Summary

New Features    

• Core:
  
  • Custom icons and badges: In addition to Font Awesome 4 icon names, you can now specify your own image URLs, data URIs, flags, and custom text. They get auto-fit to their containing region and can be cropped into a circle.
• API:
  • Custom icons and badges: Supported by language-neutral REST API and the Python client
  • PyGraphistry: New convenience bindings `.nodes(df, node_col)` and `.edges(df, src_col, dst_col)` 

Docs

• Expanded complex encodings examples and schema, including for new icons and badges
• Interactive example of dynamic vanilla JS API (link)

Fixes & Tweaks 

• Investigation templates
  • Queries that use reserved columns 'id' and '__idx__' no longer have the glitch where node properties appear empty
  • (Also fixes when directly using of api=2)

Infrastructure

• RAPIDS 0.15: Including updates to pandas, pyarrow, and CUDA 10.1.2
