This is a major release from 0.22.0 and includes a number of API changes,
deprecations, new features, enhancements, and performance improvements along
with a large number of bug fixes. We recommend that all users upgrade to this
version.

.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements:

New features
~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. _whatsnew_0210.enhancements.limit_area:

``DataFrame.interpolate`` has gained the ``limit_area`` kwarg
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:meth:`DataFrame.interpolate` has gained a ``limit_area`` parameter to allow further control of which ``NaN`` s are replaced.
Use ``limit_area='inside'`` to fill only NaNs surrounded by valid values or use ``limit_area='outside'`` to fill only ``NaN`` s
outside the existing valid values while preserving those inside.  (:issue:`16284`) See the :ref:`full documentation here <missing_data.interp_limits>`.


.. ipython:: python

   ser = pd.Series([np.nan, np.nan, 5, np.nan, np.nan, np.nan, 13, np.nan, np.nan])
   ser

Fill one consecutive inside value in both directions

.. ipython:: python

   ser.interpolate(limit_direction='both', limit_area='inside', limit=1)

Fill all consecutive outside values backward

.. ipython:: python

   ser.interpolate(limit_direction='backward', limit_area='outside')

Fill all consecutive outside values in both directions

.. ipython:: python

   ser.interpolate(limit_direction='both', limit_area='outside')

.. _whatsnew_0210.enhancements.get_dummies_dtype:

``get_dummies`` now supports ``dtype`` argument
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The :func:`get_dummies` now accepts a ``dtype`` argument, which specifies a dtype for the new columns. The default remains uint8. (:issue:`18330`)

.. ipython:: python

   df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [1, 2], 'b': [3, 4], 'c': [5, 6]})
   pd.get_dummies(df, columns=['c']).dtypes
   pd.get_dummies(df, columns=['c'], dtype=bool).dtypes


.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.merge_on_columns_and_levels:

Merging on a combination of columns and index levels
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Strings passed to :meth:`DataFrame.merge` as the ``on``, ``left_on``, and ``right_on``
parameters may now refer to either column names or index level names.
This enables merging ``DataFrame`` instances on a combination of index levels
and columns without resetting indexes. See the :ref:`Merge on columns and
levels <merging.merge_on_columns_and_levels>` documentation section.
(:issue:`14355`)

.. ipython:: python

   left_index = pd.Index(['K0', 'K0', 'K1', 'K2'], name='key1')

   left = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
                        'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
                        'key2': ['K0', 'K1', 'K0', 'K1']},
                       index=left_index)

   right_index = pd.Index(['K0', 'K1', 'K2', 'K2'], name='key1')

   right = pd.DataFrame({'C': ['C0', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
                         'D': ['D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3'],
                         'key2': ['K0', 'K0', 'K0', 'K1']},
                        index=right_index)

   left.merge(right, on=['key1', 'key2'])

.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.sort_by_columns_and_levels:

Sorting by a combination of columns and index levels
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Strings passed to :meth:`DataFrame.sort_values` as the ``by`` parameter may
now refer to either column names or index level names.  This enables sorting
``DataFrame`` instances by a combination of index levels and columns without
resetting indexes. See the :ref:`Sorting by Indexes and Values
<basics.sort_indexes_and_values>` documentation section.
(:issue:`14353`)

.. ipython:: python

   # Build MultiIndex
   idx = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('a', 1), ('a', 2), ('a', 2),
                                    ('b', 2), ('b', 1), ('b', 1)])
   idx.names = ['first', 'second']

   # Build DataFrame
   df_multi = pd.DataFrame({'A': np.arange(6, 0, -1)},
                           index=idx)
   df_multi

   # Sort by 'second' (index) and 'A' (column)
   df_multi.sort_values(by=['second', 'A'])

.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.timedelta_mod:

Timedelta mod method
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``mod`` (%) and ``divmod`` operations are now defined on ``Timedelta`` objects
when operating with either timedelta-like or with numeric arguments.
See the :ref:`documentation here <timedeltas.mod_divmod>`. (:issue:`19365`)

.. ipython:: python

    td = pd.Timedelta(hours=37)
    td % pd.Timedelta(minutes=45)

.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.ran_inf:

