 Our core interpolation methods are inspired by machine-learning.
 As such, Verde implements an interface that is similar to the popular

+Version 1.8.0
+-------------
+

+
+.. warning::
+
+    **Verde v1.8.0 is the last release that is compatible with Python 3.6.**
+
+Deprecations:
+
+* Deprecate the ``engine`` argument of ``Spline/SplineCV`` (`#373 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/373>`__)
+* Deprecate the ``engine`` argument in ``VectorSpline2D`` (`#410 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/410>`__)
+* Deprecate ``verde.ScipyGridder`` in favor of the new ``Linear/Cubic/KNeighbors`` (`#393 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/393>`__)
+* Deprecate the ``scatter`` method of all interpolators (`#357 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/357>`__)
+* Undo deprecation of region/spacing/shape in the ``grid`` method (`#394 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/394>`__)
+* Undo deprecation of ``verde.VectorSpline2D`` (`#385 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/385>`__)
+
+New features:
+
+* New interpolator ``verde.KNeighbors`` class for nearest neighbor interpolation (`#378 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/378>`__)
+* New interpolator ``verde.Cubic`` gridder class based on SciPy (`#374 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/374>`__)
+* New interpolator ``verde.Linear`` gridder class based on SciPy (`#372 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/372>`__)
+* New function ``verde.line_coordinates``, a 1D version of ``verde.grid_coordinates`` (`#390 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/390>`__)
+* New ``scoring`` parameter for ``verde.SplineCV`` to specify the scoring function (`#380 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/380>`__)
+
+Improvements:
+
+* Remove the need for ``mindist`` in ``verde.Spline`` by using a better Green's function for small distances (`#401 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/401>`__)
+* Fix behavior of coordinate generation in ``verde.line_coordinates`` if ``spacing >= 2 * interval`` (`#406 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/406>`__)

+* Add missing matplotlib scraper for sphinx-gallery (`#389 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/389>`__)
+* Use PyGMT instead of Cartopy in the ``verde.Chain`` tutorial (`#386 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/386>`__)
+* Use Markdown for the README instead of RST (`#366 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/366>`__)
+
+Maintenance:
+
+* Drop support for Python 3.6 (`#364 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/364>`__)
+* Fail CI if codecov upload fails (`#409 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/409>`__)
+* More informative warning messages by setting ``stacklevel=2`` (`#407 <https://github.com/fatiando/verde/pull/407>`__)
