Hello,

We are proud to announce v0.16.2 of pandas, a minor release from 0.16.1.

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 a release of 4 weeks with 105 commits by 32 authors encompassing 48 issues and 71 pull-requests.

We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.

What is it:

pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive data

structures designed to make working with “relational” or “labeled” 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.

Highlights of this release include:

Source tarballs, windows binaries are available on PyPI:

windows binaries are courtesy of Christoph Gohlke and are built on Numpy 1.9

Thanks

The Pandas Development Team
