v2.2.2

NEST 2.2.2 is a bugfix releas that contains fixes to the kernel, SLI, build system and other areas.

New models and devices:

• iaf_psc_alpha_multisynapse
• iaf_psc_exp_multisynapse
• mcculloch_pitts_neuron
• ginzburg_neuron
• spin_detector
• sinusoidal_gamma_generator

Updated models and devices:

• smp_generator is replaced by sinusoidal_poisson_generator, which sends an individual spike train to each of its targets by default; be wary when updating your code! In order to replicate the old behavior of the smp_generator (all targets receive the same spike train), set /individual_spike_trains to false on the sinusoidal_poisson_generator model before creating a generator node.
• iaf_psc_alpha: bugfixes
• stdp_dopamine_synapse: bugfixes

PyNEST:

• fixes to the DataConnect interface

Topology:

• more efficient GetTargetNodes implementation
• lognormal distribution for parameter values
