• statistics_histogram - defines the statistics and histogram of a raster to help render output
• tasseled_cap - analyzes certain multispectral datasets and calculates new bands useful to map vegetation and urban developmet changes
• identity - default function required in a mosaic dataset if there is no other function
• colorspace_converstion - converts the color model of a three-band unsigned 8-bit images from HSV or RGB, or vice versa
• grayscale - converts a multi-band image into a single-band grayscale image
• pansharpen - enhances spatial resolution of a multi-band image by fusing with higher-resolution panchromatic image
• spectral_conversion - applies a matrix to affect the spectral values output by a multi-band image
• raster_calculator - allows you to call all existing math functions for building expressions
• speckle - filters a speckled radar dataset to smooth out noise
• Added a new GeoEnrichment module
• Added ability to set and configure the identity provider for managing user credentials
• Added support for passing geometry columns into PySal functions
• Added a new esri_access property to User objects so Esri training materials could be accessed
• Added support for feeding SpatialDataFrame objects to GeoProcessing tools
• A new SpatialDataFrame.plot() method to do bar, line and scatterplots
• Added support for multi-part Polygon geometries in FeatureSet objects
• Added support for creating Hosted Feature Layer Views
