v0.19.0

Breaking changes

• Updated rust-polars to unreleased 2024-08-20, after 0.42.0 (#1183).
• $describe_plan() and $describe_optimized_plan() are removed. Use
  respectively $explain(optimized = FALSE) and $explain() instead (#1182).
• The parameter inherit_optimization is removed from all functions that had it
  (#1183).
• In $write_parquet() and $sink_parquet(), the parameter data_pagesize_limit
  is renamed data_page_size (#1183).

  $set_optimization_toggle() is renamed $optimization_toggle() (#1183).
• In $unpivot(), the parameter streamable is removed (#1183).
• Some functions have a parameter future that determines the compatibility level
  when exporting Polars' internal data structures. This parameter is renamed
  compat_level, which takes FALSE for the oldest flavor (more compatible)
  and TRUE for the newest one (less compatible). It can also take an integer
  determining a specific compatibility level when more are added in the future.
  For now, future = FALSE can be replaced by compat_level = FALSE (#1183).
• In $scan_parquet() and $read_parquet(), the default value of
  hive_partitioning is now NULL (#1189).
• In $dt$epoch(), the argument tu is renamed to time_unit (#1196).
• In $fill_nan() for DataFrame, LazyFrame and Expr, the argument is
  renamed value (#1198).
• $shift_and_fill() is removed and replaced by a new argument fill_value in
  $shift(). $shift_and_fill(fill_value, periods) can be replaced by
  $shift(n, fill_value) (#1201).
• In $shift() for various Expr, the argument periods is renamed n (#1201).
• In $clip(), arguments min and max are renamed lower_bound and
  upper_bound (#1203).
• $clip_min() and $clip_max() are removed. Use $clip() with only
  lower_bound or upper_bound instead (#1203).
• In $write_csv and $sink_csv(), the argument quote is renamed
  quote_char (#1206).

New features

• New method $str$extract_many() (#1163).
• Converting a nanoarrow_array with zero rows to an RPolarsDataFrame via

• In $scan_parquet() and $read_parquet(), the parallel argument can take
  the new value "prefiltered" (#1183).
• $scan_parquet(), $scan_ipc() and $read_parquet() have a new argument
  include_file_paths to automatically add a column containing the path to the
  source file(s) (#1183).
• $scan_ipc() can read a hive-partitioned directory with its new arguments
  hive_partitioning, hive_schema, and try_parse_hive_dates (#1183).
• $scan_parquet() and $read_parquet() gain two new arguments for more control
  on importing hive partitions: hive_schema and try_parse_hive_dates (#1189).

  and replaced by .... This doesn't change the previous behavior, e.g.
  df$unnest(names = c("a", "b")) still works (#1170).

v0.18.0

Breaking changes

• Updated rust-polars to 0.41.3 (#1147, #1156).
• In $n_chunks(), the default value of strategy now is "first" (#1137).
• $sample() for Expr and DataFrame (#1136):
  • the argument frac is renamed fraction;
  • all the arguments except n must be named;
  • for the Expr method only, the first argument is now n (it was already the
    case for the DataFrame method);
  • for the Expr method only, the default value for with_replacement is now
    FALSE (it was already the case for the DataFrame method).
• $melt() had several changes (#1147):
  • melt() is renamed $unpivot().
  • Some arguments were renamed: id_vars is now index, value_vars is now
    on.
  • The order of arguments has changed: on is now first, then index. The
    order of the other arguments hasn't changed. Note that on can be unnamed
    but all the other arguments must be named.
• pivot() had several changes (#1147):
  • The argument columns is renamed on.
  • The order of arguments has changed: on is now first, then index and
    values. The order of the other arguments hasn't changed. Note that on
    can be unnamed but all the other arguments must be named.
• In $write_parquet() and $sink_parquet(), the default value of argument
  statistics is now TRUE and can take other values than TRUE/FALSE (#1147).
• In $dt$truncate() and $dt$round(), the argument offset has been removed.
  Use $dt$offset_by() after those functions instead (#1147).
• In $top_k() and $bottom_k() for Expr, the arguments nulls_last,
  maintain_order and multithreaded have been removed. If any null values
  are in the top/bottom k values, they will always be positioned last (#1147).
• $replace() has been split in two functions depending on the desired
  behaviour (#1147):
  • $replace() recodes some values in the column, leaving all other values
    unchanged. Compared to the previous version, it doesn't use the arguments
    default and return_dtype anymore.
  • $replace_strict() replaces all values by different values. If a value
    doesn't have a specific mapping, it is replaced by the default value.
• $str$concat() is deprecated, use $str$join() (with the same arguments)
  instead (#1147).
• In pl$date_range() and pl$date_ranges(), the arguments time_unit and
  time_zone have been removed. They were deprecated in previous versions
  (#1147).
• In $join(), when how = "cross", on, left_on and right_on must be
  NULL (#1147).

