This is the first release candidate for v0.11.0, a major release with several important new features and changes to the library.

Highlights of the new version include:

• A modernization of the distributions module, with the introduction of displot, histplot, and ecdfplot, a complete rewrite of kdeplot, and substantial enhancements to jointplot and pairplot
• Centralized input data processing allowing for both standardization and increased flexibility of long- and wide-form variable specification
• Substantial internal refactoring to support the new distributions functions and planned improvements in other modules
• Warning-based enforcement of keyword-only parameters in most functions
• New perceptually uniform colormaps and better tools for creating custom numeric color palettes
• Improvements to the narrative documentation, including user guide chapters on function types and data structures, along with better cross-linking within the seaborn docs and between the seaborn and matplotlib docs
• Numerous other targeted enhancements and bug fixes

Please test the release by installing from here or with python -m pip install --upgrade --pre seaborn