``.rank()`` handles ``inf`` values when ``NaN`` are present
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In previous versions, ``.rank()`` would assign ``inf`` elements ``NaN`` as their ranks. Now ranks are calculated properly. (:issue:`6945`)

.. ipython:: python

    s = pd.Series([-np.inf, 0, 1, np.nan, np.inf])
    s

Previous Behavior:

.. code-block:: ipython

    In [11]: s.rank()
    Out[11]:
    0    1.0
    1    2.0
    2    3.0
    3    NaN
    4    NaN
    dtype: float64

Current Behavior:

.. ipython:: python

    s.rank()

Furthermore, previously if you rank ``inf`` or ``-inf`` values together with ``NaN`` values, the calculation won't distinguish ``NaN`` from infinity when using 'top' or 'bottom' argument.

.. ipython:: python

    s = pd.Series([np.nan, np.nan, -np.inf, -np.inf])
    s

Previous Behavior:

.. code-block:: ipython

    In [15]: s.rank(na_option='top')
    Out[15]:
    0    2.5
    1    2.5
    2    2.5
    3    2.5
    dtype: float64

Current Behavior:

.. ipython:: python

    s.rank(na_option='top')

.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.round-trippable_json:

JSON read/write round-trippable with ``orient='table'``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A ``DataFrame`` can now be written to and subsequently read back via JSON while preserving metadata through usage of the ``orient='table'`` argument (see :issue:`18912` and :issue:`9146`). Previously, none of the available ``orient`` values guaranteed the preservation of dtypes and index names, amongst other metadata.

.. ipython:: python

   df = pd.DataFrame({'foo': [1, 2, 3, 4],
		      'bar': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'],
		      'baz': pd.date_range('2018-01-01', freq='d', periods=4),
		      'qux': pd.Categorical(['a', 'b', 'c', 'c'])
		      }, index=pd.Index(range(4), name='idx'))
   df
   df.dtypes
   df.to_json('test.json', orient='table')
   new_df = pd.read_json('test.json', orient='table')
   new_df
   new_df.dtypes

Please note that the string `index` is not supported with the round trip format, as it is used by default in ``write_json`` to indicate a missing index name.

.. ipython:: python
   :okwarning:

   df.index.name = 'index'

   df.to_json('test.json', orient='table')
   new_df = pd.read_json('test.json', orient='table')
   new_df
   new_df.dtypes

.. ipython:: python
   :suppress:

   import os
   os.remove('test.json')


.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.assign_dependent:


``.assign()`` accepts dependent arguments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The :func:`DataFrame.assign` now accepts dependent keyword arguments for python version later than 3.6 (see also `PEP 468
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0468/>`_). Later keyword arguments may now refer to earlier ones if the argument is a callable. See the
:ref:`documentation here <dsintro.chained_assignment>` (:issue:`14207`)

.. ipython:: python

    df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3]})
    df
    df.assign(B=df.A, C=lambda x:x['A']+ x['B'])

.. warning::

  This may subtly change the behavior of your code when you're
  using ``.assign()`` to update an existing column. Previously, callables
  referring to other variables being updated would get the "old" values

  Previous Behavior:

  .. code-block:: ipython

      In [2]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3]})

      In [3]: df.assign(A=lambda df: df.A + 1, C=lambda df: df.A * -1)
      Out[3]:
         A  C
      0  2 -1
      1  3 -2
      2  4 -3

  New Behavior:

  .. ipython:: python

      df.assign(A=df.A+1, C= lambda df: df.A* -1)


.. _whatsnew_0230.enhancements.astype_category:

``DataFrame.astype`` performs column-wise conversion to ``Categorical``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:meth:`DataFrame.astype` can now perform column-wise conversion to ``Categorical`` by supplying the string ``'category'`` or
a :class:`~pandas.api.types.CategoricalDtype`. Previously, attempting this would raise a ``NotImplementedError``. See the
:ref:`categorical.objectcreation` section of the documentation for more details and examples. (:issue:`12860`, :issue:`18099`)

Supplying the string ``'category'`` performs column-wise conversion, with only labels appearing in a given column set as categories:

.. ipython:: python

    df = pd.DataFrame({'A': list('abca'), 'B': list('bccd')})
    df = df.astype('category')
    df['A'].dtype
    df['B'].dtype


Supplying a ``CategoricalDtype`` will make the categories in each column consistent with the supplied dtype:

.. ipython:: python

    from pandas.api.types import CategoricalDtype
    df = pd.DataFrame({'A': list('abca'), 'B': list('bccd')})
    cdt = CategoricalDtype(categories=list('abcd'), ordered=True)
    df = df.astype(cdt)
    df['A'].dtype
    df['B'].dtype

.. _whatsnew_023.enhancements.extension:

Extending Pandas with Custom Types
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Pandas now supports storing array-like objects that aren't necessarily 1-D NumPy
arrays as columns in a DataFrame or values in a Series. This allows third-party
libraries to implement extensions to NumPy's types, similar to how pandas
implemented categoricals, datetimes with timezones, periods, and intervals.

As a demonstration, we'll use cyberpandas_, which provides an ``IPArray`` type
for storing ip addresses.

.. code-block:: ipython

   In [1]: from cyberpandas import IPArray

   In [2]: values = IPArray([
      ...:     0,
      ...:     3232235777,
      ...:     42540766452641154071740215577757643572
      ...: ])
      ...:
      ...:

``IPArray`` isn't a normal 1-D NumPy array, but because it's a pandas
``ExtensionArray``, it can be stored properly inside pandas' containers.

.. code-block:: ipython

   In [3]: ser = pd.Series(values)
      ...:

   In [4]: ser
   Out[4]:
   0                         0.0.0.0
   1                     192.168.1.1
   2    2001:db8:85a3::8a2e:370:7334
   dtype: ip

Notice that the dtype is ``ip``. The missing value semantics of the underlying
array are respected:

   In [5]: ser.isna()
      ...:
   Out[5]:
   0     True
   1    False
   2    False
   dtype: bool

For more, see the :ref:`extension types <extending.extension-types>`
documentation. If you build an extension array, publicize it on our
:ref:`ecosystem page <ecosystem.extensions>`.

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking:

Backwards incompatible API changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.deps:

Dependencies have increased minimum versions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We have updated our minimum supported versions of dependencies (:issue:`15184`).
If installed, we now require:

+-----------------+-----------------+----------+---------------+
| Package         | Minimum Version | Required |     Issue     |
+=================+=================+==========+===============+
| python-dateutil | 2.5.0           |    X     | :issue:`15184`|

+-----------------+-----------------+----------+---------------+

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.dict_insertion_order:

Instantation from dicts preserves dict insertion order for python 3.6+
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Until Python 3.6, dicts in Python had no formally defined ordering. For Python
version 3.6 and later, dicts are ordered by insertion order, see
`PEP 468 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0468/>`_.
Pandas will use the dict's insertion order, when creating a ``Series`` or
``DataFrame`` from a dict and you're using Python version 3.6 or
higher. (:issue:`19884`)

Previous Behavior (and current behavior if on Python < 3.6):

.. code-block:: ipython

   In [1]: pd.Series({'Income': 2000,
   ...                'Expenses': -1500,
   ...                'Taxes': -200,
   ...                'Net result': 300})
   Expenses     -1500
   Income        2000
   Net result     300
   Taxes         -200
   dtype: int64

Note the Series above is ordered alphabetically by the index values.

New Behavior (for Python >= 3.6):

.. ipython:: python

    pd.Series({'Income': 2000,
               'Expenses': -1500,
               'Taxes': -200,
               'Net result': 300})

Notice that the Series is now ordered by insertion order. This new behavior is
used for all relevant pandas types (``Series``, ``DataFrame``, ``SparseSeries``
and ``SparseDataFrame``).

If you wish to retain the old behavior while using Python >= 3.6, you can use
``.sort_index()``:

.. ipython:: python

    pd.Series({'Income': 2000,
               'Expenses': -1500,
               'Taxes': -200,
               'Net result': 300}).sort_index()

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.deprecate_panel:

Deprecate Panel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

``Panel`` was deprecated in the 0.20.x release, showing as a ``DeprecationWarning``. Using ``Panel`` will now show a ``FutureWarning``. The recommended way to represent 3-D data are
with a ``MultiIndex`` on a ``DataFrame`` via the :meth:`~Panel.to_frame` or with the `xarray package <http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/>`__. Pandas
provides a :meth:`~Panel.to_xarray` method to automate this conversion. For more details see :ref:`Deprecate Panel <dsintro.deprecate_panel>` documentation. (:issue:`13563`, :issue:`18324`).

