  (Issue #1175)

0.16 (2020-09-13)

  (Issue #1036, Thanks Guido Imperiale)

  np.stack([Quantity([1, 2], "m"), [3, 4]) will continue raising DimensionalityError.
  (Issue #1050, Thanks Guido Imperiale)

  SIunitx by fixing what unceratinties produces.
  (Issue #814)
- Added link to budding `pint-xarray` interface library to the docs, next to
  the link to pint-pandas. (Thanks Tom Nicholas.)

0.12 (2020-05-29)
-----------------

- Add full support for Decimal and Fraction at the registry level.
  **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  `use_decimal` is deprecated. Use `non_int_type=Decimal` when instantiating
  the registry.
- Fixed bug where numpy.pad didn't work without specifying constant_values or
  end_values (Issue #1026)


0.11 (2020-02-19)
-----------------

  (Issue #984)
- Quantities wrapping NumPy arrays will no longer warning for the changed
  array function behavior introduced in 0.10.
  (Issue #1029, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  The array protocol fallback deprecated in version 0.10 has been removed.
  (Issue #1029, Thanks Jon Thielen)

- Moved Pi to definitions files.
- Use ints (not floats) a defaults at many points in the codebase as in Python 3
  the true division is the default one.
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  Added `from_string` method to all Definitions subclasses. The value/converter
  argument of the constructor no longer accepts an string.
  It is unlikely that this change affects the end user.
- Added additional NumPy function implementations (allclose, intersect1d)
  (Issue #979, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Allow constants in units by using a leading underscore (Issue #989, Thanks
  Juan Nunez-Iglesias)

  (Issue #881, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
- Fixed __array__ signature to match numpy docs (Issue #974, Thanks Ryan May)


0.10 (2020-01-05)
-----------------

- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  Boolean value of Quantities with offsets units is ambiguous, and so, now a ValueError
  is raised when attempting to cast such a Quantity to boolean.
  (Issue #965, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  `__array_ufunc__` has been implemented on `pint.Unit` to permit
  multiplication/division by units on the right of ufunc-reliant array types (like
  Sparse) with proper respect for the type casting hierarchy. However, until [an
  upstream issue with NumPy is resolved](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/15200),
  this breaks creation of Masked Array Quantities by multiplication on the right.
  Read Pint's [NumPy support
  documentation](https://pint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/numpy.html) for more details.
  (Issues #963 and #966, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Documentation on Pint's array type compatibility has been added to the NumPy support
  page, including a graph of the duck array type casting hierarchy as understood by Pint
  for N-dimensional arrays.
  (Issue #963, Thanks Jon Thielen, Stephan Hoyer, and Guido Imperiale)
- Improved compatibility for downcast duck array types like Sparse.COO. A collection
  of basic tests has been added.
  (Issue #963, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Improvements to wraps and check:

  - fail upon decoration (not execution) by checking wrapped function signature against
    wraps/check arguments.
    (might BREAK test code)
  - wraps only accepts strings and Units (not quantities) to avoid confusion with magnitude.
    (might BREAK code not conforming to documentation)
  - when strict=True, strings that can be parsed to quantities are accepted as arguments.

- Add revolutions per second (rps)
- Improved compatibility for upcast types like xarray's DataArray or Dataset, to which
  Pint Quantities now fully defer for arithmetic and NumPy operations. A collection of
  basic tests for proper deferral has been added (for full integration tests, see
  xarray's test suite). The list of upcast types is available at
  `pint.compat.upcast_types` in the API.
  (Issue #959, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Moved docstrings to Numpy Docs
  (Issue #958)
- Added tests for immutability of the magnitude's type under common operations
  (Issue #957, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Switched test configuration to pytest and added tests of Pint's matplotlib support.
  (Issue #954, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Deprecate array protocol fallback except where explicitly defined (`__array__`,
  `__array_priority__`, `__array_function__`, `__array_ufunc__`). The fallback will
  remain until the next minor version, or if the environment variable
  `PINT_ARRAY_PROTOCOL_FALLBACK` is set to 0.
  (Issue #953, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Removed eval usage when creating UnitDefinition and PrefixDefinition from string.
  (Issue #942)

  (Issue #904)

  - https://pint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/currencies.html

  (Issue #938, Thanks Guido Imperiale)

  (Issues #929, #931, and #937, Thanks Guido Imperiale)

  e.g. pip install git+https://github.com/hgrecco/pint.git.
  (Issues #930 and #934, Thanks Guido Imperiale and KOLANICH)
- Fix HTML (Jupyter Notebook) and LateX representation of some units
  (Issues #927 / #928 / #933, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
- Fixed the definition of RKM unit as gf / tex
  (Issue #921, Thanks Giuseppe Corbelli)
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  Implement NEP-18 <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0018-array-function-protocol.html> for
  Pint Quantities. Most NumPy functions that previously stripped units when applied to
  Pint Quantities will now return Quantities with proper units (on NumPy v1.16 with
  the array_function protocol enabled or v1.17+ by default) instead of ndarrays. Any
  non-explictly-handled functions will now raise a "no implementation found" TypeError
  instead of stripping units. The previous behavior is maintained for NumPy < v1.16 and
  when the array_function protocol is disabled.
  (Issue #905, Thanks Jon Thielen and andrewgsavage)
- Implementation of NumPy ufuncs has been refactored to share common utilities with
  NumPy function implementations
  (Issue #905, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- Pint Quantities now support the `@` matrix mulitiplication operator (on NumPy v1.16+),
  as well as the `dot`, `flatten`, `astype`, and `item` methods.
  (Issue #905, Thanks Jon Thielen)
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  Fix crash when applying pprint to large sets of Units.
  DefinitionSyntaxError is now a subclass of SyntaxError (was ValueError).
  DimensionalityError and OffsetUnitCalculusError are now subclasses of TypeError (was
  ValueError).
  (Issue #915, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
- All Exceptions can now be pickled and can be accessed from the top-level package.
  (Issue #915, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
- Mark regex as raw strings to avoid unnecessary warnings.
  (Issue #913, Thanks keewis)
- Implement registry-based string preprocessing as list of callables.
  (Issues #429 and #851, thanks Jon Thielen)
- Context activation and deactivation is now instantaneous; drastically reduced memory
  footprint of a context (it used to be ~1.6MB per context; now it's a few bytes)
  (Issues #909 / #923 / #938, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
- **BREAKING CHANGE**:
  Drop support for Python < 3.6, numpy < 1.14, and uncertainties < 3.0;
  if you still need them, please install pint 0.9.
  Pint now adheres to NEP-29 <https://numpy.org/neps/nep-0029-deprecation_policy.html>
  as a rolling dependencies version policy.
  (Issues #908 and #910, Thanks Guido Imperiale)
