Eccodes

-------------------

- ECC-1029: Function-argument type-checking should be disabled by default.
To enable these checks, export ECCODES_PYTHON_ENABLE_TYPE_CHECKS=1
- ECC-1032: Added codes_samples_path() and codes_definition_path()
- ECC-1042: Python3 interface writes integer arrays incorrectly
- ECC-794: Python3 interface: Expose the grib_get_data function

------------------

- Added new function: codes_get_version_info
- ECC-753: Expose the codes_grib_nearest_find_multiple function in Python
- ECC-1007: Python3 interface for eccodes cannot write large arrays

------------------

- New exception added: FunctionalityNotEnabledError
- BUFR decoding: support for multi-element constant arrays (ECC-428)

------------------

- All ecCodes tests now pass
- Simplify the xx_new_from_file calls
- Fix for grib_set_string_array
- Use ECCODES_DIR to locate the library
- Remove the new-style high-level interface. It is still available in
`cfgrib <https://github.com/ecmwf/cfgrib>`_.

------------------

- ``codes_get_long_array`` and ``codes_get_double_array`` now return a ``np.ndarray``.
See: `3 <https://github.com/ecmwf/eccodes-python/issues/3>`_.

------------------

- Declare the project as **Beta**.
