1.3.1

1.3.0 - February 28, 2016

This version implements several new features and includes two major breaking changes.

Please take note of the following breaking changes:

  1. There is no longer a Length aggregation. The more obvious :class:`.Count` is now used instead.
  2. Agate's replacements for Python's CSV reader and writer have been moved to the agate.csv namespace. To use as a drop-in replacement: from agate import csv.

The major new features in this release are primarly related to transforming (reshaping) tables. They are:

  1. :meth:`.Table.normalize` for converting columns to rows.
  2. :meth:`.Table.denormalize` for converting rows to columns.
  3. :meth:`.Table.pivot` for generating "crosstabs".
  4. :meth:`.Table.homogenize` for filling gaps in data series.

Please see the following complete list of changes for a variety of other bug fixes and improvements.

1.2.2 - February 5, 2016

This release adds several minor features. The only breaking change is that default column names will now be lowercase instead of uppercase. If you depended on these names in your scripts you will need to update them accordingly.

  • :class:`.TypeTester` no longer takes a locale argument. Use types instead.
  • :class:`.TypeTester` now takes a types argument that is a list of possible types to test. (#461)
  • Null conversion can now be disabled for :class:`.Text` by passing cast_nulls=False. (#460)
  • Default column names are now lowercase letters instead of uppercase. (#464)
  • :meth:`.Table.merge` can now merge tables with different columns or columns in a different order. (#465)
  • :meth:`.MappedSequence.get` will no longer raise KeyError if a default is not provided. (#467)
  • :class:`.Number` can now test/cast the long type on Python 2.

1.2.1 - February 5, 2016

This release implements several new features and bug fixes. There are no significant breaking changes.

Special thanks to Neil Bedi for his extensive contributions to this release.

1.2.0 - January 18, 2016

This version introduces one breaking change, which is only relevant if you are using custom :class:`.Computation` subclasses.

  1. :class:`.Computation` has been modified so that :meth:`.Computation.run` takes a :class:`.Table` instance as its argument, rather than a single row. It must return a sequence of values to use for a new column. In addition, the :meth:`.Computation._prepare` method has been renamed to :meth:`.Computation.validate` to more accurately describe it's function. These changes were made to facilitate computing moving averages, streaks and other values that require data for the full column.

1.1.0 - November 4, 2015

This version of agate introduces three major changes.

  1. :class:`.Table`, :meth:`.Table.from_csv` and :meth:`.TableSet.from_csv` now all take column_names and column_types as separate arguments instead of as a sequence of tuples. This was done to enable more flexible type inference and to streamline the API.
  2. The interfaces for :meth:`.TableSet.aggregate` and :meth:`.Table.compute` have been changed. In both cases the new column name now comes first. Aggregations have also been modified so that the input column name is an argument to the aggregation class, rather than a third element in the tuple.
  3. This version drops support for Python 2.6. Testing and bug-fixing for this version was taking substantial time with no evidence that anyone was actually using it. Also, multiple dependencies claim to not support 2.6, even though agate's tests were passing.
