We are excited to announce the release of [**HDMF-Zarr 0.14.0**](https://github.com/hdmf-dev/hdmf-zarr/releases/tag/0.14.0), a major update to the HDMF Zarr backend for storing Hierarchical Data Modeling Framework (HDMF) and Neurodata Without Borders (NWB) data using [Zarr](https://zarr.dev/).

This release marks a major transition for HDMF-Zarr: the primary `ZarrIO` and `NWBZarrIO` classes now write and read the new **Zarr v3** format exclusively using `zarr-python` v3. HDMF-Zarr 0.14.0 also adopts the unified Zarr v3 storage convention developed in collaboration with [Zindi](https://github.com/zarr-developers/zindi) and [LINDI](https://github.com/magland/lindi), improving interoperability across tools that work with cloud-native NWB data. With the transition to Zarr v3, `ZarrDataIO` has been updated to align with the new Zarr v3 codec API, and now supports dataset sharding for improved performance on large datasets.

Looks like the linkchecker is set up to never fail because of pre-existing dead links in archived event pages. I'll make a PR to fix that.
