Neo 0.5.1 release notes

4th May 2017

• Fixes to AxonIO (thanks to @erikli and @cjfraz) and NeuroExplorerIO (thanks to Mark Hollenbeck)
• Fixes to pickling of Epoch and Event objects (thanks to Hélissande Fragnaud)
• Added methods as_array() and as_quantity() to Neo data objects to simplify the common tasks of turning a Neo data object back into a plain Numpy array
• Added NeuralynxIO, which reads standard Neuralynx output files in ncs, nev, nse and ntt format (thanks to Julia Sprenger and Carlos Canova).
• Added the extras_require field to setup.py, to clearly document the requirements for different io modules. For example, this allows you to run pip install neo[neomatlabio] and have the extra dependency needed for the neomatlabio module (scipy in this case) be automatically installed.
• Fixed a bug where slicing an AnalogSignal did not modify the linked ChannelIndex.
