We are excited to release Xorbits 0.2.0!

Xorbits 0.2.0 is our first milestone. Since the launch of Xorbits, we have received several bug reports and user suggestions. We value user feedback greatly, and therefore, the new version mainly focuses on improving the user experience, with the following improvements included:

1. Kubernetes Deployment Optimization

   The new version includes a significant improvement to the xorbits.deploy.kubernetes.client.new_cluster() interface, which now automatically detects the local Python version and selects the corresponding Xorbits image when deploying a cluster. Additionally, to avoid dependency conflicts, the new version also automatically aligns with the specific version of certain dependencies, such as cloudpickle.

2. Performance Optimization During Interactive Analysis

   The new version has optimized the deferred execution strategy, avoiding potential duplicate calculations during the analysis process and improving the performance of interactive analysis.

3. xorbits.pandas.read_csv Now Supports skiprows
4. Document Enhancements
