# What’s new in 1.1.0 (July 28, 2020)

These are the changes in pandas 1.1.0. See Release notes for a full changelog including other versions of pandas.

## Enhancements

### KeyErrors raised by loc specify missing labels

Previously, if labels were missing for a `.loc` call, a KeyError was raised stating that this was no longer supported.

Now the error message also includes a list of the missing labels (max 10 items, display width 80 characters). See GH 34272.

### All dtypes can now be converted to `StringDtype`

Previously, declaring or converting to `StringDtype` was in general only possible if the data was already only `str` or nan-like (GH 31204). `StringDtype` now works in all situations where `astype(str)` or `dtype=str` work:

For example, the below now works:

    In [1]: ser = pd.Series([1, "abc", np.nan], dtype="string")

    In [2]: ser
    Out[2]:
    0       1
    1     abc
    2    <NA>
    Length: 3, dtype: string

    In [3]: ser[0]
    Out[3]: '1'

    In [4]: pd.Series([1, 2, np.nan], dtype="Int64").astype("string")
    Out[4]:
    0       1
    1       2
    2    <NA>
    Length: 3, dtype: string

### Non-monotonic PeriodIndex partial string slicing

`PeriodIndex` now supports partial string slicing for non-monotonic indexes, mirroring `DatetimeIndex` behavior (GH 31096)

For example:

    In [5]: dti = pd.date_range("2014-01-01", periods=30, freq="30D")

    In [6]: pi = dti.to_period("D")

    In [7]: ser_monotonic = pd.Series(np.arange(30), index=pi)

    In [8]: shuffler = list(range(0, 30, 2)) + list(range(1, 31, 2))

    In [9]: ser = ser_monotonic.iloc[shuffler]

    In [10]: ser
    Out[10]:
    2014-01-01     0
    2014-03-02     2
    2014-05-01     4
    2014-06-30     6
    2014-08-29     8
                  ..
    2015-09-23    21
    2015-11-22    23
    2016-01-21    25
    2016-03-21    27
    2016-05-20    29
    Freq: D, Length: 30, dtype: int64

    In [11]: ser["2014"]
    Out[11]:
    2014-01-01     0
    2014-03-02     2
    2014-05-01     4
    2014-06-30     6
    2014-08-29     8
    2014-10-28    10
    2014-12-27    12
    2014-01-31     1
    2014-04-01     3
    2014-05-31     5
    2014-07-30     7
    2014-09-28     9
    2014-11-27    11
    Freq: D, Length: 13, dtype: int64

    In [12]: ser.loc["May 2015"]
    Out[12]:
    2015-05-26    17
    Freq: D, Length: 1, dtype: int64

### Comparing two `DataFrame` or two `Series` and summarizing the differences

We’ve added `DataFrame.compare()` and `Series.compare()` for comparing two `DataFrame` or two `Series` (GH 30429)

    In [13]: df = pd.DataFrame(
       ....:     {
       ....:         "col1": ["a", "a", "b", "b", "a"],
       ....:         "col2": [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, np.nan, 5.0],
       ....:         "col3": [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]
       ....:     },
       ....:     columns=["col1", "col2", "col3"],
       ....: )
       ....:

    In [14]: df
    Out[14]:
      col1  col2  col3
    0    a   1.0   1.0
    1    a   2.0   2.0
    2    b   3.0   3.0
    3    b   NaN   4.0
    4    a   5.0   5.0

    [5 rows x 3 columns]

    In [15]: df2 = df.copy()

    In [16]: df2.loc[0, 'col1'] = 'c'

    In [17]: df2.loc[2, 'col3'] = 4.0

    In [18]: df2
    Out[18]:
      col1  col2  col3
    0    c   1.0   1.0
    1    a   2.0   2.0
    2    b   3.0   4.0
    3    b   NaN   4.0
    4    a   5.0   5.0

    [5 rows x 3 columns]

    In [19]: df.compare(df2)
    Out[19]:
      col1       col3
      self other self other
    0    a     c  NaN   NaN
    2  NaN   NaN  3.0   4.0

    [2 rows x 4 columns]

See User Guide for more details.

