* 40 Port to Python3
* Updated Blockgrid to support a group-by batch mode.
* ``block_size`` argument removed from ``kriging_ops.prepare_for_vesper_krige``

Bug Fixes
* Support for Geopandas (upto 0.5.1)
* Fix coordinate system lookup error (PAT Issue `42 <https://github.com/CSIRO-Precision-Agriculture/PAT_QGIS_Plugin/issues/42>`_ )

New Tools
* 24 Persistor.
* 22 *t*-test analysis of strip trials.
Enhancements
* 30 Low spatial density kriging using VESPER.
* 22 Updated ``processing.create_points_along_line`` to allow for line offset to use compass points instead of Offset 1 etc.
Minor Bug Fixes.
