BIDS Validator 2.0

We are pleased to announce the release of version 2.0 of the BIDS Validator.

In the last few months, you may have noticed changes to the validator available at https://bids-standard.github.io/bids-validator/, including the look and feel of the validator, the errors and warnings that are produced by the validator, and a link to a "legacy validator". In this blog post, we'll explain what all this means and how to use the new validator.
