``all()`` and ``any()`` on ``Series`` and ``Frame`` no longer raise when NA values are present and ``skipna`` is ``False``.

Performance enhancements to ``Bus`` loading routines when using ``max_persist`` by refactoring internal architecture of ``Bus`` to no longer hold a reference to a ``Series`` but instead use a mutable array.

Optimization of ``Bus.items()``, ``Bus.values``, ``Bus.iter_element()``, and ``Bus.iter_element_items()`` when ``max_persist`` is greater than one.

Added ``Yarn.iter_element()``, ``Yarn.iter_element_items()``.

Improvements to standard string representation of ``Quilt``.

Added ``is_month_start()``, ``is_month_end()``, ``is_year_start()``, ``is_year_end()``, ``is_quarter_start()``, ``is_quarter_end()`` to ``via_dt`` interfaces.

Added ``hour``, ``minute``, ``second`` properties to ``via_dt`` interfaces.

Improved implementation of ``weekday()``, added ``quarter()`` to ``via_dt`` interfaces.

Fixed issue when using ``iter_window_*`` methods on two-dimensional containers where the opposite axis is not a default index constructor.

Fixed issue when selecting rows from ``Frame`` with 0-length columns.

Implementation of ``Yarn``, a container that presents numerous ``Bus`` as a uniform, 1D interface.

Fixed issue in ``Frame.astype[]`` when selecting targets with a Boolean ``Series`` or arrays.

Fixed unnecessary type coercion in the ``Frame`` returned by ``Frame.drop_duplicated()``.

Improved handling of reindexing and lookups between datetime64 and date / datetime objects.

``Frame.equals()``, ``Series.equals()``, ``Index.equals()``, ``IndexHiearchy.equals()`` and all related routines now distinguish by ``datetime64`` unit in evaluating basic equality.

Extended ``Series.count()`` and ``Frame.count()`` with ``skipfalsy`` and ``unique`` parameters.

Added ``Series.isfalsy()``, ``Series.notfalsy()``, ``Series.dropfalsy()``, ``Series.fillfalsy()``.

Added ``Frame.isfalsy()``, ``Frame.notfalsy()``, ``Frame.dropfalsy()``, ``Frame.fillfalsy()``.

Exposed ``isna_element()`` via ``arraykit`` on root namespace.

Added ``Bus.from_concat()``.

Added ``Bus.to_series()``.

``Bus.reindex()``, ``Bus.relabel()``, ``Bus.relabel_flat()``, ``Bus.relabel_level_add()``, ``Bus.relabel_level_drop()``, ``Bus.rehierarch()`` now, if necessary, load all contents from the associated ``Store`` and return a ``Bus`` without a ``Store`` association.

Added ``index_constructor`` argument to ``Series.from_concat_items()``.

Added ``index_constructor``, ``columns_constructor`` arguments to ``Frame.from_concat_items()``.

Introduced ``IndexDefaultFactory`` to permit specifying index ``name`` attributes with default index constructors.

Added ``Frame.to_series()``.

``Frame.sort_values()``, ``Frame.sort_index()``, ``Frame.sort_columns``, ``Series.sort_index()``, and ``IndexHierarchy.sort()`` now accept ``ascending`` as an iterable of Booleans to specify value per vector.

``FrameGO.via_fill_value()`` now supports providng a fill value in ``__setitem__()`` assignment.

``IndexAutoFactory`` can now be instantiated with a ``size`` parameter to pre-set the size of an auto-index, such as when used to initialize a ``FrameGO``.
