ANN: Bokeh 0.5.2 released!

[Damian Avila]

On behalf of the Bokeh team, I am very happy to announce the release of
Bokeh version 0.5.2!

Bokeh is a Python library for visualizing large and realtime datasets on
the web.
Its goal is to provide to developers (and domain experts) with capabilities
to easily create novel and powerful visualizations that extract insight
from local or remote (possibly large) data sets, and to easily publish
those visualization to the web for others to explore and interact with.

This release includes many bug fixes and improvements over our last recent
0.5.1 release:

  * New Layout system using kiwi.js constraint solver
  * Improved automated testing infrastructure
  * Abstract Rendering testing, server-side downsample fixes and ISO
Contours
  * New “dashboard-like” example:

See the CHANGELOG for full details.

In upcoming releases, you should expect to see new layout capabilities
(multiple axes, colorbar axes, better grid plots and improved annotations),
new tools, more widgets and more charts, as well as an Object Query API, R
language bindings, Blaze integration and cloud hosting for Bokeh apps.
