Version 2.4.2

We are very excited to release this new version of BrainPy V2.4.2. In this new update, we cover several exciting features:

New Features

• Reorganize the model to decouple dynamics and communication.
• Add brainpy.dyn for dynamics models and brainpy.dnn for the ANN layer and connection structures.
• Supplement many docs for dedicated operators and common bugs of BrainPy.
• Fix many bugs.
