v0.6.0 Released!

[tomvothecoder]

v0.6.0 (10 October 2023)

This minor version update consists of new features including vertical regridding (extension of xgcm), functions for producing accurate time bounds, and improving the usability of the create_grid API. It also includes bug fixes to preserve attributes when using regrid2 horizontal regridder and fixing multi-file datasets spatial average orientation and weights when lon bounds span prime meridian.
