# SciPy 1.1.0 Release Notes

SciPy 1.1.0 is the culmination of 7 months of hard work. It contains many new features, numerous bug-fixes, improved test coverage and better documentation. There have been a number of deprecations and API changes in this release, which are documented below. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release, as there are a large number of bug-fixes and optimizations. Before upgrading, we recommend that users check that their own code does not use deprecated SciPy functionality (to do so, run your code with `python -Wd` and check for `DeprecationWarning` s). Our development attention will now shift to bug-fix releases on the 1.1.x branch, and on adding new features on the master branch.

This release requires Python 2.7 or 3.4+ and NumPy 1.8.2 or greater.

This release has improved but not necessarily 100% compatible with the PyPy Python implementation. For running on PyPy, PyPy 6.0+ and Numpy 1.15.0+ are required.

## New features

### `scipy.integrate` improvements

The argument `tfirst` has been added to the function `scipy.integrate.odeint`. This allows `odeint` to use the same user functions as `scipy.integrate.solve_ivp` and `scipy.integrate.ode` without the need for wrapping them in a function that swaps the first two arguments.

Error messages from `quad()` are now clearer.

### `scipy.linalg` improvements

The function `scipy.linalg.ldl` has been added for factorization of indefinite symmetric/hermitian matrices into triangular and block diagonal matrices.

Python wrappers for LAPACK `sygst`, `hegst` added in `scipy.linalg.lapack`.

Added `scipy.linalg.null_space`, `scipy.linalg.cdf2rdf`, `scipy.linalg.rsf2csf`.

### `scipy.misc` improvements

An electrocardiogram has been added as an example dataset for a one-dimensional signal. It can be accessed through `scipy.misc.electrocardiogram`.

### `scipy.ndimage` improvements

The routines `scipy.ndimage.binary_opening`, and `scipy.ndimage.binary_closing` now support masks and different border values.

### `scipy.optimize` improvements

The method `trust-constr` has been added to `scipy.optimize.minimize`. The method switches between two implementations depending on the problem definition. For equality-constrained problems it is an implementation of a trust-region sequential quadratic programming solver and, when inequality constraints are imposed, it switches to a trust-region interior point method. Both methods are appropriate for large scale problems. Quasi-Newton options BFGS and SR1 were implemented and can be used to approximate second-order derivatives for this new method. Also, finite-differences can be used to approximate either first-order or second-order derivatives.

Random-to-Best/1/bin and Random-to-Best/1/exp mutation strategies were added to `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution` as `randtobest1bin` and `randtobest1exp`, respectively. Note: These names were already in use but implemented a different mutation strategy. See Backwards-incompatible changes below. The `init` keyword for the `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution` function can now accept an array. This array allows the user to specify the entire population.

Added an `adaptive` option to Nelder-Mead to use step parameters adapted to the dimensionality of the problem.

Minor improvements in `scipy.optimize.basinhopping`.

### `scipy.signal` improvements

Three new functions for peak finding in one-dimensional arrays were added. `scipy.signal.find_peaks` searches for peaks (local maxima) based on simple value comparison of neighboring samples and returns those peaks whose properties match optionally specified conditions for their height, prominence, width, threshold and distance to each other. `scipy.signal.peak_prominences` and `scipy.signal.peak_widths` can directly calculate the prominences or widths of known peaks.

Added ZPK versions of frequency transformations: `scipy.signal.bilinear_zpk`, `scipy.signal.lp2bp_zpk`, `scipy.signal.lp2bs_zpk`, `scipy.signal.lp2hp_zpk`, `scipy.signal.lp2lp_zpk`.

Added `scipy.signal.windows.dpss`, `scipy.signal.windows.general_cosine` and `scipy.signal.windows.general_hamming`.

### `scipy.sparse` improvements

Previously, the `reshape` method only worked on `scipy.sparse.lil_matrix`, and in-place reshaping did not work on any matrices. Both operations are now implemented for all matrices. Handling of shapes has been made consistent with `numpy.matrix` throughout the `scipy.sparse` module (shape can be a tuple or splatted, negative number acts as placeholder, padding and unpadding dimensions of size 1 to ensure length-2 shape).

### `scipy.special` improvements

Added Owen’s T function as `scipy.special.owens_t`.

Accuracy improvements in `chndtr`, `digamma`, `gammaincinv`, `lambertw`, `zetac`.

### `scipy.stats` improvements

The Moyal distribution has been added as `scipy.stats.moyal`.

Added the normal inverse Gaussian distribution as `scipy.stats.norminvgauss`.

## Deprecated features

The iterative linear equation solvers in `scipy.sparse.linalg` had a sub-optimal way of how absolute tolerance is considered. The default behavior will be changed in a future Scipy release to a more standard and less surprising one. To silence deprecation warnings, set the `atol=` parameter explicitly.

scipy.signal.windows.slepian is deprecated, replaced by `scipy.signal.windows.dpss`.

The window functions in `scipy.signal` are now available in `scipy.signal.windows`. They will remain also available in the old location in the `scipy.signal` namespace in future Scipy versions. However, importing them from `scipy.signal.windows` is preferred, and new window functions will be added only there.

Indexing sparse matrices with floating-point numbers instead of integers is deprecated.

The function scipy.stats.itemfreq is deprecated.

## Backwards incompatible changes

Previously, `scipy.linalg.orth` used a singular value cutoff value appropriate for double precision numbers also for single-precision input. The cutoff value is now tunable, and the default has been changed to depend on the input data precision.

In previous versions of Scipy, the `randtobest1bin` and `randtobest1exp` mutation strategies in `scipy.optimize.differential_evolution` were actually implemented using the Current-to-Best/1/bin and Current-to-Best/1/exp strategies, respectively. These strategies were renamed to `currenttobest1bin` and `currenttobest1exp` and the implementations of `randtobest1bin` and `randtobest1exp` strategies were corrected.

Functions in the ndimage module now always return their output array. Before, most functions only returned the output array if it had been allocated by the function, and would return `None` if it had been provided by the user.

Distance metrics in `scipy.spatial.distance` now require non-negative weights.

`scipy.special.loggamma` now returns real-valued result when the input is real-valued.

## Other changes

When building on Linux with GNU compilers, the `.so` Python extension files now hide all symbols except those required by Python, which can avoid problems when embedding the Python interpreter.
