v0.3.0

v0.3.0

This is the long overdue v0.3.0 release of datalab, which coincides with many new deployments popping up. It is strongly recommended to upgrade and continue to keep up-to-date with releases as they come out. There are no intentional breaking changes between this release and the previous release candidates, so please report any issues you come across on the GitHub issue tracker.

Thanks to new contributor @elbee99 who has added support for Raman spectroscopy, plus new contributors with as-of-yet unreleased changes!
