 - ``Resampler`` objects now have a functioning :attr:`~pandas.core.resample.Resampler.pipe` method.
   Previously, calls to ``pipe`` were diverted to  the ``mean`` method (:issue:`17905`).
 - :func:`~pandas.api.types.is_scalar` now returns ``True`` for ``DateOffset`` objects (:issue:`18943`).
+- :class:`DataFrame` and :class:`Series` now support matrix multiplication (```@```) operator (:issue:`10259`)