### Allow NA in groupby key

With groupby , we’ve added a `dropna` keyword to `DataFrame.groupby()` and `Series.groupby()` in order to allow `NA` values in group keys. Users can define `dropna` to `False` if they want to include `NA` values in groupby keys. The default is set to `True` for `dropna` to keep backwards compatibility (GH 3729)

    In [20]: df_list = [[1, 2, 3], [1, None, 4], [2, 1, 3], [1, 2, 2]]

    In [21]: df_dropna = pd.DataFrame(df_list, columns=["a", "b", "c"])

    In [22]: df_dropna
    Out[22]:
       a    b  c
    0  1  2.0  3
    1  1  NaN  4
    2  2  1.0  3
    3  1  2.0  2

    [4 rows x 3 columns]

    # Default ``dropna`` is set to True, which will exclude NaNs in keys
    In [23]: df_dropna.groupby(by=["b"], dropna=True).sum()
    Out[23]:
         a  c
    b
    1.0  2  3
    2.0  2  5

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

    # In order to allow NaN in keys, set ``dropna`` to False
    In [24]: df_dropna.groupby(by=["b"], dropna=False).sum()
    Out[24]:
         a  c
    b
    1.0  2  3
    2.0  2  5
    NaN  1  4

    [3 rows x 2 columns]

The default setting of `dropna` argument is `True` which means `NA` are not included in group keys.

### Sorting with keys

We’ve added a `key` argument to the `DataFrame` and `Series` sorting methods, including `DataFrame.sort_values()`, `DataFrame.sort_index()`, `Series.sort_values()`, and `Series.sort_index()`. The `key` can be any callable function which is applied column-by-column to each column used for sorting, before sorting is performed (GH 27237). See sort_values with keys and sort_index with keys for more information.

    In [25]: s = pd.Series(['C', 'a', 'B'])

    In [26]: s
    Out[26]:
    0    C
    1    a
    2    B
    Length: 3, dtype: object

    In [27]: s.sort_values()
    Out[27]:
    2    B
    0    C
    1    a
    Length: 3, dtype: object

Note how this is sorted with capital letters first. If we apply the `Series.str.lower()` method, we get

    In [28]: s.sort_values(key=lambda x: x.str.lower())
    Out[28]:
    1    a
    2    B
    0    C
    Length: 3, dtype: object

When applied to a `DataFrame`, they key is applied per-column to all columns or a subset if `by` is specified, e.g.

    In [29]: df = pd.DataFrame({'a': ['C', 'C', 'a', 'a', 'B', 'B'],
       ....:                    'b': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]})
       ....:

    In [30]: df
    Out[30]:
       a  b
    0  C  1
    1  C  2
    2  a  3
    3  a  4
    4  B  5
    5  B  6

    [6 rows x 2 columns]

    In [31]: df.sort_values(by=['a'], key=lambda col: col.str.lower())
    Out[31]:
       a  b
    2  a  3
    3  a  4
    4  B  5
    5  B  6
    0  C  1
    1  C  2

    [6 rows x 2 columns]

For more details, see examples and documentation in `DataFrame.sort_values()`, `Series.sort_values()`, and `sort_index()`.

### Fold argument support in Timestamp constructor

`Timestamp:` now supports the keyword-only fold argument according to PEP 495 similar to parent `datetime.datetime` class. It supports both accepting fold as an initialization argument and inferring fold from other constructor arguments (GH 25057, GH 31338). Support is limited to `dateutil` timezones as `pytz` doesn’t support fold.

For example:

    In [32]: ts = pd.Timestamp("2019-10-27 01:30:00+00:00")

    In [33]: ts.fold
    Out[33]: 0

    In [34]: ts = pd.Timestamp(year=2019, month=10, day=27, hour=1, minute=30,
       ....:                   tz="dateutil/Europe/London", fold=1)
       ....:

    In [35]: ts
    Out[35]: Timestamp('2019-10-27 01:30:00+0000', tz='dateutil//usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London')

For more on working with fold, see Fold subsection in the user guide.

### Parsing timezone-aware format with different timezones in to_datetime

`to_datetime()` now supports parsing formats containing timezone names (`%Z`) and UTC offsets (`%z`) from different timezones then converting them to UTC by setting `utc=True`. This would return a `DatetimeIndex` with timezone at UTC as opposed to an `Index` with `object` dtype if `utc=True` is not set (GH 32792).

For example:

    In [36]: tz_strs = ["2010-01-01 12:00:00 +0100", "2010-01-01 12:00:00 -0100",
       ....:            "2010-01-01 12:00:00 +0300", "2010-01-01 12:00:00 +0400"]
       ....:

    In [37]: pd.to_datetime(tz_strs, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z', utc=True)
    Out[37]:
    DatetimeIndex(['2010-01-01 11:00:00+00:00', '2010-01-01 13:00:00+00:00',
                   '2010-01-01 09:00:00+00:00', '2010-01-01 08:00:00+00:00'],
                  dtype='datetime64[ns, UTC]', freq=None)

    In[37]: pd.to_datetime(tz_strs, format='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z')
    Out[37]:
    Index([2010-01-01 12:00:00+01:00, 2010-01-01 12:00:00-01:00,
           2010-01-01 12:00:00+03:00, 2010-01-01 12:00:00+04:00],
          dtype='object')

### Grouper and resample now supports the arguments origin and offset

`Grouper` and `DataFrame.resample()` now supports the arguments `origin` and `offset`. It let the user control the timestamp on which to adjust the grouping. (GH 31809)

The bins of the grouping are adjusted based on the beginning of the day of the time series starting point. This works well with frequencies that are multiples of a day (like `30D`) or that divides a day (like `90s` or `1min`). But it can create inconsistencies with some frequencies that do not meet this criteria. To change this behavior you can now specify a fixed timestamp with the argument `origin`.

