On behalf of the Bokeh team, I am very happy to announce the release of Bokeh 
version 0.6!

Bokeh is a Python library for visualizing large and realtime datasets on the 
web. Its goal is to provide to developers (and domain experts) with 
capabilities to easily create novel and powerful visualizations that extract 
insight from local or remote (possibly large) data sets, and to easily publish 
those visualization to the web for others to explore and interact with.

This release includes many bug fixes and improvements over our most recent 
0.5.2 release:

  * Abstract Rendering recipes for large data sets: isocontour, heatmap
  * New charts in bokeh.charts: Time Series and Categorical Heatmap
  * Full Python 3 support for bokeh-server
  * Much expanded User and Dev Guides
  * Multiple axes and ranges capability
  * Plot object graph query interface
  * Hit-testing (hover tool support) for patch glyphs

See the CHANGELOG for full details.

I'd also like to announce a new Github Organization for Bokeh: 
https://github.com/bokeh. Currently it is home to Scala and and Julia language 
bindings for Bokeh, but the Bokeh project itself will be moved there before the 
next 0.7 release.  Any implementors of new language bindings who are interested 
in hosting your project under this organization are encouraged to contact us.

In upcoming releases, you should expect to see more new layout capabilities 
(colorbar axes, better grid plots and improved annotations), additional tools, 
even more widgets and more charts, R language bindings, Blaze integration and 
cloud hosting for Bokeh apps.

Don't forget to check out the full documentation, interactive gallery, and 
tutorial at

as well as the Bokeh IPython notebook nbviewer index (including all the 
tutorials) at:

BokehJS is also available by CDN for use in standalone javascript applications:
