Hi, MetPy 0.11.0 has been released. This is the LAST RELEASE that supports Python 2.7. API Changes ========== * MetPy's copy of the "viridis" colormap is deprecated. Use it directly from matplotlib instead. * Deprecated the `tmpk_out` argument for `isentropic_interpolation`; this will be removed in 1.0. Use `temperature_out` instead. * `ageostrophic_wind` now issues a `FutureWarning` due to an impending change to its function signature in 1.0--this will change the signature to `ageostrophic_wind(heights, u, v, f, dx, dy)` for better consistency with the rest of the library. To avoid this warning, import the function with `from metpy.future import ageostrophic_wind`. * Deprecated the `bounds` argument on `Hodograph.plot_colormapped` in favor of `intervals` to improve clarity on how to use the argument. * Removed previously deprecated: - `lat_lon_grid_spacing`: use `lat_lon_grid_deltas` instead - `cdm` module - `GINIFile.to_dataset()` Fixes and Enhancements =================== * Several SkewT fixes and enhancements, including reworking the transform so that it works in screen space; this helps it work much better on oddly shaped axes. On Matplotlib 3.2, this means that the SkewT maintains sensible data scaling. SkewT by default also now has sensible plot limits. * MetPy 0.10.x accidentally picked up a hard dependency on CartoPy, this has been removed * Expanded simplified plotting interface with more documentation and support for `Barbs` * Several bug fixes for `lcl`, `el`, `lfc`, and `cape_cin` * No longer require using `.metpy.parse_cf()` to activate coordinate identification with XArray * XArray accessor automatically converts problematic '%' units to 'percent' * Added unit support in `reduce_point_density` * `wind_direction` now supports specifying the convention (either 'to' or 'from') to support oceanographic applications (default remains 'from'). * Improved numerical stability of geopotential<->height calculations * Added parsing of more combinations of weather symbols * Added `specific_humidity_from_dewpoint`, `altimeter_to_station_pressure`, `altimeter_to_sea_level_pressure` * `heat_index` now better matches NWS algorithm * Added `angle_to_direction` to convert wind direction in degrees to e.g. 'NE' * Added control of `mask_undefined` on `apparent_temperature` Contributors ------------ @ahuang11, @akrherz, @jthielen, @kgoebber, @leouieda, @mgrover1, @sgdecker, @tjwixtrom, @zbruick, @jrleeman, and @dopplershift contributed code to this release.
