Ripple1d

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users Changelog
----------------
This release of `ripple1d` fixes several bugs identified during testing.

Features Added
----------------
No features added in this version.

**API**
- `ripple_version` is no longer an option for the body of any endpoints.

Bug Fixes
----------
- A bug due to a hard coded terrain path name causing an error on `create_fim_lib` has been resolved.
- A bug associated with the `ripple_version` parameter has been resolved by removing the parameter from the body of requests (see note in API above).
- An issue with including lateral structures (not yet implemented) in the ras geometry files causing hang ups has been resolved. This fix resolved another issue where stationing was mis-applied in the newly created ras geometry files.
- A bug which caused a failure when calling subset_gpkg in cases where the model geometries are simple (no structures / no junctions).

Users Changelog
----------------
This release of `ripple1d` incorporates preliminary support for hydraulic structures in HEC-RAS, improves the installation and setup process, and fixes several bugs.


Features Added
------------------

**Hydraulic Structures**

- All data associated with 1D structures that HEC-RAS supports is now included in the geometry extraction functions. (Endpoint exposing this will come in a future release). The extraction of data from the source models is now more robust and better handles different versions of RAS which wrote files slightly different.

- NWM reach models built from HEC-RAS source models that have the following structures will have structure data included:

- Inline Structures
- Bridges
- Culverts
- Multiple Opening

.. note::
Not included are lateral structures. Handling of lateral structures (wiers) will require additional assumptions/considerations to account for excess discharge (storage area, 2d area, another reach, etc).

**Conflation improvements**

- The conflation algorithm has been improved to accommodate models containing junctions. Where junctions exist, HEC-RAS rivers will be joined and the down stream XS (downstream of the junction) will be captured in the upstream model.
- Conflation now incorporates an additional downstream XS if available, extending beyond the NWM reach length to prevent gaps in FIM coverage.


**API**

- `ripple_version` is no longer a required argument for any endpoint.


Bug Fixes
----------
Numerous small bug fixes were made to enable the support of hydraulic structures. Other notable bugs include:

- HEC-RAS stations with length > 8 characters are now supported.
- Mangled profile names resulting from negative elevations producing FIM libraries has been fixed.
