Version 0.14 (March 24, 2016) ============================= Features -------- * Zachary Tessler and Raj Kesavan added the :class:`cartopy.crs.Sinusoidal` projection, allowing MODIS data to be visualised in its native projection. Additionally, a prepared :data:`cartopy.crs.Sinusoidal.MODIS` projection has been made available for convenience. * Joseph Hogg and Daniel Atton Beckmann added the :class:`cartopy.geodesic.Geodesic` class which wraps the proj.4 geodesic library. This allows users to solve the direct and inverse geodesic problems (calculating distances between points etc). It also contains a convenience function that returns geodetic circles. This is used by :meth:`cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes.tissot` which draws Tissot's indicatrices on the axes. .. figure:: ../gallery/lines_and_polygons/images/sphx_glr_tissot_001.png :target: ../gallery/lines_and_polygons/tissot.html :align: center :scale: 70 * The SRTM3 data source has been changed to the `LP DAAC Data Pool `_. The Data Pool is more consistent, fixing several missing tiles, and the data is void-filled. Consequently, the ``cartopy.srtm.fill_gaps`` function has been deprecated as it has no purpose within the STRM context. The SRTM example has also been updated to skip the void-filling step. Additionally, this data source provides SRTM at a higher resolution of 1 arc-second, which may be accessed via :class:`cartopy.io.srtm.SRTM1Source`. * All downloaders will use secure connections where available. Not every service supports this method, and so those will use non-secured HTTP connections instead. (See :pull:`736` for full details.) * Cartopy now supports, and is tested against, Matplotlib 1.3 and 1.5 as well as NumPy 1.7, 1.8 and 1.10. * Daniel Eriksson added a new example to the gallery: .. figure:: ../gallery/scalar_data/images/sphx_glr_aurora_forecast_001.png :target: ../gallery/scalar_data/aurora_forecast.html :align: center :scale: 70 Deprecations ------------ * ``cartopy.crs.GOOGLE_MERCATOR`` has been moved to :data:`cartopy.crs.Mercator.GOOGLE`. Incompatible changes -------------------- * :meth:`cartopy.crs.CRS.transform_point` now issues NaNs when invalid transforms are identified.
