Shapely 1.7.0
At long last, Shapely 1.7.0 is done. We have wheels on PyPI, wheels that include GEOS 3.8.0, wheels for Manylinux1, OS X, and Windows. The changes since 1.6.4 are all listed in the change log.
There are now 96 people named in Shapely's credits. Special 1.7.0 thanks to Joris Van den Bossche and the GeoPandas project for pre-release testing and to Mike Taves for putting the finishing touches on the project's AppVeyor configuration and Windows wheel building infrastructure.
Stay tuned for more news.
