## Overview

This project release comes with a great number of performance improvements and fixes, including treatment of missing values, corrections in geometrical algorithms and more. We highly recommend updating if you are using previous versions.

## Breaking

We did split off the packages GeoStatsPlots.jl and GeoStatsViz.jl for visualization of objects with either Plots.jl or Makie.jl (thank you @eliascarv for helping out with the split ❤ ). Now users need to import these packages explicitly to produce visualizations with their preferred software stack.

- GeoStatsPlots.jl extends MeshPlots.jl and GeoStatsViz.jl extends MeshViz.jl to combine recipes for Meshes.jl with recipes for geostatistical objects such as variograms, problems, etc.

- Moving forward we plan to only develop GeoStatsViz.jl. As soon as Makie.jl introduces a better recipe system, we will merge the recipes back into the project.

## An example…

If you like figures like myself, here is an example of Gaussian simulation over a 3D brain model (\>1M voxels) from the [Stanford volume data archive](http://aperture.stanford.edu/data/voldata). Each realization is generated under 1sec 🚀
