.. _whatsnew_0152:
v0.15.2 (December 12, 2014)
---------------------------
This is a minor release from 0.15.1 and includes a large number of bug fixes
along with several new features, enhancements, and performance improvements.
A small number of API changes were necessary to fix existing bugs.
We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.
- :ref:`Enhancements <whatsnew_0152.enhancements>`
- :ref:`API Changes <whatsnew_0152.api>`
- :ref:`Performance Improvements <whatsnew_0152.performance>`
- :ref:`Bug Fixes <whatsnew_0152.bug_fixes>`
.. _whatsnew_0152.api:
API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Indexing in ``MultiIndex`` beyond lex-sort depth is now supported, though
a lexically sorted index will have a better performance. (:issue:`2646`)
.. ipython:: python
:okwarning:
df = pd.DataFrame({'jim':[0, 0, 1, 1],
'joe':['x', 'x', 'z', 'y'],
'jolie':np.random.rand(4)}).set_index(['jim', 'joe'])
df
df.index.lexsort_depth
# in prior versions this would raise a KeyError
# will now show a PerformanceWarning
df.loc[(1, 'z')]
# lexically sorting
df2 = df.sort_index()
df2
df2.index.lexsort_depth
df2.loc[(1,'z')]
- Bug in unique of Series with ``category`` dtype, which returned all categories regardless
whether they were "used" or not (see :issue:`8559` for the discussion).
Previous behaviour was to return all categories:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [3]: cat = pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'a'], categories=['a', 'b', 'c'])
In [4]: cat
Out[4]:
[a, b, a]
Categories (3, object): [a < b < c]
In [5]: cat.unique()
Out[5]: array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype=object)
Now, only the categories that do effectively occur in the array are returned:
.. ipython:: python
cat = pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'a'], categories=['a', 'b', 'c'])
cat.unique()
- ``Series.all`` and ``Series.any`` now support the ``level`` and ``skipna`` parameters. ``Series.all``, ``Series.any``, ``Index.all``, and ``Index.any`` no longer support the ``out`` and ``keepdims`` parameters, which existed for compatibility with ndarray. Various index types no longer support the ``all`` and ``any`` aggregation functions and will now raise ``TypeError``. (:issue:`8302`).
- Allow equality comparisons of Series with a categorical dtype and object dtype; previously these would raise ``TypeError`` (:issue:`8938`)
- Bug in ``NDFrame``: conflicting attribute/column names now behave consistently between getting and setting. Previously, when both a column and attribute named ``y`` existed, ``data.y`` would return the attribute, while ``data.y = z`` would update the column (:issue:`8994`)
.. ipython:: python
data = pd.DataFrame({'x':[1, 2, 3]})
data.y = 2
data['y'] = [2, 4, 6]
data
# this assignment was inconsistent
data.y = 5
Old behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [6]: data.y
Out[6]: 2
In [7]: data['y'].values
Out[7]: array([5, 5, 5])
New behavior:
.. ipython:: python
data.y
data['y'].values
- ``Timestamp('now')`` is now equivalent to ``Timestamp.now()`` in that it returns the local time rather than UTC. Also, ``Timestamp('today')`` is now equivalent to ``Timestamp.today()`` and both have ``tz`` as a possible argument. (:issue:`9000`)
- Fix negative step support for label-based slices (:issue:`8753`)
Old behavior:
.. code-block:: ipython
In [1]: s = pd.Series(np.arange(3), ['a', 'b', 'c'])
Out[1]:
a 0
b 1
c 2
dtype: int64
In [2]: s.loc['c':'a':-1]
Out[2]:
c 2
dtype: int64
New behavior:
.. ipython:: python
s = pd.Series(np.arange(3), ['a', 'b', 'c'])
s.loc['c':'a':-1]
.. _whatsnew_0152.enhancements:
Enhancements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
``Categorical`` enhancements:
- Added ability to export Categorical data to Stata (:issue:`8633`). See :ref:`here <io.stata-categorical>` for limitations of categorical variables exported to Stata data files.
- Added flag ``order_categoricals`` to ``StataReader`` and ``read_stata`` to select whether to order imported categorical data (:issue:`8836`). See :ref:`here <io.stata-categorical>` for more information on importing categorical variables from Stata data files.
- Added ability to export Categorical data to to/from HDF5 (:issue:`7621`). Queries work the same as if it was an object array. However, the ``category`` dtyped data is stored in a more efficient manner. See :ref:`here <io.hdf5-categorical>` for an example and caveats w.r.t. prior versions of pandas.
- Added support for ``searchsorted()`` on `Categorical` class (:issue:`8420`).
Other enhancements:
- Added the ability to specify the SQL type of columns when writing a DataFrame
to a database (:issue:`8778`).
For example, specifying to use the sqlalchemy ``String`` type instead of the
default ``Text`` type for string columns:
.. code-block:: python
from sqlalchemy.types import String
data.to_sql('data_dtype', engine, dtype={'Col_1': String})
- ``Series.all`` and ``Series.any`` now support the ``level`` and ``skipna`` parameters (:issue:`8302`):
.. ipython:: python
s = pd.Series([False, True, False], index=[0, 0, 1])
s.any(level=0)
- ``Panel`` now supports the ``all`` and ``any`` aggregation functions. (:issue:`8302`):
.. ipython:: python
p = pd.Panel(np.random.rand(2, 5, 4) > 0.1)
p.all()
- Added support for ``utcfromtimestamp()``, ``fromtimestamp()``, and ``combine()`` on `Timestamp` class (:issue:`5351`).
- Added Google Analytics (`pandas.io.ga`) basic documentation (:issue:`8835`). See `here <http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/version/0.15.2/remote_data.html#remote-data-ga>`__.
- ``Timedelta`` arithmetic returns ``NotImplemented`` in unknown cases, allowing extensions by custom classes (:issue:`8813`).
- ``Timedelta`` now supports arithemtic with ``numpy.ndarray`` objects of the appropriate dtype (numpy 1.8 or newer only) (:issue:`8884`).
- Added ``Timedelta.to_timedelta64()`` method to the public API (:issue:`8884`).
- Added ``gbq.generate_bq_schema()`` function to the gbq module (:issue:`8325`).
- ``Series`` now works with map objects the same way as generators (:issue:`8909`).
- Added context manager to ``HDFStore`` for automatic closing (:issue:`8791`).
- ``to_datetime`` gains an ``exact`` keyword to allow for a format to not require an exact match for a provided format string (if its ``False``). ``exact`` defaults to ``True`` (meaning that exact matching is still the default) (:issue:`8904`)
- Added ``axvlines`` boolean option to parallel_coordinates plot function, determines whether vertical lines will be printed, default is True
- Added ability to read table footers to read_html (:issue:`8552`)
- ``to_sql`` now infers datatypes of non-NA values for columns that contain NA values and have dtype ``object`` (:issue:`8778`).
.. _whatsnew_0152.performance:
Performance
~~~~~~~~~~~
- Reduce memory usage when skiprows is an integer in read_csv (:issue:`8681`)
- Performance boost for ``to_datetime`` conversions with a passed ``format=``, and the ``exact=False`` (:issue:`8904`)
.. _whatsnew_0152.bug_fixes:
