[johannfaouzi]

Version 0.8.0 is available on PyPI. A lot of changes have been made to the package, with no backward compatibility unfortunately (but it was necessary). The package was significantly improved, in terms of optimization, code cleaniless and documentation. Here is a summary of the changes:

• No more Python 2 support

• New package required: numba

• Updated required versions of packages

• Modification of the API:

  • quantization module merged in approximation and removed

  • bow module renamed bag_of_words

  • Fewer acronyms used for the names of the classes: if an algorithm has a name
    with three words or fewer, the whole name is used.

  • More preprocessing tools in preprocessing module

  • New module metrics with metrics specific to time series

• Improved tests using pytest tools

• Reworked documentation

• Updated continuous integration scripts

• More optimized code using numba