.. ipython:: python
   :okwarning:

   p = tm.makePanel()
   p

Convert to a MultiIndex DataFrame

.. ipython:: python

   p.to_frame()

Convert to an xarray DataArray

.. ipython:: python
   :okwarning:

   p.to_xarray()



.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.core_common:

pandas.core.common removals
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following error & warning messages are removed from ``pandas.core.common`` (:issue:`13634`, :issue:`19769`):

- ``PerformanceWarning``
- ``UnsupportedFunctionCall``
- ``UnsortedIndexError``
- ``AbstractMethodError``

These are available from import from ``pandas.errors`` (since 0.19.0).


.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.apply:

Changes to make output of ``DataFrame.apply`` consistent
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

:func:`DataFrame.apply` was inconsistent when applying an arbitrary user-defined-function that returned a list-like with ``axis=1``. Several bugs and inconsistencies
are resolved. If the applied function returns a Series, then pandas will return a DataFrame; otherwise a Series will be returned, this includes the case
where a list-like (e.g. ``tuple`` or ``list`` is returned) (:issue:`16353`, :issue:`17437`, :issue:`17970`, :issue:`17348`, :issue:`17892`, :issue:`18573`,
:issue:`17602`, :issue:`18775`, :issue:`18901`, :issue:`18919`).

.. ipython:: python

    df = pd.DataFrame(np.tile(np.arange(3), 6).reshape(6, -1) + 1, columns=['A', 'B', 'C'])
    df

Previous Behavior: if the returned shape happened to match the length of original columns, this would return a ``DataFrame``.
If the return shape did not match, a ``Series`` with lists was returned.

.. code-block:: python

   In [3]: df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2, 3], axis=1)
   Out[3]:
      A  B  C
   0  1  2  3
   1  1  2  3
   2  1  2  3
   3  1  2  3
   4  1  2  3
   5  1  2  3

   In [4]: df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2], axis=1)
   Out[4]:
   0    [1, 2]
   1    [1, 2]
   2    [1, 2]
   3    [1, 2]
   4    [1, 2]
   5    [1, 2]
   dtype: object


New Behavior: When the applied function returns a list-like, this will now *always* return a ``Series``.

.. ipython:: python

    df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2, 3], axis=1)
    df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2], axis=1)

To have expanded columns, you can use ``result_type='expand'``

.. ipython:: python

    df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2, 3], axis=1, result_type='expand')

To broadcast the result across the original columns (the old behaviour for
list-likes of the correct length), you can use ``result_type='broadcast'``.
The shape must match the original columns.

.. ipython:: python

    df.apply(lambda x: [1, 2, 3], axis=1, result_type='broadcast')

Returning a ``Series`` allows one to control the exact return structure and column names:

.. ipython:: python

    df.apply(lambda x: Series([1, 2, 3], index=['D', 'E', 'F']), axis=1)


.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.build_changes:

Build Changes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Building pandas for development now requires ``cython >= 0.24`` (:issue:`18613`)

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.index_division_by_zero:

Index Division By Zero Fills Correctly
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Division operations on ``Index`` and subclasses will now fill division of positive numbers by zero with ``np.inf``, division of negative numbers by zero with ``-np.inf`` and `0 / 0` with ``np.nan``.  This matches existing ``Series`` behavior. (:issue:`19322`, :issue:`19347`)

Previous Behavior:

.. code-block:: ipython

    In [6]: index = pd.Int64Index([-1, 0, 1])

    In [7]: index / 0
    Out[7]: Int64Index([0, 0, 0], dtype='int64')

    # Previous behavior yielded different results depending on the type of zero in the divisor
    In [8]: index / 0.0
    Out[8]: Float64Index([-inf, nan, inf], dtype='float64')

    In [9]: index = pd.UInt64Index([0, 1])

    In [10]: index / np.array([0, 0], dtype=np.uint64)
    Out[10]: UInt64Index([0, 0], dtype='uint64')

