v0.5.0

• (Breaking) To address persistent performance issues, the definition of scitype for arrays is changed. The new behaviour only effects arrays whose eltype is a Union{Missing, _ } type. The new complete definition is:
• The scitype of an AbstractArray, A, is alwaysAbstractArray{U} where U is the union of the scitpyes of the elements of A, with one exception: If typeof(A) <: AbstractArray{Union{Missing,T}} for some T different from Any, then the scitype of A is AbstractArray{Union{Missing, U}}, where U is the union over all non-missing elements, even if A has no missing elements.

To force the old behaviour (no exception) use scitype(A, tight=true).

• (Breaking) To improve performance, the behaviour of coerce(A , S) is modified in the case of arrays whose eltype is a Union{Missing, _ } type. In these cases the return value has elscitype equal to Union{Missing, S}, even if A has no missing values. To force the old behaviour, use coerce(A, S, tight=true). Query ?coerce for details.

v0.4.0

• (Enhancement) Performance improvements for computing the scitype of arrays with missing values (#77)

• (Enhancement, mildly breaking) New scientific type Textual for text data. In the MLJ convention scitype(t) == Textual if and only if t <: AbstractString (#72, PR #77)
