scikit-hep/boost-histogram v0.7.0

Version 0.7.0

on GitHub

This version removes deprecated functionality, and has several backend
improvements. The most noticeable user-facing change is the multithreaded fill
feature, which can enable significant speedups when you have a dataset that is
much larger than the number of bins in your histogram and have free cores to
use. Several small bugs have been fixed.
