Major version

[normanrz]

We are aiming for the next major release of the webknossos and cluster_tools packages. Since, the cluster_tools already use 1.x packages, we should jump to 2.x directly.

TODO (tbd):

• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/pull/1231
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1127
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1174
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1197
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1178
• #1198
• [ ] With the 2.x release, remove some deprecated functionality
  • [ ] Remove WrappedProcessPoolExecutor
  • [ ] Remove test_pickling executor strategy
  • [ ] Remove debug_sequential executor strategy
• [ ] Make zarr3 the new default DataFormat
• [ ] Make compress=True the default in Layer.add_mag
• [ ] Remove deprecated arguments and methods from the Dataset, Layer, MagView etc. classes
• [ ] Disallow fork in cluster_tools

Can probably be deferred until zarr is default:

• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1080 (perhaps this is only VX issue)

Nice to have but not strictly required:

• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/804
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/1188
• https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos-libs/issues/834
