This is a minor release that improves the package import speed.
Faster import speeds ----------------------------
Previously, the package tried to import geoviews at startup. This was a bottleneck, as gevoviews takes a long time to import. Geoviews is now imported when first used.
1.1.3
This is a minor release with some improvements to temporal methods, such as `tmean`.
You can now supply a window argument to statistical temporal methods. For example, if you wanted to calculate a weekly mean value, you could do the following: `ds.tmean(window=7)`.
1.1.2
This is a minor release.
The `subset` method has been improved internally. Previously, if you ran, for example, `ds.subset(month=1)` and one or more of the files in a dataset had no data for January, an error was thrown. This has now been changed, so that a warning is thrown and the files are removed from the dataset.
1.1.1
This is a minor release with some improvements to internals. Code written for the previous release will be fully compatible.
The `annual_anomaly` method is now able to run in parallel will multiple cores are defined using `options`.
The `match_points` method now has a quiet argument.
1.1.0
This is a major release with some improvements and new methods.
This release requires that CDO version 2.0.5 or above is installed. Code written for the previous version of nctoolkit will be compatible.
The cost of maintaining support for CDO versions 1.9.10 and below was increasingly high compared with the declining user base for these versions, so support has been dropped.
A method for inverting vertical levels and latitude will be introduced: `invert`.
The `pub_plot` method will use slightly better colour scales for diverging scales.
Some improvements have been made to package internals.
1.0.0
This is a major release with breaking changes.
A critical change is that accessing dataset attributes will force evaluation, i.e. `ds.run()` will occur if you access an attribute such as `ds.times`. This makes behaviour more consistent with what new users would expect.
This should not have a major impact on any coding workflows.
The `cdo_command` method has been changed so that it no longer checks the validity of the command before calling CDO. Checks can now be run using the `check` argument.
Some improvements have been made to method internals for `pub_plot`.
