0.4.0

What's Changed

This PR makes major changes to DEA Tools Python packaging, aimed at making the package easier to install by making difficult dependencies like datacube optional extras. All Python code has been formatted for consistency using ruff, and Python packaging and publication has been updated to a more modern approach using pyproject.toml and uv.

You can now install DEA Tools more easily into any environment from PyPI. By only minimal dependencies will be installed:

pip install dea-tools

To install with optional dependencies:

# Install with datacube dependencies
pip install dea-tools[datacube]

# Install with dependencies required to launch Jupyter Notebooks
pip install dea-tools[jupyter] 

 # Install with optional dependencies required for DEA Notebooks code examples
pip install dea-tools[jupyter,dask_gateway,hdstats,notebooks]

# Install with all optional dependencies (including difficult to install packages)
pip install dea-tools[all]   

Other new features include:

• A new Wetlands Insight Tool interactive notebook for extracting times series plots of wetland dynamics over time
• A new Accessing Gridded Climate Data notebook for accessing Australian-specific climate data and global climate reanalysis data (ERA5)
• A new Generating Continental Scale Animations notebook for generating animations of the entire Australian continent
• Tide modelling notebooks and code updated to use more powerful functions from eo-tides
• Improvements and clean ups of classification tools and machine learning/ML notebooks

Breaking changes:

• Tide modelling functionality in dea_tools.coastal is now deprecated and roomed in favour of eo-tides
• dea_tools.spatial.interpolate_2d and contours_to_arrays functions now deprecated and removed
