Version 0.5 Updates¶

Version 0.5.6¶

fixed issue when paths starting with ~ used for the user-cache-directory settings were not correctly expanded

fixed issue when paths starting with ~ used for cache directories were not correctly expanded

fixed issue when retrievals like mars failed when a datelist with exactly five elements was used

changed the default cache policy to off. See the Cache policies notebook example.
enabled the off cache policy to access remote sources like mars
allowed creating source plugins
enabled reading url sources as streams. See the Reading data from URLs as a stream notebook example
enabled reading polytope sources as streams
added the FieldList.to_fieldlist() method to convert to a new FieldList based on a given backend
added the nearest_point_haversine() and nearest_point_kdtree() methods to find the nearest point out of a set of locations. See the GRIB: nearest gridpoint and GRIB: generating time series notebook examples.
enabled using multiple keys and dictionaries in the split_on request parameter for cds retrievals
enabled using list of requests in cds retrievals
added the experimental “constants” source type
ensured consistent usage of pandas_read_csv_kwargs for file and cds sources
added the bits_per_value option to NumpyFieldList.save()
when a NumpyFieldList is written to disk with NumpyFieldList.save() the generatingProcessIdentifier GRIB key is not set implicitly to 255 any longer. Instead, users must set its value when calling Metadata.override().
significantly reduced field size in a NumpyFieldList. Available with ecCodes >= 2.34.0 and eccodes-python >= 1.17.0
added experimental support for retrieving coverage json data from a polytope source

fixed issue when slicing did not work on FieldList filtered with sel()
fixed crash in FieldList.to_xarray() when the filter_by_keys option in backend_kwargs was used
fixed issue when list of dates could not be used in a cds request
fixed issue when some metadata keys of a NumpyFieldList did not match the actual field values. These metadata keys are now not available in a NumpyFieldList
fixed issue when NetCDF input containing a coordinate with string values caused a crash
ensured compatibility with the changes in ecCodes version 2.34.0.