    In [11]: pd.RangeIndex(1, 5) / 0
    ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero

Current Behavior:

.. ipython:: python

    index = pd.Int64Index([-1, 0, 1])
    # division by zero gives -infinity where negative, +infinity where positive, and NaN for 0 / 0
    index / 0

    # The result of division by zero should not depend on whether the zero is int or float
    index / 0.0

    index = pd.UInt64Index([0, 1])
    index / np.array([0, 0], dtype=np.uint64)

    pd.RangeIndex(1, 5) / 0

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.extract:

Extraction of matching patterns from strings
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

By default, extracting matching patterns from strings with :func:`str.extract` used to return a
``Series`` if a single group was being extracted (a ``DataFrame`` if more than one group was
extracted``). As of Pandas 0.23.0 :func:`str.extract` always returns a ``DataFrame``, unless
``expand`` is set to ``False``. Finallay, ``None`` was an accepted value for
the ``expand`` parameter (which was equivalent to ``False``), but now raises a ``ValueError``. (:issue:`11386`)

Previous Behavior:

.. code-block:: ipython

    In [1]: s = pd.Series(['number 10', '12 eggs'])

    In [2]: extracted = s.str.extract('.*(\d\d).*')

    In [3]: extracted
    Out [3]:
    0    10
    1    12
    dtype: object

    In [4]: type(extracted)
    Out [4]:
    pandas.core.series.Series

New Behavior:

.. ipython:: python

    s = pd.Series(['number 10', '12 eggs'])
    extracted = s.str.extract('.*(\d\d).*')
    extracted
    type(extracted)

To restore previous behavior, simply set ``expand`` to ``False``:

.. ipython:: python

    s = pd.Series(['number 10', '12 eggs'])
    extracted = s.str.extract('.*(\d\d).*', expand=False)
    extracted
    type(extracted)

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.cdt_ordered:

Default value for the ``ordered`` parameter of ``CategoricalDtype``
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The default value of the ``ordered`` parameter for :class:`~pandas.api.types.CategoricalDtype` has changed from ``False`` to ``None`` to allow updating of ``categories`` without impacting ``ordered``.  Behavior should remain consistent for downstream objects, such as :class:`Categorical` (:issue:`18790`)

In previous versions, the default value for the ``ordered`` parameter was ``False``.  This could potentially lead to the ``ordered`` parameter unintentionally being changed from ``True`` to ``False`` when users attempt to update ``categories`` if ``ordered`` is not explicitly specified, as it would silently default to ``False``.  The new behavior for ``ordered=None`` is to retain the existing value of ``ordered``.

New Behavior:

.. ipython:: python

    from pandas.api.types import CategoricalDtype
    cat = pd.Categorical(list('abcaba'), ordered=True, categories=list('cba'))
    cat
    cdt = CategoricalDtype(categories=list('cbad'))
    cat.astype(cdt)

Notice in the example above that the converted ``Categorical`` has retained ``ordered=True``.  Had the default value for ``ordered`` remained as ``False``, the converted ``Categorical`` would have become unordered, despite ``ordered=False`` never being explicitly specified.  To change the value of ``ordered``, explicitly pass it to the new dtype, e.g. ``CategoricalDtype(categories=list('cbad'), ordered=False)``.

Note that the unintenional conversion of ``ordered`` discussed above did not arise in previous versions due to separate bugs that prevented ``astype`` from doing any type of category to category conversion (:issue:`10696`, :issue:`18593`).  These bugs have been fixed in this release, and motivated changing the default value of ``ordered``.