Two arguments are now deprecated (more information in the documentation of `DataFrame.resample()`):

- `base` should be replaced by `offset`.

- `loffset` should be replaced by directly adding an offset to the index `DataFrame` after being resampled.

Small example of the use of `origin`:

    In [38]: start, end = '2000-10-01 23:30:00', '2000-10-02 00:30:00'

    In [39]: middle = '2000-10-02 00:00:00'

    In [40]: rng = pd.date_range(start, end, freq='7min')

    In [41]: ts = pd.Series(np.arange(len(rng)) * 3, index=rng)

    In [42]: ts
    Out[42]:
    2000-10-01 23:30:00     0
    2000-10-01 23:37:00     3
    2000-10-01 23:44:00     6
    2000-10-01 23:51:00     9
    2000-10-01 23:58:00    12
    2000-10-02 00:05:00    15
    2000-10-02 00:12:00    18
    2000-10-02 00:19:00    21
    2000-10-02 00:26:00    24
    Freq: 7min, Length: 9, dtype: int64

Resample with the default behavior `'start_day'` (origin is `2000-10-01 00:00:00`):

    In [43]: ts.resample('17min').sum()
    Out[43]:
    2000-10-01 23:14:00     0
    2000-10-01 23:31:00     9
    2000-10-01 23:48:00    21
    2000-10-02 00:05:00    54
    2000-10-02 00:22:00    24
    Freq: 17min, Length: 5, dtype: int64

    In [44]: ts.resample('17min', origin='start_day').sum()
    Out[44]:
    2000-10-01 23:14:00     0
    2000-10-01 23:31:00     9
    2000-10-01 23:48:00    21
    2000-10-02 00:05:00    54
    2000-10-02 00:22:00    24
    Freq: 17min, Length: 5, dtype: int64

Resample using a fixed origin:

    In [45]: ts.resample('17min', origin='epoch').sum()
    Out[45]:
    2000-10-01 23:18:00     0
    2000-10-01 23:35:00    18
    2000-10-01 23:52:00    27
    2000-10-02 00:09:00    39
    2000-10-02 00:26:00    24
    Freq: 17min, Length: 5, dtype: int64

    In [46]: ts.resample('17min', origin='2000-01-01').sum()
    Out[46]:
    2000-10-01 23:24:00     3
    2000-10-01 23:41:00    15
    2000-10-01 23:58:00    45
    2000-10-02 00:15:00    45
    Freq: 17min, Length: 4, dtype: int64

If needed you can adjust the bins with the argument `offset` (a `Timedelta`) that would be added to the default `origin`.

For a full example, see: Use origin or offset to adjust the start of the bins.

### fsspec now used for filesystem handling

For reading and writing to filesystems other than local and reading from HTTP(S), the optional dependency `fsspec` will be used to dispatch operations (GH 33452). This will give unchanged functionality for S3 and GCS storage, which were already supported, but also add support for several other storage implementations such as Azure Datalake and Blob, SSH, FTP, dropbox and github. For docs and capabilities, see the fsspec docs.

The existing capability to interface with S3 and GCS will be unaffected by this change, as `fsspec` will still bring in the same packages as before.

- Positional slicing on a `IntervalIndex` now supports slices with `step > 1` (GH 31658)

- `Series.str` now has a `fullmatch` method that matches a regular expression against the entire string in each row of the `Series`, similar to `re.fullmatch` (GH 32806).

- `DataFrame.sample()` will now also allow array-like and BitGenerator objects to be passed to `random_state` as seeds (GH 32503)

- `Index.union()` will now raise `RuntimeWarning` for `MultiIndex` objects if the object inside are unsortable. Pass `sort=False` to suppress this warning (GH 33015)

- `DataFrame.to_csv()`, `DataFrame.to_pickle()`, and `DataFrame.to_json()` now support passing a dict of compression arguments when using the `gzip` and `bz2` protocols. This can be used to set a custom compression level, e.g., `df.to_csv(path, compression={'method': 'gzip', 'compresslevel': 1}` (GH 33196)

- `melt()` has gained an `ignore_index` (default `True`) argument that, if set to `False`, prevents the method from dropping the index (GH 17440).

