This release does not add any new functionality to `giddy`, but
instead features api changes in `giddy` and its
pysal submodule dependencies `mapclassify`, `libpysal`, and `esda`. More
specifically, the `giddy.api` module which was originally designed to
facilitate a smoother transition from the old metapackage pysal to the
refactored submodule structure (see [here](http://pysal.org/about.html#migrating-to-pysal-2-0)
for details) was removed as we are moving away from the
refactoring stage and looking at the future development.

We closed a total of 20 issues (enhancements and bug fixes) through 9 pull requests, since our last release on 2018-07-27.

This release is the first tagged release of giddy on Github.
Starting from this release, giddy supports python 3.5 and 3.6 only.
This release also features categorical spatial Markov which enables spatial Markov
(class [Spatial_Markov](https://github.com/pysal/giddy/blob/master/giddy/markov.py#L179))
to be applied to categorical time series such as land use and land cover change,
as well as neighborhood change. Here, the spatial lag (utilizing function
[lag_categorical](https://github.com/pysal/libpysal/blob/master/libpysal/weights/spatial_lag.py#L88)
in [libpysal](https://github.com/pysal/libpysal)) is defined as the most
common category among neighbors.
