(#5068) Improved optimization of MatrixTable.count_cols.
(#5131) Fixed performance bug related to hl.literal on large values with missingness

(#5088) Fixed name separator in MatrixTable.make_table.
(#5104) Fixed optimizer bug related to experimental functionality.

(#5050) Short-circuit iteration in logistic_regression_rows and poisson_regression_rows if NaNs appear.

Released 2018-12-17

(#4962) Expanded comparison operators (==, !=, <, <=, >, >=) to support expressions of every type.
(#4927) Expanded functionality of Table.order_by to support ordering by arbitrary expressions, instead of just top-level fields.
(#4926) Expanded default GRCh38 contig recoding behavior in import_plink.

(#4941) Fixed variable scoping error in regression methods.
(#4857) Fixed bug in maximal_independent_set appearing when nodes were named something other than i and j.
(#4932) Fixed possible error in export_plink related to tolerance of writer process failure.
(#4920) Fixed bad error message in Table.order_by.

Released 2018-12-07

(#4845) The or_error method in hl.case and hl.switch statements now takes a string expression rather than a string literal, allowing more informative messages for errors and assertions.
(#4865) We use this new or_error functionality in methods that require biallelic variants to include an offending variant in the error message.
(#4820) Added hl.reversed for reversing arrays and strings.
(#4895) Added include_strand option to the hl.liftover function.

(#4907)(#4911) Addressed one aspect of bad scaling in enormous literal values (triggered by a list of 300,000 sample IDs) related to logging.
(#4909)(#4914) Fixed a check in Table/MatrixTable initialization that scaled O(n^2) with the total number of fields.

(#4754)(#4799) Fixed optimizer assertion errors related to certain types of pipelines using group_rows_by.
(#4888) Fixed assertion error in BlockMatrix.sum.
(#4871) Fixed possible error in locally sorting nested collections.
(#4889) Fixed break in compatibility with extremely old MatrixTable/Table files.
(#4527)(#4761) Fixed optimizer assertion error sometimes encountered with hl.split_multi[_hts].

We didn’t start manually curating information about user-facing changes until version 0.2.4.