- `Series.update()` now accepts objects that can be coerced to a `Series`, such as `dict` and `list`, mirroring the behavior of `DataFrame.update()` (GH 33215)

- `concat()` and `append()` now preserve extension dtypes, for example combining a nullable integer column with a numpy integer column will no longer result in object dtype but preserve the integer dtype (GH 33607, GH 34339, GH 34095).

- `read_gbq()` now allows to disable progress bar (GH 33360).

- `read_gbq()` now supports the `max_results` kwarg from `pandas-gbq` (GH 34639).

- `DataFrame.cov()` and `Series.cov()` now support a new parameter `ddof` to support delta degrees of freedom as in the corresponding numpy methods (GH 34611).

- `DataFrame.to_excel()` can now also write OpenOffice spreadsheet (.ods) files (GH 27222)

- `explode()` now accepts `ignore_index` to reset the index, similar to `pd.concat()` or `DataFrame.sort_values()` (GH 34932).

- `DataFrame.to_markdown()` and `Series.to_markdown()` now accept `index` argument as an alias for tabulate’s `showindex` (GH 32667)

- `read_csv()` now accepts string values like “0”, “0.0”, “1”, “1.0” as convertible to the nullable Boolean dtype (GH 34859)

- `ExponentialMovingWindow` now supports a `times` argument that allows `mean` to be calculated with observations spaced by the timestamps in `times` (GH 34839)

- `DataFrame.agg()` and `Series.agg()` now accept named aggregation for renaming the output columns/indexes. (GH 26513)

- `compute.use_numba` now exists as a configuration option that utilizes the numba engine when available (GH 33966, GH 35374)

- `Series.plot()` now supports asymmetric error bars. Previously, if `Series.plot()` received a “2xN” array with error values for `yerr` and/or `xerr`, the left/lower values (first row) were mirrored, while the right/upper values (second row) were ignored. Now, the first row represents the left/lower error values and the second row the right/upper error values. (GH 9536)

## Notable bug fixes

These are bug fixes that might have notable behavior changes.

### `MultiIndex.get_indexer` interprets `method` argument correctly

This restores the behavior of `MultiIndex.get_indexer()` with `method='backfill'` or `method='pad'` to the behavior before pandas 0.23.0. In particular, MultiIndexes are treated as a list of tuples and padding or backfilling is done with respect to the ordering of these lists of tuples (GH 29896).

As an example of this, given:

    In [47]: df = pd.DataFrame({
       ....:     'a': [0, 0, 0, 0],
       ....:     'b': [0, 2, 3, 4],
       ....:     'c': ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D'],
       ....: }).set_index(['a', 'b'])
       ....:

    In [48]: mi_2 = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([[0], [-1, 0, 1, 3, 4, 5]])

The differences in reindexing `df` with `mi_2` and using `method='backfill'` can be seen here:

pandas >= 0.23, < 1.1.0:

    In [1]: df.reindex(mi_2, method='backfill')
    Out[1]:
          c
    0 -1  A
       0  A
       1  D
       3  A
       4  A
       5  C

pandas <0.23, >= 1.1.0

    In [49]: df.reindex(mi_2, method='backfill')
    Out[49]:
            c
    0 -1    A
       0    A
       1    B
       3    C
       4    D
       5  NaN

    [6 rows x 1 columns]

And the differences in reindexing `df` with `mi_2` and using `method='pad'` can be seen here:

pandas >= 0.23, < 1.1.0

    In [1]: df.reindex(mi_2, method='pad')
    Out[1]:
            c
    0 -1  NaN
       0  NaN
       1    D
       3  NaN
       4    A
       5    C

pandas < 0.23, >= 1.1.0

    In [50]: df.reindex(mi_2, method='pad')
    Out[50]:
            c
    0 -1  NaN
       0    A
       1    A
       3    C
       4    D
       5    D

    [6 rows x 1 columns]

### Failed label-based lookups always raise KeyError

Label lookups `series[key]`, `series.loc[key]` and `frame.loc[key]` used to raise either `KeyError` or `TypeError` depending on the type of key and type of `Index`. These now consistently raise `KeyError` (GH 31867)

    In [51]: ser1 = pd.Series(range(3), index=[0, 1, 2])

    In [52]: ser2 = pd.Series(range(3), index=pd.date_range("2020-02-01", periods=3))

Previous behavior:

    In [3]: ser1[1.5]
    ...
    TypeError: cannot do label indexing on Int64Index with these indexers [1.5] of type float

