Connectionists: Release of NEST 2.10.0

[Jochen Martin Eppler]

Dear NEST users,

we're happy to bring you NEST 2.10.0, which contains 303 repository
commits by 25 developers since v2.8.0. The most notable changes over
v2.8.0 are:

  * Support for simulations of gap junctions (see Jan Hahne et al., 2015)
  * Framework for structural plasticity (see Markus Butz et al., 2013
and Markus Butz et al., 2014)
  * Full support for the K computer (just in case you found one under
your Christmas tree ;-))

All users are encouraged to upgrade and adapt their simulation scripts
to the changes in the user interface at this point in time to benefit
from the improvements in the new version.

For a full list of changes and download links, see

Best regards and a happy new year,
Jochen!
