Version 0.8.0

We added new functionalities, improved the documentation and fixed some bugs in the past week. Also, koalas.sql has an improvement (#448). Now Koalas DataFrame and some regular Python types can be used directly in SQL, for instance, as below:

>>> mydf = ks.range(10)
>>> x = range(4)
>>> ks.sql("SELECT * from {mydf} WHERE id IN {x}")
   id
0   0
1   1
2   2
3   3