    In [4] ser1["foo"]
    ...
    KeyError: 'foo'

    In [5]: ser1.loc[1.5]
    ...
    TypeError: cannot do label indexing on Int64Index with these indexers [1.5] of type float

    In [6]: ser1.loc["foo"]
    ...
    KeyError: 'foo'

    In [7]: ser2.loc[1]
    ...
    TypeError: cannot do label indexing on DatetimeIndex with these indexers [1] of type int

    In [8]: ser2.loc[pd.Timestamp(0)]
    ...
    KeyError: Timestamp('1970-01-01 00:00:00')

New behavior:

    In [3]: ser1[1.5]
    ...
    KeyError: 1.5

    In [4] ser1["foo"]
    ...
    KeyError: 'foo'

    In [5]: ser1.loc[1.5]
    ...
    KeyError: 1.5

    In [6]: ser1.loc["foo"]
    ...
    KeyError: 'foo'

    In [7]: ser2.loc[1]
    ...
    KeyError: 1

    In [8]: ser2.loc[pd.Timestamp(0)]
    ...
    KeyError: Timestamp('1970-01-01 00:00:00')

Similarly, `DataFrame.at()` and `Series.at()` will raise a `TypeError` instead of a `ValueError` if an incompatible key is passed, and `KeyError` if a missing key is passed, matching the behavior of `.loc[]` (GH 31722)

### Failed Integer Lookups on MultiIndex Raise KeyError

Indexing with integers with a `MultiIndex` that has an integer-dtype first level incorrectly failed to raise `KeyError` when one or more of those integer keys is not present in the first level of the index (GH 33539)

    In [53]: idx = pd.Index(range(4))

    In [54]: dti = pd.date_range("2000-01-03", periods=3)

    In [55]: mi = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([idx, dti])

    In [56]: ser = pd.Series(range(len(mi)), index=mi)

Previous behavior:

    In [5]: ser[[5]]
    Out[5]: Series([], dtype: int64)

New behavior:

    In [5]: ser[[5]]
    ...
    KeyError: '[5] not in index'

### `DataFrame.merge()` preserves right frame’s row order

`DataFrame.merge()` now preserves the right frame’s row order when executing a right merge (GH 27453)

    In [57]: left_df = pd.DataFrame({'animal': ['dog', 'pig'],
       ....:                        'max_speed': [40, 11]})
       ....:

    In [58]: right_df = pd.DataFrame({'animal': ['quetzal', 'pig'],
       ....:                         'max_speed': [80, 11]})
       ....:

    In [59]: left_df
    Out[59]:
      animal  max_speed
    0    dog         40
    1    pig         11

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

    In [60]: right_df
    Out[60]:
        animal  max_speed
    0  quetzal         80
    1      pig         11

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

Previous behavior:

    >>> left_df.merge(right_df, on=['animal', 'max_speed'], how="right")
        animal  max_speed
    0      pig         11
    1  quetzal         80

New behavior:

    In [61]: left_df.merge(right_df, on=['animal', 'max_speed'], how="right")
    Out[61]:
        animal  max_speed
    0  quetzal         80
    1      pig         11

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

### Assignment to multiple columns of a DataFrame when some columns do not exist

Assignment to multiple columns of a `DataFrame` when some of the columns do not exist would previously assign the values to the last column. Now, new columns will be constructed with the right values. (GH 13658)

    In [62]: df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [0, 1, 2], 'b': [3, 4, 5]})

    In [63]: df
    Out[63]:
       a  b
    0  0  3
    1  1  4
    2  2  5

    [3 rows x 2 columns]

Previous behavior:

    In [3]: df[['a', 'c']] = 1
    In [4]: df
    Out[4]:
       a  b
    0  1  1
    1  1  1
    2  1  1

New behavior:

    In [64]: df[['a', 'c']] = 1

    In [65]: df
    Out[65]:
       a  b  c
    0  1  3  1
    1  1  4  1
    2  1  5  1

    [3 rows x 3 columns]

### Consistency across groupby reductions

Using `DataFrame.groupby()` with `as_index=True` and the aggregation `nunique` would include the grouping column(s) in the columns of the result. Now the grouping column(s) only appear in the index, consistent with other reductions. (GH 32579)

    In [66]: df = pd.DataFrame({"a": ["x", "x", "y", "y"], "b": [1, 1, 2, 3]})

    In [67]: df
    Out[67]:
       a  b
    0  x  1
    1  x  1
    2  y  2
    3  y  3

    [4 rows x 2 columns]

Previous behavior:

    In [3]: df.groupby("a", as_index=True).nunique()
    Out[4]:
       a  b
    a
    x  1  1
    y  1  2

New behavior:

