API

• The pick_normal parameter for minimum norm solvers has been renamed as pick_ori and normal orientation picking is now achieved by passing the value "normal" for the pick_ori parameter.
• ICA objects now expose the measurement info of the object fitted.
• Average EEG reference is now added by default to Raw instances.
• Removed deprecated read/write_stc/w, use SourceEstimate methods instead
• The chs argument in mne.layouts.find_layout is deprecated and will be removed in MNE-Python 0.9. Use info instead.
• plot_evoked and Epochs.plot now open a new figure by default. To plot on an existing figure please specify the axes parameter.
