This release includes a small number of API changes, several new features, enhancements, and performance improvements along with a large number of bug fixes. This was 4 months of work by 60 authors encompassing 204 issues. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version. *Highlights:* - - *DataFrame.assign* method, see here - *Series.to_coo/from_coo* methods to interact with *scipy.sparse*, see here - Backwards incompatible change to *Timedelta* to conform the *.seconds* attribute with *datetime.timedelta*, see here - Changes to the *.loc* slicing API to conform with the behavior of *.ix= * see here - Changes to the default for ordering in the *Categorical* constructor, see here - Enhancement to the *.str* accessor to make string operations easier, see here - The *pandas.tools.rplot*, *pandas.sandbox.qtpandas* and *pandas.rpy* modules are deprecated. - We refer users to external packages like seaborn , pandas-qt and rpy2 for similar or equivalent functionality, see here for more detail See a full description of the Whatsnew for v0.16.0 *What is it:* *pandas* is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data structures designed to make working with =E2=80=9Crelational=E2=80=9D or = =E2=80=9Clabeled=E2=80=9D data both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python. Additionally, it has the broader goal of becoming the most powerful and flexible open source data analysis / manipulation tool available in any language.
