Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first release candidate of
Pandas 0.14.0.
Please try this RC and report any issues here: Pandas
Issues<https://github.com/pydata/pandas/issues>
We will be releasing officially in about 2 weeks or so.

This is a major release from 0.13.1 and includes a small number of API
changes, several new features, enhancements, and
performance improvements along with a large number of bug fixes.

Highlights include:

   - Officially support Python 3.4
   - SQL interfaces updated to use sqlalchemy,
   - Display interface changes
   - MultiIndexing Using Slicers
   - Ability to join a singly-indexed DataFrame with a multi-indexed
   DataFrame
   - More consistency in groupby results and more flexible groupby
   specifications
   - Holiday calendars are now supported in CustomBusinessDay
   - Several improvements in plotting functions, including: hexbin, area
   and pie plots.
   - Performance doc section on I/O operations

Since there are some significant changes in the default way DataFrames are
displayed. I have put
up a comment issue looking for some feedback
