Mintpy

Cut a release for the 2020 UNAVCO InSAR short course.

New features

+ support `UAVSAR` stack processed by isce/stripmapStack via `mintpy.load.processor = isce` contributed by Talib Oliver Cabrera
+ computing- and memory-efficient `ifgram_inversion.py` as a prototype of the next version contributed by Joshua Zahner
+ `bootstrap` velocity uncertainty integrated into `timeseries2velocity` contributed by Emre Havazli
+ `save_gdal.py` to output gdal support files, i.e. GeoTIFF, ENVI, etc., contributed by Forrest Williams
+ `circle CI` build_and_test workflow contributed by Meissam Mehdizadeh
+ `mintpy.load.autoPath` option for automatic file path setting with contributions from Sara Mirzaee

Technical improvements

+ move `insarmaps` scripts to geodesymiami org for more independent maintenance contributed by Alfredo Terreco
+ replace `xml.etree` with `defusedxml` for XML file parsing
+ improved implementations for save_qgis.py and prep_fringe.py
+ documentation updates
+ bugs fix

Cut a release to match with ARIA-tools version 1.1.0.

New features

+ full `aria` processor support in `smallbaselineApp.py` (require `gdal>3`)
+ `FRInGE` time-series loading via `prep_fringe.py` contributed by Forrest Williams
+ generic Dask cluster support for parallel processing in `ifgram_inversion.py` contributed by Joshua Zahner
+ offset time-series with individual utils scripts.
+ bootstrapping method for the linear velocity uncertainty estimation contributed by Emre Havazli
+ phase-unwrapping error identification via the number of triplets with non-zero integer ambiguity `numTriNonzeroIntAmbiguity.h5`.

Technical improvements

+ replace `basemap` with `cartopy` for geo visualization contributed by Joshua Zahner
+ update default UNR GPS solution version from `IGS08` to `IGS14`
+ update example datasets with tropospheric correction from `ERA-I` to `ERA5`
+ update `simulation/fractal` module
+ better support of IO / plotting for binary data files
+ bugs fix

New features

+ cyclic colormap `cmy` provided by Piyush Agram.
+ `tropo_pyaps3.py`: save the absolute tropospheric delay in HDF5 file for more generic usage and apply double differencing on the fly for InSAR, instead of saving the double-differenced tropospheric delay in HDF5 file.

Technical improvement

+ use `conda install basemap` to replace `pip install basemap` contributed by Robert Zinke.
+ minor updates:
- prep_isce: use az/rgResolution from Sentinel-1 product definition doc.
- view: keep binary file ext in fig title
- utils/readfile: easy read magnitude data from .int file.

Cut a version to match with [Yunjun et al. (2019)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2019.104331) and its [jupyter notebooks](https://github.com/geodesymiami/Yunjun_et_al-2019-MintPy).

New features

+ Block-by-block file IO in `ifgram_inversion.py` for efficient memory usage.
+ `save_qgis.py` to save time-series in QGIS format contributed by Piyush Agram.

Technical improvements

+ Updates in `smallbaselineApp.py`:
- add `mintpy.networkInversion.shadowMask` option
- ignore no-data values from geometry file while writing waterMask.h5 for default masking.
+ Improve `mintpy.simulation` tools for decorrelation noise and tropospheric turbulence.
+ Save calculated GPS velocities to CSV file whiling plotting in `view.py` contributed by Emre Havazli.
+ Add GitHub robot, issue and pull request templates, and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
+ Move jupyter notebooks from `insarlab/MintPy` to `insarlab/MintPy-tutorial` repo.
+ Improved visualization scripts.
+ Bugs fix.
