This release contains a number of improvements to the docs, API reference, CI/CD logic (incl. official support for Python 3.12), and other minor internal changes.

Documentation

• Misc documentation improvements (#180)
• Move changelog to ./docs/reference/changelog.md (#180)

Internals

• Migrate from setup.cfg from pyproject.toml (#176)
• Use importlib.resources to load data assets from within the package - to be PEP-302 compliant (#176)
• Enforce "strict" mypy mode (mostly improved type annotations for generic types) (#177)

CI/CD

• Add support for Python 3.12 (#182)

Breaking changes

• Dropped support for Python 3.7. (#154)

Features

• Add hoverinfo by default to the Plotly traces. (#174)

Documentation

• Use the {raw} html :file: _static/charts/<PLOT-ID>.html directive to load the interactive Plotly graphs in the generated Sphinx docs. The generated HTML artefacts only include a <div> wrapper block now and the plotly.min.js is now vendored and automatically loaded via the html_js_files Sphinx config. (#132)
• Small adjustments to the example plots in the documentation. (#132)
• Reformat markdown files, removing all line breaks. (#132)

Internals

• Define a ridgeplot._missing.MISSING sentinel object for internal use (this replaces the multiple module-level _MISSING = object() sentinels). (#154)
• Add an internal extras/ directory to place helper modules and packages used in different CI tasks. (#154 and #161)

CI/CD

• Replace isort, flake8, and pyupgrade with ruff. (#131)
• Add regression tests for the figure artifacts generated by the examples in _ridgeplot_examples. (#154)
• Remove the Python locked dependency files. (#163)

• Fix the references to the interactive Plotly IFrames
  (#129)

Deprecations

• The colormode='index' value has been deprecated in favor of colormode='row-index', which
  provides the same functionality but is more explicit and allows to distinguish between the
  'row-index' and 'trace-index' modes.
  (#114)
• The show_annotations argument has been deprecated in favor of show_yticklabels.
  (#114)
• The get_all_colorscale_names() function has been deprecated in favor of
  list_all_colorscale_names().
  (#114)

Features

• Add functionality to allow plotting of multiple traces per row.
  (#114)
• Add ridgeplot.datasets.load_lincoln_weather() helper function to load the "Lincoln Weather"
  toy dataset. (#114)
• Add more versions of the probly dataset ("wadefagen" and "illinois").
  (#114)
• Add support for Python 3.11.

Documentation

• Major update to the documentation, including more examples, interactive plots, script to
  generate the HTML and WebP images from the example scripts, improved API reference, and more.
  (#114)

Internal

• Remove mdformat from the automated CI checks. It can still be triggered manually.
  (#114)
• Improved type annotations and type checking.
  (#114)

Features

• 🔧 Add ridgeplot.datasets.load_probly() helper function to load the probly toy dataset. The
  probly.csv file is now included in the package under ridgeplot/datasets/data/.

  flake8-simplify, flake8-implicit-str-concat, flake8-bugbear, flake8-rst-docstrings,
  flake8-rst-docstrings, etc... plugins to the flake8 pre-commit hook.
