2020/08/05
- Fixes a performance regression in network.get_node_ids()
2020/07/28
- Adds support for calculating shortest path distances between arbitrary origins and destinations, with vectorization and multi-threading
- Restores alternate names for aggregation types, which were inadvertently removed in v0.4
- Fixes a bug with matplotlib backends
- Improves compilation in MacOS 10.15 Catalina

2019/9/4
- Restores support for pre-C++11 compilers.
2019/8/28
- Improved compiler support.
2019/8/8
- Speed of network aggregations is improved.
- Support for aggregating integer values is restored.
- Thread count and contraction hierarchy status messages are restored.
- Code written for v0.3 will continue to run, now raising deprecation warnings instead of errors.
- Compilation improvements for Mac.
2018/7/30
- Documentation fixes.
- Replaced uses of std::map::at() since it's not supported in pre-C++11 compilers.
- Replaced initialization lists due to the same reason as above.
2017/6/27
- Major rewrite of the layer between Python and C++, which was previously written using the numpy C++ API, and now is written in cython.
- The C++ that remains has been cleaned up a bit and formatted.
- The major functionality change is that global memory is no longer used, so reserve_num_graphs no longer needs to be called and Network objects can be created and destroyed at the user's pleasure.
- The change in global memory made the calls to init_pois no longer necessary. Then, that method has been removed and the max_items and max_distance parameters were relocated in the set_pois call.
- The nearest neighbor queries are now resolved with Scipy instead of libANN. That removed additional global memory.
2017/4/5
- Python 3 compatibility.
- The “network.nearest_pois()” method can now return the labels of the pois rather than just the distances
- OSM data loading is now done via the osmnet package.
- Changes to support multiple graphs.
- Added reindex functions.
- Updated documentation.
- Switched code style checker in Travis CI to “pycodestyle”, which has replaced the “pep8” package.
