+- ``round`` now accepts an ``out`` argument to maintain compatibility with numpy's ``round`` function (:issue:`12600`)
 - Bug in ``Period`` and ``PeriodIndex`` creation raises ``KeyError`` if ``freq="Minute"`` is specified. Note that "Minute" freq is deprecated in v0.17.0, and recommended to use ``freq="T"`` instead (:issue:`11854`)
 - Bug in printing data which contains ``Period`` with different ``freq`` raises ``ValueError`` (:issue:`12615`)
 - Bug in ``Series`` construction with ``Categorical`` and ``dtype='category'`` is specified (:issue:`12574`)
