holoviews 1.17.0

Version 1.17.0

on Python PyPI

This release brings one of the most requested features - interactive twin-axis support! Another feature added in this release is the ability to easily set custom options on plot components with backend_opts, making it much easier to customize your plots. Datashaders where and summary aggregators are now supported, and rasterize now has a selector option, making it easy to get extra information about your rasterized data. Lastly, Bokeh figures with the same labels will synchronize muteness or visibility across different figures.

In addition, this release includes several enhancements and bug fixes.

Many thanks to the new contributors @alfredocarella and @RaulPL, as well as the returning contributors @ahuang11, @droumis, @jbednar, @jlstevens, @maximlt, @philippjfr, @TheoMathurin and @hoxbro.
