Version 1.10.0#

Date: May 25, 2023

This release adds Bokeh 3 support to Geoviews, along with bug fixes and enhancements. Many thanks to @ahuang11, @maximlt, @philippjfr, and @Hoxbro.

This release also deprecates the Wikipedia tile source. If you are using this tile source, please switch to the OSM tile source instead. The Wikipedia tile source will be removed in version 1.11.0. geoviews.util.load_tiff has also been deprecated rioxarray.open_rasterio to load GeoTIFFs into a xarray.DataArray.

Note, this release has a minor breaking change where gv.feature.states defaults to fill_color=None so the fill color is transparent.

  • Add Bokeh 3 support to GeoViews (#625)

  • Add PandasAPI to GeoPandasInterface (#620)

  • Updated the default for gv.feature.states to fill_color=None (#643)
