We closed a total of 9 issues (enhancements and bug fixes) through 4 pull requests, since our last release on 2021-01-20. The major enhancements for this release include:

• Integration of the work of @jeffcsauer's 2020 GSOC project. This adds tons of new statistical estimators, such as:
  • the local heteroskedasticity estimator, esda.LOSH
  • local geary and multivariate geary estimators, esda.Geary_Local and esda.Geary_Local_MV
  • local join counts in univariate, bivariate, and multivariate flavors, esda.Join_Counts_Local, esda.Join_Counts_Local_BV, and esda.Join_Counts_Local_MV.
• "analytical" moments for Moran's I for replication/comparison to R. Forms are provided in Sokal 1998.