New features

• New method $has_nulls() (#1133).
• New method $list$explode() (#1139).
• $over() gains a new argument order_by to specify the order of values
  within each group. This is useful when the operation depends on the order of
  values, such as $shift() (#1147).
• $value_counts() gains an argument normalize to give relative frequencies
  of unique values instead of their count (#1147).

lib-v0.41.0

test: tempolary disable the test of `pl$mem_address` (#1161)

v0.17.0

Breaking changes

• Updated rust-polars to unreleased version (> 0.40.0) (#1104, #1110, #1117, #1124):
  • In $join(), there is a new argument coalesce and the how options now accept "full" instead of "outer" and "outer_coalesce".
  • $top_k() and $bottom_k() gain three arguments nulls_last, maintain_order and multithreaded.
  • All $rolling_*() functions lose the arguments by, closed and warn_if_unsorted. Rolling computations based on by must be made via the corresponding rolling_*_by(), e.g rolling_mean_by() instead of rolling_mean(by =) (#1115).
  • pl$scan_parquet() and pl$read_parquet() gain an argument glob which defaults to TRUE. Set it to FALSE to avoid considering * as a globing pattern.
  • $is_not_nan() on a null value (NA in R) now returns null. Previously, it returned TRUE.
  • In $reshape(), argument dims is renamed dimensions and there is a new argument nested_type specifying if the output should be of type List or Array.
  • In $value_counts(), all arguments must be named and there is a new argument name to specify the name of the output.
  • In all functions accepting optimization parameter (such as projection_pushdown), there is a new parameter cluster_with_columns to combine sequential independent calls to $with_columns().
  • $str$explode() is removed.
  • The check_sorted argument is removed from $rolling() and $group_by_dynamic(). Sortedness is now verified in a quick manner, so this argument is no longer needed (pola-rs/polars#16494).
  • $name$map() stacks on Linux, so this method is deprecated and the document is removed. Please use other methods like <LazyFrame>$rename(<function>) instead (#1123).
• As warned in v0.16.0, the order of arguments in pl$Series is changed (#1071). The first argument is now name, and the second argument is values.
• $to_struct() on an Expr is removed. This method is now only available for Series, DataFrame, and in the $list and $arr subnamespaces. For example, pl$col("a", "b", "c")$to_struct() should be replaced with pl$struct(c("a", "b", "c")) (#1092).
• pl$Struct() now only accepts named inputs and objects of class RPolarsField. For example, pl$Struct(pl$Boolean) doesn't work anymore and should be named like pl$Struct(a = pl$Boolean) (#1053).
• In $all() and $any(), the argument drop_nulls is renamed ignore_nulls, and this argument must be named (#1050).
• New method $struct$with_fields() (#1109) and new function pl$field() to be used in expressions in $struct$with_fields() (#1113).
• New methods for RPolarsDataType: $is_enum(), $is_categorical(), $is_known(), $is_string(), $contains_views(), $contains_categorical() (#1112).
• In $dt$combine(), the arguments tm and tu are renamed time and time_unit (#1116).
• The default value of the rechunk argument of pl$concat() is changed from TRUE to FALSE (#1125).
• In $rename() for LazyFrame and DataFrame, key-value pairs of names are changed to old_name = "new_name" instead of new_name = "old_name" (#1129).
• In $rename() for LazyFrame and DataFrame, no argument is not allowed (#1129).
• In all $rolling_*() functions, the arguments center and ddof must be named (#1115).

New features

• Allow specify a function in $rename() for LazyFrame and DataFrame. They are equivalent to polars.LazyFrame.rename(mapping: Callable[[str], str]) or polars.DataFrame.rename(mapping: Callable[[str], str]) in Python Polars (#1122, #1129).
