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)

Important bug fixes:

  • DynamicMaps are now properly integrated into the style system and can
    be customized in the same way as HoloMaps. (PR #368)
  • Widgets now work correctly when unicode is used in the dimension
    labels and values (PR #376).
