[python-users] MetPy 1.1.0 Released

Hi,

MetPy 1.1.0 has been released:

* Added classes to read a variety of data in GEMPAK-formatted files
* Added `showalter_index` calculation
* Added `PlotGeometry` to the simplified plotting interface, which makes it
easy to plot a variety of geospatial data (e.g. SPC convective outlooks or
NHC hurricane wind swaths in geojson format). See this notebook (
https://gist.github.com/23ccozad/8c5ee73731c466be2ed00817aabd792d) for
examples.
* Significantly improved METAR parser to output both the visibility and
remarks part of the reports, as well as better handle more weather codes
(like 'FU')
* Improvements to simplified plotting interface including better notebook
tab completion, support for controlling font size, and GEMPAK-like zooming
on areas (e.g. '+us')
* Improved detection of problematic soundings in calculations
* Dropped support for Python <3.7 and NumPy <1.17
* Reduced the time it takes to import `metpy.io`
* Fixed up a variety of unit issues in calculations
