I'm pleased to announce the release of pandas 0.20.2.

This is a minor bug-fix release in the 0.20.x series and includes some
small regression fixes,
bug fixes, and performance improvements.

*What is it*

pandas is a Python package providing fast, flexible, and expressive  data
structures designed to make working with “relational” or “labeled” data
both easy and intuitive. It aims to be the fundamental high-level building
block for doing practical, real world data analysis in Python.
Additionally, it has the broader goal of becoming the most powerful and
flexible open source data analysis / manipulation tool available in any
language.

*How to get it*

Source tarballs and windows/mac/linux wheels are available on PyPI (thanks
to Christoph Gohlke for the windows wheels, and to Matthew Brett for
setting up the mac/linux wheels).
Conda packages are already available via the conda-forge channel (conda
install pandas -c conda-forge).
It will be available on the main channel shortly.
