==================
- Removed ``numba`` from the installation requirements and modified
``SparseDesignMatrix`` to no longer use ``numba.jit``. [997]
- Modified ``LightCurve.bin()`` to partially restore the ``bins`` parameter which
was available in Lightkurve v1.x, to improve backwards compatibility. [995]
- Modified ``LightCurveCollection.stitch()`` to ignore incompatible columns
instead of having them raise a ``ValueError``. [996]
