Release 1.4.1 

MAJOR performance gains in the .to_js_literal() method. Implementation seems to improve performance by 50 - 90%. (#51)

- creation of series without needing to specify a full property map
- support for creating series by DataFrame row, rather than just by DataFrame column
ENHANCEMENT: Added the .from_pandas_in_rows() method to support creation of charts and series from simple two-dimensional DataFrames laid out in rows.
ENHANCEMENT: Added one-shot chart creation and rendering from Series objects (#89).

Release 1.3.1 

BUGFIX: Fixed incorrect style property deserialization in certain places (#82).

Release 1.3.0 

ENHANCEMENT: Modified the way that data points are serialized to JavaScript literal objects. Now, they are serialized to a JavaScript array if their configured properties are those that Highcharts (JS) supports in JavaScript array notation. Otherwise, the code falls back to serialize the data point as a JavaScript object literal. This change is intended to improve performance and reduce the size of the serialized data. (#77)
