+========================
+Neo 0.13.1 release notes
+========================
+
+7th May 2024
+
+
+This release of Neo contains a lot of improvements to code quality and documentation,
+still with a focus on the planned 1.0 release,
+together with, as usual, bug fixes and performance improvements in IO modules.
+
+See all `pull requests`_ included in this release and the `list of closed issues`_.
+
+Code and documentation quality
+------------------------------
+
+Particular thanks go to Zach McKenzie, who has checked, and rewritten if necessary, every docstring in the project,
+to ensure they all have a consistent style.
+Zach has also updated and improved the :doc:`../examples/index` in the Sphinx documentation.
+
+The Neo code base contained a lot of ``assert``\s that should be exceptions.
+These have all been replaced with appropriate exceptions (again by Zach McKenzie).
+A new exception class, :class:`NeoReadWriteError` has been introduced.
+
+Bug fixes and improvements in IO modules
+----------------------------------------
+
+Bug fixes and/or improvements have been made to :class:`SpikeGLXIO`, :class:`OpenEphysIO`, :class:`SpikeGadgetsIO`,
+:class:`MaxwellIO`, :class:`AxonIO`, :class:`IntanIO`, :class:`TDTIO`, :class:`NeuralynxIO` and :class:`BlackrockIO`.
+
+
+Acknowledgements
+----------------
+
+Thanks to Zach McKenzie, Andrew Davison, Heberto Mayorquin, Alessio Buccino, Samuel Garcia, Peter N. Steinmetz,
+Aitor Morales-Gregorio, Greg Knoll, Chris Halcrow and Szonja Weigl for their contributions to this release.
