Geoviews

=============

This release is mostly a compatibility release for HoloViews 1.8. It includes a small number of significant fixes and changes:

- Introduces a general ``project`` operation to project most Element types from one ``crs`` to another ( https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/pull/69)
- Added a ``gv.RGB`` Element type useful for representing datashader aggregates and particularly loading GeoTiffs with xarray (https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/pull/75)
- All geoviews geographic Elements declare a ``crs``, which defaults to ``PlateCarree()`` (https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/pull/76)
- Fix for compatibility with HoloViews 1.8 (https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/pull/77)

=============

This is a minor release mostly to maintain compatibility with the recently released HoloViews 1.7.0.

Features:

- Added ``project_shape`` operations (https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/commit/c6c5ce261aa725853e00094fbe59ff3650ad1e19)
- The ``Shape.from_records`` function now supports ``drop_missing`` option. 63
- Compatibility with HoloViews (PR 59, 60)

Bug fixes:

- Fix for ``Shape`` Element colormapping (PR 58)
- Geographic objects did not inherit ``crs`` on clone (https://github.com/holoviz/geoviews/commit/df0ba893e273e8a143d78419f6491c27ed814fe5)

=============

Minor release to improve usability:
- Improved layouts, reducing whitespace around non-square plots
- Added `geoviews.features` module for simple access to cartopy Features.
- Improved tutorials

First stable version, with support for matplotlib and bokeh (web Mercator projection only). Requires HoloViews 1.6+ to be able to use data from xarray or iris.
