE-BIDS will no longer warn about missing leading punctuation marks for extensions passed BIDSPath. For example, MNE-BIDS will now silently auto-convert edf to `.edf, by Alex Rockhill (#1215)
MNE-BIDS will no longer error during write_raw_bids if there are BAD_ACQ_SKIP annotations in the raw file and no corresponding key in event_id. Instead, it will automatically add the necessary key and assign an unused integer event code to it. By Daniel McCloy (#1258)

MNE-BIDS now requires Python 3.9 or higher.
MNE-BIDS now requires MNE-Python 1.5.0 or higher.
edfio replaces EDFlib-Python for export to EDF with MNE-Python >= 1.7.0.
Installing mne-bids[full] will now also install defusedxml on all platforms.
Version requirements for optional dependency packages have been bumped up, see installation instructions.

The datatype in the dataframe returned by mne_bids.stats.count_events() is now pandas.Int64Dtype instead of float64, by Eric Larson (#1227)
The mne_bids.copyfiles.copyfile_ctf() now accounts for files with .{integer}_meg4 extension, instead of only .meg4, when renaming the files of a .ds folder, by Mara Wolter (#1230)
We fixed handling of time zones when reading *_scans.tsv files; specifically, non-UTC timestamps are now processed correctly, by Stefan Appelhoff and Richard Höchenberger (#1240)

The configuration of MNE-BIDS has been consolidated from several files (e.g., setup.cfg, setup.py, requirements.txt) and is now specified in a standard pyproject.toml file, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1202)
Linting and code formatting is now done entirely using ruff. Previously used tools (e.g., flake8, black) have been fully replaced, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1203)
The package build backend has been switched from setuptools to hatchling. This only affects users who build and install MNE-BIDS from source, and should not lead to changed runtime behavior, by Richard Höchenberger (#1204)
Display of the version number on the website is now truncated for over-long version strings, by Daniel McCloy (#1206)
The long deprecated events_data parameter has been fully removed from write_raw_bids() in favor of events, by Stefan Appelhoff (#1229)
