+## Version `1.9.0` { data-toc-label="1.9.0" }
+_Date: 17/10/24_
+
+This version brings a shiny new interface to the [H01 human cortex](https://h01-release.storage.googleapis.com/landing.html) dataset
+and various other quality of life improvements.
+
+##### Breaking
+- The default for `radius` ([`navis.plot2d`][] and [`navis.plot3d`][]) was changed to `False` (from `"auto"`) to avoid running into issues
+  when visualizing large numbers of skeletons while using the defaults
+
+##### Additions
+- New interface to the [H01](https://h01-release.storage.googleapis.com/landing.html) dataset by Jinhan Choi and Jakob Troidl (Lichtman lab); see the new tutorial for details
+
+##### Improvements
+- I/O:
+   - [`read_nrrd`][navis.read_nrrd], [`read_tiff`][navis.read_tiff] and [`read_mesh`][navis.read_mesh] now use the same backend as e.g. [`read_swc`][navis.read_swc] which enables some niceties such as reading directly from URLs and archives, parallel processing, etc
+  - all `read_*` functions now have an `error` parameter that can be used to skip errors
+- Image data:
+  - new function: [`navis.thin_voxels`][] can be used to thin images and `VoxelNeurons` to single-pixel width (see also below)
+  - new `thin` parameter for [`read_nrrd`][navis.read_nrrd], [`read_tiff`][navis.read_tiff]
+- [`TreeNeurons`][navis.TreeNeuron]:
+  - skeletons can now be initialized from a `(vertices, edges)` tuple (see also [`navis.edges2neuron`])
+  - new property: `TreeNeuron.vertices` gives read-only to node (vertex) coordinates
+- [`VoxelNeurons`][navis.VoxelNeuron]:
+  - New properties: `VoxelNeuron.nnz` and `VoxelNeuron.density`
+- [`navis.drop_fluff`][] and [`navis.neuron2nx`][] now also works with [`Dotprops`][navis.Dotprops]
+
+**Full Changelog**: [v1.8.0...v1.9.0](https://github.com/navis-org/navis/compare/v1.8.0...v1.9.0)
+
+##### Experimental
+- setting `navis.config.add_units=True` (default is `False`) will add units to certain neuron properties such as `.cable_length` to make them human-readable
+
