Bug fixes#

• Fixed a bug in failing to compute rolling computations of a column-MultiIndexed DataFrame (GH 16789, GH 16825)
• Fixed a pytest marker failing downstream packages’ tests suites (GH 16680)

Conversion#

• Bug in pickle compat prior to the v0.20.x series, when UTC is a timezone in a Series/DataFrame/Index (GH 16608)
• Bug in Series construction when passing a Series with dtype='category' (GH 16524).
• Bug in DataFrame.astype() when passing a Series as the dtype kwarg. (GH 16717).

Indexing#

• Bug in Float64Index causing an empty array instead of None to be returned from .get(np.nan) on a Series whose index did not contain any NaN s (GH 8569)
• Bug in MultiIndex.isin causing an error when passing an empty iterable (GH 16777)
• Fixed a bug in a slicing DataFrame/Series that have a TimedeltaIndex (GH 16637)

IO#

• Bug in read_csv() in which files weren’t opened as binary files by the C engine on Windows, causing EOF characters mid-field, which would fail (GH 16039, GH 16559, GH 16675)
• Bug in read_hdf() in which reading a Series saved to an HDF file in ‘fixed’ format fails when an explicit mode='r' argument is supplied (GH 16583)
• Bug in DataFrame.to_latex() where bold_rows was wrongly specified to be True by default, whereas in reality row labels remained non-bold whatever parameter provided. (GH 16707)
• Fixed an issue with DataFrame.style() where generated element ids were not unique (GH 16780)
• Fixed loading a DataFrame with a PeriodIndex, from a format='fixed' HDFStore, in Python 3, that was written in Python 2 (GH 16781)

Plotting#

• Fixed regression that prevented RGB and RGBA tuples from being used as color arguments (GH 16233)
• Fixed an issue with DataFrame.plot.scatter() that incorrectly raised a KeyError when categorical data is used for plotting (GH 16199)

Reshaping#

• PeriodIndex / TimedeltaIndex.join was missing the sort= kwarg (GH 16541)
• Bug in joining on a MultiIndex with a category dtype for a level (GH 16627).
• Bug in merge() when merging/joining with multiple categorical columns (GH 16767)

Categorical#

• Bug in DataFrame.sort_values not respecting the kind parameter with categorical data (GH 16793)