.. _whatsnew_0230.api_breaking.pretty_printing:

Better pretty-printing of DataFrames in a terminal
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Previously, the default value for the maximum number of columns was
``pd.options.display.max_columns=20``. This meant that relatively wide data
frames would not fit within the terminal width, and pandas would introduce line
breaks to display these 20 columns. This resulted in an output that was
relatively difficult to read:

.. image:: _static/print_df_old.png

If Python runs in a terminal, the maximum number of columns is now determined
automatically so that the printed data frame fits within the current terminal
width (``pd.options.display.max_columns=0``) (:issue:`17023`). If Python runs
as a Jupyter kernel (such as the Jupyter QtConsole or a Jupyter notebook, as
well as in many IDEs), this value cannot be inferred automatically and is thus
set to `20` as in previous versions. In a terminal, this results in a much
nicer output:

.. image:: _static/print_df_new.png

Note that if you don't like the new default, you can always set this option
yourself. To revert to the old setting, you can run this line:

.. code-block:: python

  pd.options.display.max_columns = 20

.. _whatsnew_0230.api.datetimelike:

Documentation Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks to all of the contributors who participated in the Pandas Documentation
Sprint, which took place on March 10th. We had about 500 participants from over
30 locations across the world. You should notice that many of the
:ref:`API docstrings <api>` have greatly improved.

There were too many simultaneous contributions to include a release note for each
improvement, but this `GitHub search`_ should give you an idea of how many docstrings
were improved.

Special thanks to Marc Garcia for organizing the sprint. For more information,
read the `NumFOCUS blogpost`_ recapping the sprint.

.. _whatsnew_0230.bug_fixes:

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~

Categorical
^^^^^^^^^^^

.. warning::

   A class of bugs were introduced in pandas 0.21 with ``CategoricalDtype`` that
   affects the correctness of operations like ``merge``, ``concat``, and
   indexing when comparing multiple unordered ``Categorical`` arrays that have
   the same categories, but in a different order. We highly recommend upgrading
   or manually aligning your categories before doing these operations.

- Bug in ``Categorical.equals`` returning the wrong result when comparing two
  unordered ``Categorical`` arrays with the same categories, but in a different
  order (:issue:`16603`)
- Bug in :func:`pandas.api.types.union_categoricals` returning the wrong result
  when for unordered categoricals with the categories in a different order.
  This affected :func:`pandas.concat` with Categorical data (:issue:`19096`).
- Bug in :func:`pandas.merge` returning the wrong result when joining on an
  unordered ``Categorical`` that had the same categories but in a different
  order (:issue:`19551`)
- Bug in :meth:`CategoricalIndex.get_indexer` returning the wrong result when
  ``target`` was an unordered ``Categorical`` that had the same categories as
  ``self`` but in a different order (:issue:`19551`)
- Bug in :meth:`Index.astype` with a categorical dtype where the resultant index is not converted to a :class:`CategoricalIndex` for all types of index (:issue:`18630`)
- Bug in :meth:`Series.astype` and ``Categorical.astype()`` where an existing categorical data does not get updated (:issue:`10696`, :issue:`18593`)
- Bug in :meth:`Series.str.split` with ``expand=True`` incorrectly raising an IndexError on empty strings (:issue:`20002`).
- Bug in :class:`Index` constructor with ``dtype=CategoricalDtype(...)`` where ``categories`` and ``ordered`` are not maintained (issue:`19032`)
- Bug in :class:`Series` constructor with scalar and ``dtype=CategoricalDtype(...)`` where ``categories`` and ``ordered`` are not maintained (issue:`19565`)
- Bug in ``Categorical.__iter__`` not converting to Python types (:issue:`19909`)
- Bug in :func:`pandas.factorize` returning the unique codes for the ``uniques``. This now returns a ``Categorical`` with the same dtype as the input (:issue:`19721`)
- Bug in :func:`pandas.factorize` including an item for missing values in the ``uniques`` return value (:issue:`19721`)

Datetimelike
^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Bug in :func:`Series.__sub__` subtracting a non-nanosecond ``np.datetime64`` object from a ``Series`` gave incorrect results (:issue:`7996`)
- Bug in :class:`DatetimeIndex`, :class:`TimedeltaIndex` addition and subtraction of zero-dimensional integer arrays gave incorrect results (:issue:`19012`)
- Bug in :class:`DatetimeIndex` and :class:`TimedeltaIndex` where adding or subtracting an array-like of ``DateOffset`` objects either raised (``np.array``, ``pd.Index``) or broadcast incorrectly (``pd.Series``) (:issue:`18849`)
- Bug in :func:`Series.__add__` adding Series with dtype ``timedelta64[ns]`` to a timezone-aware ``DatetimeIndex`` incorrectly dropped timezone information (:issue:`13905`)
