[Pkg-exppsy-pymvpa-dev] little summary of API changes in 0.5.x

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

We have passed a set of radical API changes and refactorings.  Largest
ones are 

 * deprecated Dataset-derived classes in favor of factory methods
   creating a Dataset with a chain of mappers and .a's . Methods such as
   map2nifti became just functions (for now?)
 * labels -> targets, so they make sense for both classification and
   regression
 * states -> ca (conditional attributes)
 * deprecating camelcasing in method/function names (see
   tools/refactor_camel_case.sh if you want to adjust some additional
   code ;))
 * measures return not just a scalar or numpy array but a Dataset now
 * zscore, detrend -> zscore, poly_detrend fuctory methods
   creating and applying corresponding mappers
