Dear Pythonistas and Solar Energy enthusiasts,

I am very happy to announce a new, major release of pvlib python, for
simulating the performance of photovoltaic solar energy systems.

please read through the release notes carefully before updating
* Python-3.5 is no longer supported, SciPy-1.2.0 is now a required
dependency, and the Pandas minimum version is now v0.22.0
* New functions for calculation of sky-diffuse irradiance, fitting PV
module IV-curve traces to single-diode model coefficients, and
accommodating terrain slope when backtracking.
* Many new contributors, bug fixes, and improvements in the documentation.
* Also coming soon, AirSpeed Velocity benchmarks. Stay tuned!

*The development team thanks you for using pvlib python!*
