Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

  1. The pull request should include tests for new or changed functionality, and pass all tests.

  2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in CHANGELOG.md.
