Pycontrails

Features

- Add `geo.azimuth` and `geo.segment_azimuth` functions to calculate the azimuth between coordinates. Azimuth is the angle between coordinates relative to true north on the interval `[0, 360)`.

Fixes

- Fix edge case in polygon algorithm by utilizing the `fully_connected` parameter in `measure.find_contours`. This update leads to slight changes in interior contours in some cases.
- Fix hard-coded POSIX path in `conftest.py` for windows compatibility.
- Address `PermissionError` raised by `shutil.copy` when the destination file is open in another thread. The copy is skipped and a warning is logged.
- Fix some unit tests in `test_vector.py` and `test_ecmwf.py` for windows compatibility. There are still a few tests that fail on windows (unrelated to changes in this release) that will be fixed in v0.40.0.
- Allow `cachestore=None` to skip caching in `ERA5`, `HRES`, and `GFS` interfaces. Previously a default `DiskCacheStore` was created even when `cachestore=None`. By default, caching is still enabled.

Internals

- Clean up `geo` module docstrings.
- Add Wikipedia reference for [Azimuth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth).
- Convert `MetBase._load` to from a class method to a function.

Fixes

- Fix `docs/examples/CoCiP.ipynb` example demonstrating aircraft performance integration
- Fix unit test caused by breaking change in [pyproj 3.5.0](https://github.com/pyproj4/pyproj/releases/tag/3.5.0)

Internals

- Add additional Zenodo metadata
- Execute notebook examples in [Docs Action](https://github.com/contrailcirrus/pycontrails/actions/workflows/docs.yaml)

Internals

- Add additional Zenodo metadata
- Add [Doc / Notebook test Action](https://github.com/contrailcirrus/pycontrails/actions/workflows/doctest.yaml) to run notebook test (`make nb-test`) and doctests (`make doctest`) on pull requests.
- Update [Docs Action](https://github.com/contrailcirrus/pycontrails/actions/workflows/docs.yaml) to use python 3.11.

Fixes

- Update links in the [README](README.md).
- Update the [release guide](RELEASE.md) to include a checklist of steps to follow when cutting a release.

Fixes

- Fix links in documentation website.
- Deploy build to [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/pycontrails/) (in addition to Test PyPI) on release.

Features

- Use [setuptools_scm](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools_scm) to manage the `pycontrails` version.
