What’s New¶
v0.2.0 (14 August 2014)¶
This is major release that includes some new features and quite a few bug fixes. Here are the highlights:
- There is now a direct constructor for DataArray objects, which makes it possible to create a DataArray without using a Dataset. This is highlighted in the refreshed Tutorial.
- You can perform aggregation operations like mean directly on Dataset objects, thanks to Joe Hamman. These aggregation methods also worked on grouped datasets.
- xray now works on Python 2.6, thanks to Anna Kuznetsova.
- A number of methods and attributes were given more sensible (usually shorter) names: labeled -> sel, indexed -> isel, select -> select_vars, unselect -> drop_vars, dimensions -> dims, coordinates -> coords, attributes -> attrs.
- New load_data() and close() methods for datasets facilitate lower level of control of data loaded from disk.
v0.1.1 (20 May 2014)¶
xray 0.1.1 is a bug-fix release that includes changes that should be almost entirely backwards compatible with v0.1:
- Python 3 support (GH53)
- Required numpy version relaxed to 1.7 (GH129)
- Return numpy.datetime64 arrays for non-standard calendars (GH126)
- Support for opening datasets associated with NetCDF4 groups (GH127)
- Bug-fixes for concatenating datetime arrays (GH134)
Special thanks to new contributors Thomas Kluyver, Joe Hamman and Alistair Miles.
