Version 1.4.1
Over the past two weeks since the 1.4 release, we have implemented
several important bug fixes and have made several usability
improvements.
New features:
- Improved help system. It is now possible to recursively list all the
applicable documentation for a composite object. In addition, the
documentation may now be filtered using a regular expression pattern.
(PR #370) - HoloViews now supports multiple active display hooks making it easier
to use nbconvert. For instance, PNG data will be embedded in the
notebook if the argument display_formats=['html','png'] is supplied to
the notebook_extension. (PR #355) - Improvements to the display of DynamicMaps (PR #367, #375) as well as
many new improvements to the Bokeh backend including better
VLines/HLines (PR #362) and support for the Bars element (PR #339). - New Spikes and BoxWhisker elements suitable for representing
distributions as a sequence of lines or as a box-and-whisker plot. (PR
#346, #339) - Improvements to the notebook_extension. For instance, executing
hv.notebook_extension('bokeh') will now load BokehJS and automatically
activate the Bokeh backend (if available). - Significant performance improvement when using the groupby operation
on HoloMaps and when working with highly nested datastructures.
(PR #349, #359)