    In [68]: df.groupby("a", as_index=True).nunique()
    Out[68]:
       b
    a
    x  1
    y  2

    [2 rows x 1 columns]

Using `DataFrame.groupby()` with `as_index=False` and the function `idxmax`, `idxmin`, `mad`, `nunique`, `sem`, `skew`, or `std` would modify the grouping column. Now the grouping column remains unchanged, consistent with other reductions. (GH 21090, GH 10355)

Previous behavior:

    In [3]: df.groupby("a", as_index=False).nunique()
    Out[4]:
       a  b
    0  1  1
    1  1  2

New behavior:

    In [69]: df.groupby("a", as_index=False).nunique()
    Out[69]:
       a  b
    0  x  1
    1  y  2

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

The method `DataFrameGroupBy.size()` would previously ignore `as_index=False`. Now the grouping columns are returned as columns, making the result a `DataFrame` instead of a `Series`. (GH 32599)

Previous behavior:

    In [3]: df.groupby("a", as_index=False).size()
    Out[4]:
    a
    x    2
    y    2
    dtype: int64

New behavior:

    In [70]: df.groupby("a", as_index=False).size()
    Out[70]:
       a  size
    0  x     2
    1  y     2

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

### `DataFrameGroupby.agg()` lost results with `as_index=False` when relabeling columns

Previously `DataFrameGroupby.agg()` lost the result columns, when the `as_index` option was set to `False` and the result columns were relabeled. In this case the result values were replaced with the previous index (GH 32240).

    In [71]: df = pd.DataFrame({"key": ["x", "y", "z", "x", "y", "z"],
       ....:                    "val": [1.0, 0.8, 2.0, 3.0, 3.6, 0.75]})
       ....:

    In [72]: df
    Out[72]:
      key   val
    0   x  1.00
    1   y  0.80
    2   z  2.00
    3   x  3.00
    4   y  3.60
    5   z  0.75

    [6 rows x 2 columns]

Previous behavior:

    In [2]: grouped = df.groupby("key", as_index=False)
    In [3]: result = grouped.agg(min_val=pd.NamedAgg(column="val", aggfunc="min"))
    In [4]: result
    Out[4]:
         min_val
     0   x
     1   y
     2   z

New behavior:

    In [73]: grouped = df.groupby("key", as_index=False)

    In [74]: result = grouped.agg(min_val=pd.NamedAgg(column="val", aggfunc="min"))

    In [75]: result
    Out[75]:
      key  min_val
    0   x     1.00
    1   y     0.80
    2   z     0.75

    [3 rows x 2 columns]

### apply and applymap on `DataFrame` evaluates first row/column only once

    In [76]: df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [3, 6]})

    In [77]: def func(row):
       ....:     print(row)
       ....:     return row
       ....:

Previous behavior:

    In [4]: df.apply(func, axis=1)
    a    1
    b    3
    Name: 0, dtype: int64
    a    1
    b    3
    Name: 0, dtype: int64
    a    2
    b    6
    Name: 1, dtype: int64
    Out[4]:
       a  b
    0  1  3
    1  2  6

New behavior:

    In [78]: df.apply(func, axis=1)
    a    1
    b    3
    Name: 0, Length: 2, dtype: int64
    a    2

    Out[78]:
       a  b
    0  1  3
    1  2  6

    [2 rows x 2 columns]

## Backwards incompatible API changes

### Added `check_freq` argument to `testing.assert_frame_equal` and `testing.assert_series_equal`

The `check_freq` argument was added to `testing.assert_frame_equal()` and `testing.assert_series_equal()` in pandas 1.1.0 and defaults to `True`. `testing.assert_frame_equal()` and `testing.assert_series_equal()` now raise `AssertionError` if the indexes do not have the same frequency. Before pandas 1.1.0, the index frequency was not checked.

### Increased minimum versions for dependencies

Some minimum supported versions of dependencies were updated (GH 33718, GH 29766, GH 29723, pytables >= 3.4.3). If installed, we now require:

Package | Minimum Version | Required | Changed
--- | --- | --- | ---
numpy | 1.15.4 | X | X
pytz | 2015.4 | X |
python-dateutil | 2.7.3 | X | X
bottleneck | 1.2.1 |  |
numexpr | 2.6.2 |  |
pytest (dev) | 4.0.2 |  |

For optional libraries the general recommendation is to use the latest version. The following table lists the lowest version per library that is currently being tested throughout the development of pandas. Optional libraries below the lowest tested version may still work, but are not considered supported.

