Version 1.11.1

on GitHub

(including changes in 1.11.0; 1.11.1 adds only a minor change to fix param.List(None).)

Version 1.11 contains entirely new documentation, plus various enhancements and bugfixess. Thanks to James A. Bednar for the documentation, Philipp Rudiger for the website setup and for many of the other fixes and improvements below, and others as noted below.

Documentation:

• Brand-new website, with getting started, user manual, reference manual, and more! Some user guide sections are still under construction. (#428,#464,#479,#483,#501,#502,#503,#504)
• New intro video with examples/Promo.ipynb notebook, thanks to Marc Skov Madsen and Egbert Ammicht (#488)
• Sort docstring by definition order and precedence, thanks to Andrew Huang (#445)

Enhancements:

• Allow printing representations for recursively nested Parameterized objects (#499)
• Allow named colors for param.Color (#472)
• Allow FileSelector and MultiFileSelector to accept initial values (#497)
• Add Step slot to Range, thanks to Simon Hansen (#467)
• Update FileSelector and MultiFileSelector parameters when setting path (#476)
• Improved error messages (#475)

Bug Fixes:

• Fix Path to allow folders, as documented but previously not supported (#495)
• Fix previously unimplemented Parameter._on_set (#484)
• Fix Python2 IPython output parameter precedence (#477)
• Fix allow_None for param.Series and param.DataFrame (#473)
• Fix behavior when both instantiate and constant are True (#474)
• Fix for versioning when param is inside a separate git-controlled repo (port of fix from autover/pull/67) (#469)

Compatibility:

• Swapped ObjectSelector and Selector in the inheritance hierarchy, to allow ObjectSelector to be deprecated. (#497)
• Now get_soft_boundssilently crops softbounds to any hard bounds supplied ; previously soft bounds would be returned even if they were outside the hard bounds (#498)
• Rename class_ to item_type in List parameter, to avoid clashing semantics with ClassSelector and others with a class_ slot. class_ is still accepted as a keyword but is stored in item_type. (#456)
