shapely 1.6b2

1.6b2 (2016-12-12)

New features:

• Add support for GeometryCollection to shape and asShape functions (#422).

1.6b1 (2016-12-12)

Bug fixes:

• Implemented __array_interface__ for empty Points and LineStrings (#403).

1.6a3 (2016-12-01)

Bug fixes:

• Consolidation of exceptions in shapely.errors.

• UnsupportedGEOSVersionError is raised when GEOS < 3.3.0 (#407).

Packaging:

• Added new library search paths to assist Anaconda (#413).

• A new minimum_rotated_rectangle attribute has been added to the base geometry class (#354).

• A new shapely.ops.polylabel() function has been added. It computes a point suited for labeling concave polygons (#395).

• A new shapely.ops.split() function has been added. It splits a geometry by another geometry of lesser dimension: polygon by line, line by point (#293, #371).

• Polygon.from_bounds() constructs a Polygon from bounding coordinates (#392).

• Support for testing with Numpy 1.4.1 has been added (#301).

• Support creating all kinds of empty geometries from empty lists of Python objects (#397, #404).

Refactoring:

• Switch from SingleSidedBuffer() to OffsetCurve() for GEOS >= 3.3 (#270).

• Cython speedups are now enabled by default (#252).

Packaging:

• Packaging 16.7, a setup dependency, is vendorized (#314).

1.5.17 (2016-08-31)
