New release v2.0

[sheiksadique]

Here is a checklist of things to be done before the release.

• [x] Check documentation and notebooks are understandable @MinaKh
• [x] Check integration with Exodus @bauerfe
• [x] Remove redundant files in documentation
• [x] Refractor tutorials and unify in the toc-tree for hardware and simulations
• [x] Make it clear in README and docs that a development (-e) install will not work with EXODUS
• [x] Sinabs-dynapcnn "empty" requirements release with appropriate version requirement to sinabs

[bauerfe]

I just added a task that we should point out clearly that a development install will not work with exodus. Thanks for spotting this @MinaKh

[bauerfe]

Ticking off the points about Exodus (everything still works) and about refactoring of unit tests (addressed by #221 )

• In

  https://github.com/synsense/sinabs/blob/develop/docs/speck/faqs/tips_for_training.md is mentioned that we need to clip weights to the threshold value, as the async chip is designed to emit only 1 spike per dt etc...this is clear but at the end of page it is stated:

  You'd better choose "Multi-Spike" instead of "Single-Spike" due to the nature of our hardware as demonstrated in the chapter above. Am I missing something? Do we even have Multi-Spike choice?

• "Multi-Spike" is suggested here too with little explanation. Can we Link/clarify these 2 pages ?https://github.com/synsense/sinabs/blob/develop/docs/speck/dangers.md

[bauerfe]

Hi @MinaKh , thanks for spotting these. I think I fixed all the broken links now (on develop). Would you mind double-checking?

I also added better explanation about MultiSpike in the section you mention. Is it clearer now?

@sheiksadique : I ticked off the point about removing redundant files in the docs. If I'm correct, this referred to the README.rst files that sphinx complains about while making the html, right? It turns out it still needs these files to generate the gallery.

• [x] several of embedded images in faq and notebooks folders are broken. @bauerfe can you please check them too?
• [x] here https://github.com/synsense/sinabs/blob/develop/docs/speck/overview.md in Leak operation section there is a missing ToDO: [tutorial on how to use leak feature]

Thanks @bauerfe sounds good now :)

This was due to rendering of pages in GitHub and the problem is not see in the rendered sphinx pages. Marking as resolved.

Moved two of the tasks to new issues (#229 , #230)
