Expired deprecations

• Remove deprecated Matrix.new, Vector.new, and Scalar.new constructors (#380)
  • Use e.g Matrix(...) and Vector(...) instead
• Remove deprecated require_monoid= argument in ewise_add (#377)
• Remove deprecated io.from_scipy_sparse_matrix and io.to_scipy_sparse_matrix (#393)
  • Use e.g. io.from_scipy_sparse instead

Deprecations

  • Use e.g. the new methods Vector.from_dense and Matrix.to_dense instead
  • Wil be removed in version 2023.10.0 or later

Enhancements

• Add from_dense and to_dense methods to Vector and Matrix to convert between NumPy arrays (#382)
• Add from_scalar to Vector and Matrix to create fully dense objects from a scalar (#382)
• Improve inferring sub-array dtypes when constructing objects (#381)
• .wait now returns self so it can be used with method-chaining (#379)
• Add op.is_idempotent property to Monoids that means op(x, x) == x (#388)
• Support complex dtypes on Windows (#394, #395)
  • python-suitesparse-graphblas v7.4.3.1 added support for complex on Windows (GraphBLAS/python-suitesparse-graphblas#68)
• io.to_pydata_sparse(v) now returns 1d sparse array for Vector inputs (#395)
