1.1 (alpha)ΒΆ

Here’s what’s new in Release 1.1 (9 October 2017):

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue with datetime64 values. Previously, in the display() function’s table view, datetime64 values in Pandas appeared as Unix timestamps. These date values are now properly displayed (#279).
  • Changed how package import obvserves function names between namespaces. PixieDust no longer automatically overrides functions also named display() in the local namespace (#455).
  • New behavior when calling the display function on an unsupported entity. Instead of telling users that “No PixieDust visualization was found” when attempting to call display() on a data object that’s not a PySpark or Pandas DataFrame, PixieDust now falls back to the IPython display method (#343).
  • Mapbox user layers are fixed. Previously, PixieDust would break this feature because of changes to Python’s geojson package (#453).

Enhancements

  • Mapbox is now the default option for visualizing geospatial data on a map. Previously, PixieDust would choose Google maps by default, which requires additional configuration (#451).
