0.7.0 / 2019-03-14

This is a release that adds compatibility with NumPy’s new __array_function__ protocol, for details refer to NEP-18.

The other big change is that we dropped compatibility with Python 2. Users on Python 2 should use version 0.6.0.

There are also some bug-fixes relating to fill-values.

This was mainly a contributor-driven release.

The full list of changes can be found below:

• Fixed a bug where going between sparse.DOK and sparse.COO caused fill-values to be lost. (Issue #225, PR #226).

• Fixed warning for a matrix that was incorrectly considered too dense. (Issue #228, PR #229)

• Fixed some warnings in Python 3.7, the fix was needed. in preparation for Python 3.8. (PR #233, thanks @nils-werner)

• Drop support for Python 2.7 (Issue #234, PR #235, thanks @hugovk)

• Clearer error messages (Issue #230, Issue #231, PR #232)

• Restructure requirements.txt files. (PR #236)

• Support fill-value in reductions in specific cases. (Issue #237, PR #238)

• Add __array_function__ support. (PR #239, thanks, @pentschev)

• Cleaner code! (PR #240)

0.6.0 / 2018-12-19

This release breaks backward-compatibility. Previously, if arrays were fed into NumPy functions, an attempt would be made to densify the array and apply the NumPy function. This was unintended behaviour in most cases, with the array filling up memory before raising a MemoryError if the array was too large.

We have now changed this behaviour so that a RuntimeError is now raised if an attempt is made to automatically densify an array. To densify, use the explicit .todense() method.

• Fixed a bug where np.matrix could sometimes fail to convert to a COO. (Issue #199, PR #200).

• Make sure that sparse @ sparse returns a sparse array. (Issue #201, PR #203)

• Bring operator.matmul behaviour in line with NumPy for ndim > 2. (Issue #202, PR #204, PR #217)

• Make sure dtype is preserved with the out kwarg. (Issue #205, PR #206)

• Fix integer overflow in reduce on Windows. (Issue #207, PR #208)

• Disallow auto-densification. (Issue #218, PR #220)

• Add auto-densification configuration, and a configurable warning for checking if the array is too dense. (PR #210, PR #213)

• Add pruning of fill-values to COO constructor. (PR #221)

0.5.0 / 2018-10-12

• Added COO.real, COO.imag, and COO.conj (PR #196).

• Added sparse.kron function (PR #194, PR #195).

• Added order parameter to COO.reshape to make it work with np.reshape (PR #193).

• Added COO.mean and sparse.nanmean (PR #190).

• Added sparse.full and sparse.full_like (PR #189).

• Added COO.clip method (PR #185).

• Added COO.copy method, and changed pickle of COO to not include its cache (PR #184).

• Added sparse.eye, sparse.zeros, sparse.zeros_like, sparse.ones, and sparse.ones_like (PR #183).

0.4.1 / 2018-09-12

• Allow mixed ndarray-COO operations if the result is sparse (Issue #124, via PR #182).

• Allow specifying a fill-value when converting from NumPy arrays (Issue #179, via PR #180).

• Added COO.any and COO.all methods (PR #175).

• Indexing for COO now accepts a single one-dimensional array index (PR #172).

• The fill-value can now be something other than zero or False (PR #165).

• Added a sparse.roll function (PR #160).

• Numba code now releases the GIL. This leads to better multi-threaded performance in Dask (PR #159).

• A number of bugs occurred, so to resolve them, COO.coords.dtype is always np.int64. COO, therefore, uses more memory than before (PR #158).