Package | Minimum Version | Changed
--- | --- | ---
beautifulsoup4 | 4.6.0 |
fastparquet | 0.3.2 |
fsspec | 0.7.4 |
gcsfs | 0.6.0 | X
lxml | 3.8.0 |
matplotlib | 2.2.2 |
numba | 0.46.0 |
openpyxl | 2.5.7 |
pyarrow | 0.13.0 |
pymysql | 0.7.1 |
pytables | 3.4.3 | X
s3fs | 0.4.0 | X
scipy | 1.2.0 | X
sqlalchemy | 1.1.4 |
xarray | 0.8.2 |
xlrd | 1.1.0 |
xlsxwriter | 0.9.8 |
xlwt | 1.2.0 |
pandas-gbq | 1.2.0 | X

See Dependencies and Optional dependencies for more.

### Development changes

- Passing any arguments but the first one to `read_html()` as positional arguments is deprecated. All other arguments should be given as keyword arguments (GH 27573).

- Passing any arguments but `path_or_buf` (the first one) to `read_json()` as positional arguments is deprecated. All other arguments should be given as keyword arguments (GH 27573).

- Passing any arguments but the first two to `read_excel()` as positional arguments is deprecated. All other arguments should be given as keyword arguments (GH 27573).

- `pandas.api.types.is_categorical()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version; use `pandas.api.types.is_categorical_dtype()` instead (GH 33385)

- `DatetimeIndex.week()` and `DatetimeIndex.weekofyear` are deprecated and will be removed in a future version, use `DatetimeIndex.isocalendar().week` instead (GH 33595)

- `DatetimeArray.week()` and `DatetimeArray.weekofyear` are deprecated and will be removed in a future version, use `DatetimeArray.isocalendar().week` instead (GH 33595)

- `DateOffset.__call__()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version, use `offset + other` instead (GH 34171)

- `apply_index()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use `offset + other` instead (GH 34580)

- `DataFrame.tshift()` and `Series.tshift()` are deprecated and will be removed in a future version, use `DataFrame.shift()` and `Series.shift()` instead (GH 11631)

- Indexing an `Index` object with a float key is deprecated, and will raise an `IndexError` in the future. You can manually convert to an integer key instead (GH 34191).

- The `squeeze` keyword in `groupby()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version (GH 32380)

- The `tz` keyword in `Period.to_timestamp()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version; use `per.to_timestamp(...).tz_localize(tz)` instead (GH 34522)

- `DatetimeIndex.to_perioddelta()` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use `index - index.to_period(freq).to_timestamp()` instead (GH 34853)

- Performance improvement in arithmetic ops between `DataFrame` and `Series` with `axis=1` (GH 33600)

- The internal index method `_shallow_copy()` now copies cached attributes over to the new index, avoiding creating these again on the new index. This can speed up many operations that depend on creating copies of existing indexes (GH 28584, GH 32640, GH 32669)

- Significant performance improvement when creating a `DataFrame` with sparse values from `scipy.sparse` matrices using the `DataFrame.sparse.from_spmatrix()` constructor (GH 32821, GH 32825, GH 32826, GH 32856, GH 32858).

- Performance improvement for groupby methods `Groupby.first()` and `Groupby.last()` (GH 34178)

- Performance improvement in `factorize()` for nullable (integer and Boolean) dtypes (GH 33064).

- Performance improvement when constructing `Categorical` objects (GH 33921)

- Fixed performance regression in `pandas.qcut()` and `pandas.cut()` (GH 33921)

- Performance improvement in reductions (`sum`, `prod`, `min`, `max`) for nullable (integer and Boolean) dtypes (GH 30982, GH 33261, GH 33442).

- Performance improvement in arithmetic operations between two `DataFrame` objects (GH 32779)

- Performance improvement in `RollingGroupby` (GH 34052)

- Performance improvement in `DataFrame[bool_indexer]` when `bool_indexer` is a `list` (GH 33924)

- Significant performance improvement of `io.formats.style.Styler.render()` with styles added with various ways such as `io.formats.style.Styler.apply()`, `io.formats.style.Styler.applymap()` or `io.formats.style.Styler.bar()` (GH 19917)

## Bug fixes

### Categorical

- Passing an invalid `fill_value` to `Categorical.take()` raises a `ValueError` instead of `TypeError` (GH 33660)

- Combining a `Categorical` with integer categories and which contains missing values with a float dtype column in operations such as `concat()` or `append()` will now result in a float column instead of an object dtype column (GH 33607)

- Bug where `merge()` was unable to join on non-unique categorical indices (GH 28189)

- Bug when passing categorical data to `Index` constructor along with `dtype=object` incorrectly returning a `CategoricalIndex` instead of object-dtype `Index` (GH 32167)

- Bug where `Categorical` comparison operator `__ne__` would incorrectly evaluate to `False` when either element was missing (GH 32276)

