This version includes the addition of a large number of features, enhancements and bug fixes:
Major features:
- Add

Enhancements:
- Support for packed values dimensions, e.g. 3D
RGB
/HSV
arrays (#550, #3983) - Allow selecting/slicing datetimes with strings (#886)
- Support for datashading
Area
,Spikes
,Segments
andPolygons
(#4120) HeatMap
now supports mixed categorical/numeric axes (#2128)- Use
__signature__
to generate .opts tab completions (#4193) - Allow passing element-specific keywords through
datashade
andrasterize
(#4077, #3967) - Add
per_element
flag to.apply
accessor (#4119) - Add

node_padding
heuristic (#4253) - Add
hooks
plot option for Plotly backend (#4157) - Support for split
Violin
plots in bokeh (#4112)
Bug fixes:
- Fixed radial
HeatMap
sizing issues (#4162) - Switched to Panel for rendering machinery fixing various export issues (#3683)
- Handle updating of user supplied
HoverTool
in bokeh (#4266) - Fix issues with single value datashaded plots (#3673)

Library compatibility:
Migration notes:
- Geometry
.iloc
now indexes by geometry instead of by datapoint. Convert to dataframe or dictionary before using.iloc
to access individual datapoints (#4104) - Padding around plot elements is now enabled by default, to revert set
hv.config.node_padding = 0
(#1090) - Removed Bars
group_index
andstack_index
options, which are now controlled using thestacked
option (#3985) .table
is deprecated; use.collapse
method instead and cast toTable
(#3985)HoloMap.split_overlays
is deprecated and is now a private method (#3985)Histogram.edges
andHistogram.values
properties are deprecated; usedimension_values
(#3985)Element.collapse_data
is deprecated; use the container's.collapse
method instead (#3985)hv.output
filename
argument is deprecated; usehv.save
instead (#3985)
