doc/whatsnew/v0.12.1.rst
This is an incremental release that is a recommended upgrade for all users. It addresses a handful of bugs / regressions in v0.12.0 and adds several features and enhancements to the new :doc:objects interface </tutorial/objects_interface>.
|Feature| Added the :class:objects.Text mark (:pr:3051).
|Feature| Added the :class:objects.Dash mark (:pr:3074).
|Feature| Added the :class:objects.Perc stat (:pr:3063).
|Feature| Added the :class:objects.Count stat (:pr:3086).
|Feature| The :class:objects.Band and :class:objects.Range marks will now cover the full extent of the data if min / max variables are not explicitly assigned or added in a transform (:pr:3056).
|Enhancement| |Defaults| The :class:objects.Jitter move now applies a small amount of jitter by default (:pr:3066).
|Enhancement| |Defaults| Axes with a :class:objects.Nominal scale now appear like categorical axes in classic seaborn, with fixed margins, no grid, and an inverted y axis (:pr:3069).
|Enhancement| |API| The :meth:objects.Continuous.label method now accepts base=None to override the default formatter with a log transform (:pr:3087).
|Enhancement| |Fix| Marks that sort along the orient axis (e.g. :class:objects.Line) now use a stable algorithm (:pr:3064).
|Enhancement| |Fix| Added a label parameter to :func:pointplot, which addresses a regression in 0.12.0 when :func:pointplot is passed to :class:FacetGrid (:pr:3016).
|Fix| Fixed a bug that caused an exception when more than two layers with the same mappings were added to :class:objects.Plot (:pr:3055).
|Fix| Made :class:objects.PolyFit robust to missing data (:pr:3010).
|Fix| Fixed a bug in :class:objects.Plot that occurred when data assigned to the orient coordinate had zero variance (:pr:3084).
|Fix| Fixed a regression in :func:kdeplot where passing cmap for an unfilled bivariate plot would raise an exception (:pr:3065).
|Fix| Addressed a performance regression in :func:lineplot with a large number of unique x values (:pr:3081).
|Build| Seaborn no longer contains doctest-style examples, simplifying the testing infrastructure (:pr:3034).