- `Categorical.fillna()` now accepts `Categorical` `other` argument (GH 32420)

- Repr of `Categorical` was not distinguishing between `int` and `str` (GH 33676)

### Datetimelike

- Passing an integer dtype other than `int64` to `np.array(period_index, dtype=...)` will now raise `TypeError` instead of incorrectly using `int64` (GH 32255)

- `Series.to_timestamp()` now raises a `TypeError` if the axis is not a `PeriodIndex`. Previously an `AttributeError` was raised (GH 33327)

- `Series.to_period()` now raises a `TypeError` if the axis is not a `DatetimeIndex`. Previously an `AttributeError` was raised (GH 33327)

- `Period` no longer accepts tuples for the `freq` argument (GH 34658)

       ....:

    # Rows are now ordered as the requested keys
    In [80]: df.loc[(['b', 'a'], [2, 1]), :]
    Out[80]:
         0

    # Common elements are now guaranteed to be ordered by the left side
    In [83]: left.intersection(right, sort=False)

    MultiIndex([('b', 2),
                ('a', 1)],
               )

- Bug in `Dataframe.aggregate()` and `Series.aggregate()` was causing a recursive loop in some cases (GH 34224)

- Fixed bug in `melt()` where melting `MultiIndex` columns with `col_level > 0` would raise a `KeyError` on `id_vars` (GH 34129)

- Bug in `Series.where()` with an empty `Series` and empty `cond` having non-bool dtype (GH 34592)

- Fixed regression where `DataFrame.apply()` would raise `ValueError` for elements with `S` dtype (GH 34529)

### Sparse

- Creating a `SparseArray` from timezone-aware dtype will issue a warning before dropping timezone information, instead of doing so silently (GH 32501)

- Bug in `arrays.SparseArray.from_spmatrix()` wrongly read scipy sparse matrix (GH 31991)

- Bug in `Series.sum()` with `SparseArray` raised a `TypeError` (GH 25777)

- Bug where `DataFrame` containing an all-sparse `SparseArray` filled with `NaN` when indexed by a list-like (GH 27781, GH 29563)

- The repr of `SparseDtype` now includes the repr of its `fill_value` attribute. Previously it used `fill_value`’s string representation (GH 34352)

- Bug where empty `DataFrame` could not be cast to `SparseDtype` (GH 33113)

- Bug in `arrays.SparseArray()` was returning the incorrect type when indexing a sparse dataframe with an iterable (GH 34526, GH 34540)

### ExtensionArray

- Fixed bug where `Series.value_counts()` would raise on empty input of `Int64` dtype (GH 33317)

- Fixed bug in `concat()` when concatenating `DataFrame` objects with non-overlapping columns resulting in object-dtype columns rather than preserving the extension dtype (GH 27692, GH 33027)

- Fixed bug where `StringArray.isna()` would return `False` for NA values when `pandas.options.mode.use_inf_as_na` was set to `True` (GH 33655)

- Fixed bug in `Series` construction with EA dtype and index but no data or scalar data fails (GH 26469)

- Fixed bug that caused `Series.__repr__()` to crash for extension types whose elements are multidimensional arrays (GH 33770).

- Fixed bug where `Series.update()` would raise a `ValueError` for `ExtensionArray` dtypes with missing values (GH 33980)

- Fixed bug where `StringArray.memory_usage()` was not implemented (GH 33963)

- Fixed bug where `DataFrameGroupBy()` would ignore the `min_count` argument for aggregations on nullable Boolean dtypes (GH 34051)

- Fixed bug where the constructor of `DataFrame` with `dtype='string'` would fail (GH 27953, GH 33623)

- Bug where `DataFrame` column set to scalar extension type was considered an object type rather than the extension type (GH 34832)

- Fixed bug in `IntegerArray.astype()` to correctly copy the mask as well (GH 34931).

### Other

- Set operations on an object-dtype `Index` now always return object-dtype results (GH 31401)

- Fixed `pandas.testing.assert_series_equal()` to correctly raise if the `left` argument is a different subclass with `check_series_type=True` (GH 32670).

- Getting a missing attribute in a `DataFrame.query()` or `DataFrame.eval()` string raises the correct `AttributeError` (GH 32408)

- Fixed bug in `pandas.testing.assert_series_equal()` where dtypes were checked for `Interval` and `ExtensionArray` operands when `check_dtype` was `False` (GH 32747)

- Bug in `DataFrame.__dir__()` caused a segfault when using unicode surrogates in a column name (GH 25509)

- Bug in `DataFrame.equals()` and `Series.equals()` in allowing subclasses to be equal (GH 34402).
