along with a few new features to better support downstream projects.

include better accumulator views, simpler summing, better NumPy and Pandas
compatibility, and sums on growing axes. Lots of backend work,
including a new wheel building system, internal changes and better reliance
on Boost.Histogram's C++ tools for actions like cropping.

Version 0.7.0

This version removes deprecated functionality, and has several backend
improvements. The most noticeable user-facing change is the multithreaded fill
feature, which can enable significant speedups when you have a dataset that is
much larger than the number of bins in your histogram and have free cores to
use. Several small bugs have been fixed.

User changes

• .metadata is now settable directly from the AxesTuple #303
• Deprecated items from 0.5.x now dropped #301

• Passing samples=None is now always allowed in .fill #325

Developer changes

• Build system update, higher requirements for developers (only) #314
  • Version is now obtained from setuptools_scm, no longer stored in repo
• Removed futures requirement for Python 2 tests
• Updated Boost.Histogram, cleaner code with fewer workarounds

Version 0.6.2

Common analysis tasks are now better supported. Much more complete
documentation. Now using development branch of Boost.Histogram again.

Bug fixes

• Fix sum over category axes in indexing #298
• Allow single category item selection #298
• Allow slicing on axes without flow bins #288, #300
• Sum repr no longer throws error #293

Developer changes

Version 0.6.1

Examples and notebooks are now up to date with the current state of the
library. Using Boost 1.72 release.

User changes

• Slices and single values can be mixed in indexing #279
• UHI locators supported on axes #280

Bug fixes

• Properties on accumulator views now resolve correctly #273
• Division of a histogram by a number is supported again #278
• Setting a histogram with length one slice fixed #279
• Numpy functions now work with Numpy ints in bins= #282
• In-place addition avoids a copy #284

Version 0.6.0

Version 0.6

This version fills out most of the remaining features missing from the 0.5.x
series. You can now use all the storages without the original caveats; even
the accumulators can be accessed array-at-a-time without copy, pickled quickly,
and set array-at-a-time, as well.

The API has changed considerably, providing a more consistent experience in
Python. Most of the classic API still works in this release, but will issue a
warning and will be removed from the next release. Please use this release to
transition existing 0.5.x code to the new API.

User changes

• Histogram and Axis classes now follow PEP 8 naming scheme (histogram->Histogram, regular->Regular, int->Int64 etc.) #192, #255
• You can now view a histogram with accumulators, with property access such as h.view().value #194
• Circular variable and integer axes added #231
• Split Category into StrCategory and IntCategory, now allows empty categories when growth=True #221
• StrCategory fills are safer and faster #239, #244
• Added axes transforms #192
• Function(forward, inverse) transform added, allowing ultra-fast C function pointer transforms #231
• You can now set histogram contents directly #250

• h.axes now has the functions from axis as well. #183
• bh.project has become bh.sum #185
• .reduce(...) and the reducers in bh.algorithm have been removed in favor of dictionary based UHI slicing #259

• Reprs are better, various properties like __module__ are now set correctly #200

Version 0.5.2

Another small release, mostly focused on fixing a few bugs that primarily affected Windows + Python 3.8 users. Reprs have become much nicer, making histograms easier to work with in REPLs.

• bh.loc supports an offset #164
• Nicer reprs in several places #167
• Deprecate .at and .axis #170

Bug fixes:

Developer changes:

• Avoid unused PEP 517 isolation for now #171 (may return with proper PEP 518 support eventually)

Version 0.5.1

This release has a few quick bugfixes from PyHEP 2019. It also has one new feature, h.axes, which did not quite make it in for 0.5.0, and has removed the indexed iterator (fully replaced by axes).

User changes:

• Removed the bh.indexed/h.indexed iterator #150
• Added .axes AxisTuple, with direct access to properties #150
• Cleaned up tab completion in IPython #150

• Some non-simple storages do not support some forms of access, like .view
• Indexing and the array versions (such as centers) are incomplete and subject to change
• The numpy module is provisional and subject to change
• Docstrings and signatures will improve in later versions (especially on Python 3)
