# What’s new in 1.5.3 (January 18, 2023)

These are the changes in pandas 1.5.3. See Release notes for a full changelog including other versions of pandas.

## Fixed regressions

- Fixed performance regression in `Series.isin()` when `values` is empty (GH 49839)

- Fixed regression in `DataFrame.memory_usage()` showing unnecessary `FutureWarning` when `DataFrame` is empty (GH 50066)

- Fixed regression in `DataFrameGroupBy.transform()` when used with `as_index=False` (GH 49834)

- Enforced reversion of `color` as an alias for `c` and `size` as an alias for `s` in function `DataFrame.plot.scatter()` (GH 49732)

- Fixed regression in `SeriesGroupBy.apply()` setting a `name` attribute on the result if the result was a `DataFrame` (GH 49907)

- Fixed performance regression in setting with the `at()` indexer (GH 49771)

- Fixed regression in `to_datetime()` raising `ValueError` when parsing array of `float` containing `np.nan` (GH 50237)

## Bug fixes

- Bug in the Copy-on-Write implementation losing track of views when indexing a `DataFrame` with another `DataFrame` (GH 50630)

- Bug in `Styler.to_excel()` leading to error when unrecognized `border-style` (e.g. `"hair"`) provided to Excel writers (GH 48649)

- Bug in `Series.quantile()` emitting warning from NumPy when `Series` has only `NA` values (GH 50681)

- Bug when chaining several `Styler.concat()` calls, only the last styler was concatenated (GH 49207)

- Fixed bug when instantiating a `DataFrame` subclass inheriting from `typing.Generic` that triggered a `UserWarning` on python 3.11 (GH 49649)

- Bug in `pivot_table()` with NumPy 1.24 or greater when the `DataFrame` columns has nested elements (GH 50342)

- Bug in `pandas.testing.assert_series_equal()` (and equivalent `assert_` functions) when having nested data and using numpy >= 1.25 (GH 50360)

## Other

Note

If you are using `DataFrame.to_sql()`, `read_sql()`, `read_sql_table()`, or `read_sql_query()` with SQLAlchemy 1.4.46 or greater, you may see a `sqlalchemy.exc.RemovedIn20Warning`. These warnings can be safely ignored for the SQLAlchemy 1.4.x releases as pandas works toward compatibility with SQLAlchemy 2.0.

- Reverted deprecation (GH 45324) of behavior of `Series.__getitem__()` and `Series.__setitem__()` slicing with an integer `Index`; this will remain positional (GH 49612)

- A `FutureWarning` raised when attempting to set values inplace with `DataFrame.loc()` or `DataFrame.iloc()` has been changed to a `DeprecationWarning` (GH 48673)
