Hi, MetPy 0.9.1 has been released. New features of the 0.9 series include: * Renamed `get_wind_speed` to `wind_speed`; the old name is still available but is deprecated and will be removed in 0.12 * Renamed `get_wind_dir` to `wind_direction`; the old name is still available but is deprecated and will be removed in 0.12 * Renamed `get_wind_components` to `wind_components`; the old name is still available but is deprecated and will be removed in 0.12 * Added support for cross-sections along arbitrary lat/lon paths * Added `parcel_profile_with_lcl` to compute the parcel profile and return values for the parcel profile, as well as the ambient pressure, temperature, and dew point that includes the lcl * Fixed corner case problems in some thermodynamic calculations by using parcel profiles including the LCL * Added function to get a matplotlib color from a GEMPAK color number * Added CartoPy map feature for U.S. counties * `get_test_data` will now automatically download and cache data files if the user is not running a git checkout of MetPy. This makes all of our test/example data much more easily available. * Added `smooth_gaussian`, which smooths a grid using a Gaussian distribution-shaped kernel; this is an analog of GEMPAK's `gwfs` * Fixed error reading newer NEXRAD Level 2 files Contributors ------------ @akrherz, @JoyMonteiro, @jthielen, @leouieda, @sgdecker, @jrleeman, and @dopplershift contributed code to this release.
