Incompatible changes


* sphinx_rtd_theme has become optional. Please install it manually.
* :confval:`html_extra_path` also copies dotfiles in the extra directory,
and
  refers to :confval:`exclude_patterns` to exclude extra files and
directories.
* Under glossary directive, each terms are converted into individual
``term`` nodes and ``termsep`` node is removed.
  By this change, output layout of every builders are changed a bit.
* The default highlight language is now Python 3.  This means that source
code
  is highlighted as Python 3 (which is mostly a superset of Python 2), and
no
  parsing is attempted to distinguish valid code.
* `Locale Date Markup Language
  `_
like
  ``" dd, "`` is default forma for `today_fmt` and
`html_last_updated_fmt`.
  However strftime format like ``"%B %d, %Y"`` is also supported for
backward
  compatibility until Sphinx-1.5. Later format will be disabled from
Sphinx-1.5.


What is it?
===

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful
documentation for Python projects (or other documents consisting of
multiple reStructuredText source files).

ANN: pandas v0.18.0rc1 - RELEASE CANDIDATE

[Jeff Reback]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the availability of the first release candidate of
Pandas 0.18.0.
Please try this RC and report any issues here: Pandas Issues

We will be releasing officially in 1-2 weeks or so.

**RELEASE CANDIDATE 1**

This is a major release from 0.17.1 and includes a small number of API
changes, several new features,
enhancements, and performance improvements along with a large number of bug
fixes. We recommend that all
users upgrade to this version.

Highlights include:

   - pandas >= 0.18.0 will no longer support compatibility with Python
   version 2.6 GH7718  or
   version 3.3 GH11273 
   - Moving and expanding window functions are now methods on Series and
   DataFrame similar to .groupby like objects, see here
   

   .
   - Adding support for a RangeIndex as a specialized form of the
Int64Index for
   memory savings, see here
   

   .
   - API breaking .resample changes to make it more .groupby like, see here
   

   - Removal of support for positional indexing with floats, which was
   deprecated since 0.14.0. This will now raise a TypeError, see here
   

   - The .to_xarray() function has been added for compatibility with the xarray
   package  see here
   

   .
   - Addition of the .str.extractall() method
   
,
   and API changes to the the .str.extract() method
   
,
   and the .str.cat() method
   

   - pd.test() top-level nose test runner is available GH4327
   

See the Whatsnew
 for much
more information.

Best way to get this is to install via conda

from
our development channel. Builds for osx-64,linux-64,win-64 for Python 2.7
and Python 3.5 are all available.

conda install pandas=v0.18.0rc1 -c pandas

Thanks to all who made this release happen. It is a very large release!
