New release of features that may still be in progress, but are already usable:
- Added graph/network plotting support (still may be in flux) (#385, #390, #398, #408, #415, #418, #436)
- Improved raster regridding based on gridtools and xarray (still may be in flux); no longer depends on rasterio and scikit-image (#383, #389, #423)
- Significantly improved performance for dataframes with categorical fields
New examples (.ipynb files in examples/):
- osm-1billion: 1-billion-point OSM example, for in-core processing on a 16GB laptop.
- edge_bundling: Plotting graphs using "edgehammer" bundling of edges to show structure.
- packet_capture_graph: Laying out and visualizing network packets as a graph.
Backwards compatibility:
- Remove deprecated interpolate and colorize functions
- Made raster processing consistently use bin centers to match xarray conventions (requires recent fixes to xarray; only available on a custom channel for now) (#422)
- Fixed various limitations and quirks for NaN values
- Made alpha scaling respect min_alpha consistently (#371)
Known issues:
- If you use Jupyter notebook 5.0 (earlier or later versions should be ok), you will need to override a setting that prevents visualizations from appearing, e.g.:
jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=100000000 census.ipynb & - The dashboard needs updating to match current Bokeh releases; most parts other than hover and legends, should be functional but it needs a rewrite to use currently recommended approaches.
