v0.9.1
------
2022-02-15

This release provides partial backward compatibility to the 0.8 series.
The 0.9.0 release introduced restrictions on positional arguments to many functions, requiring
parameters to be passed by keyword arguments instead.
In 0.9.1, positional parameters now trigger warnings instead of errors, so 0.8-compatible code should work again.


Additional changes:

- `#1448`_ Documentation for `librosa.effects.trim` and `librosa.effects.split` has been corrected to reflect a semantic change in the `ref` parameter introduced by `#1130`_.
  Explicit `ref` values now measure amplitude rather than power.

API changes and compatibility
  - The following functions have permanently moved:
        - `core.peak_peak` to `util.peak_pick`
        - `core.localmax` to `util.localmax`
        - `feature.sync` to `util.sync`

  - The following functions, classes, and constants have been removed:
        - `core.ifptrack`
        - `feature.chromagram`
        - `feature.logfsgram`
        - `filters.logfrequency`
        - `output.frames_csv`
        - `segment.structure_Feature`
        - `display.time_ticks`
        - `util.FeatureExtractor`
        - `util.buf_to_int`
        - `util.SMALL_FLOAT`

  - The following parameters have been removed:
        - `librosa.cqt`: `resolution`
        - `librosa.cqt`: `aggregate`
        - `feature.chroma_cqt`: `mode`
        - `onset_strength`: `centering`

  - Seaborn integration has been removed, and the `display` submodule now requires matplotlib >= 1.5.
        - The `use_sns` argument has been removed from `display.cmap`
        - `magma` is now the default sequential colormap.

  - The `librosa.display` module has been rewritten.
        - `librosa.display.specshow` now plots using `pcolormesh`, and supports non-uniform time and frequency axes.
        - All plots can be rendered in natural coordinates (e.g., time or Hz)
        - Interactive plotting is now supported via ticker and formatter objects

  - `librosa.decompose.hpss` with `mask=True` now returns soft masks, rather than binary masks.

  - `librosa.filters.get_window` wraps `scipy.signal.get_window`, and handles generic callables as well pre-registered
    window functions.  All windowed analyses (e.g., `stft`, `cqt`, or `tempogram`) now support the full range
    of window functions and parameteric windows via tuple parameters, e.g., `window=('kaiser', 4.0)`.
        
  - `stft` windows are now explicitly asymmetric by default, which breaks backwards compatibility with the 0.4 series.

  - `cqt` now returns properly scaled outputs that are continuous across octave boundaries.  This breaks
    backwards compatibility with the 0.4 series.

  - `cqt` now uses `tuning=0.0` by default, rather than estimating the tuning from the signal.  Tuning
    estimation is still supported, and enabled by default for chroma analysis (`librosa.feature.chroma_cqt`).

  - `logamplitude` is deprecated in favor of `amplitude_to_db` or `power_to_db`.  The `ref_power` parameter
    has been renamed to `ref`.
