Highlights

• Add support for Python 3.11 (#423)
• Allow Numba to be optional (#423)
  • User-defined functions (UDFs) still require numba
• Update how to install python-graphblas and dependencies via pip.
  • The recommended way to install python-graphblas via pip is now:
    • pip install python-graphblas[suitesparse] (also installs suitesparse-graphblas)
    • pip install python-graphblas[suitespars-udf] (also installs numba)
    • pip install python-graphblas[default] (also installs pandas and scipy)
    • pip install python-graphblas[all] (installs every optional dependency including for testing and viz)
  • pip install python-graphblas will keep its current behavior for about a year
    • This currently installs suitesparse-graphblas and numba, which may be dropped as required dependencies in 2024.3.0
    • Release 2024.3.0 or later will probably only depend on numpy, donfig and pyyaml

Enhancements

• Document parameters to operator methods register_new and register_anonymous (#446)
• Update userguide/operations.rst to be copy/paste-able (added outputs) (#440)
• Specify which versions of the GraphBLAS C API we support, and add version policy to FAQ (#441)
• Add link to FAQ to README (#439)
• Add logo, matrix, and graph SVGs to README (#432)
• Convert logo SVGs to use path instead of font for better consistency (#447)
• Minfied all PNGs and SVGs in documentation (#423, #447)

Maintenance

• Split io.py into multiple files (#448)
• Begin using https://pre-commit-ci for running git pre-commit (#432)
• .github/workflows/imports.yml now randomizes Python version and OS (#423)
• Marked poorly covered code with comments # NOT COVERED, # BRANCH NOT COVERED, and # FLAKY COVERAGE
• Dropped support for sparse 0.12
• Support networkx 3.1, numpy 1.24, numba 0.57, pandas 2.0, fast_matrix_market 1.5
