Full Changelog: v1.11.0...v1.11.1

1.11.0

This release is fully dedicated to a more efficient and robust approach for dataset reprojection:

• New method: Added xcube.core.resampling.reproject_dataset, a high-performance alternative to xcube.core.resampling.resample_in_space for reprojecting datasets to different coordinate reference systems (CRS).

• Recommended usage: Ideal for reprojection between regular grids. It improves computational efficiency and simplifies the reprojection process. It is not addressing rectification from irregular to regular grids (e.g., Sentinel-3).

• Validation: The notebook examples/notebook/resampling/reproject_esa_cci_landcover_new_method.ipynb shows that reproject_dataset and resample_in_space produce nearly identical results when reprojecting to a different CRS, with only negligible differences.

• Backward compatibility: resample_in_space remains available to preserve compatibility with existing services. Once reproject_dataset proves stable in production use, it may be integrated into resample_in_space.

• Technical context: resample_in_space currently uses either affine transforms or the Spatial Rectification Algorithm, which is specialized for non-regular 2D grids (e.g., Sentinel-3). While applicable to regular grid reprojection, the algorithm is unnecessarily complex for such cases.

1.9.0

Changes in 1.9.0

Enhancements

• Bundled xcube Viewer 1.5.0 with an updated UI/UX regarding side panel management including server-side panel extensions.

• Added a new server-side panel extension to the examples/serve/panels-demo for demonstration. It shows spectrum plots for a selected map point.

Other changes

• Extension panels for xcube Viewer of type xcube.webapi.viewer.contrib.panel.Panel now have two more properties:

  • icon: name of a Material Design Icon to be used for the icon button that represents the panel in the viewer's sidebar.
  • position: to set the position of the respective icon button in the viewer's sidebar.

• Added a new abstract class PreloadedDataStore that defines the return type of the preload_data method in xcube.core.store.DataStore. The PreloadedDataStore is a data store containing a preload_handle field, which holds the handle associated with a preload job.

• Renamed xrlint config file from xrlint_config.yaml to xrlint-config.yaml.

Full Changelog: v1.8.3...v1.9.0

1.8.3

Changes in 1.8.3

Enhancements

• xcube Server now can be configured to provide abstracts/descriptions for datasets
  so they can be rendered as markdown in xcube Viewer
  (xcube-dev/xcube-viewer#454). (#1122)

  1. New description properties have been added to responses from xcube Server for
     datasets and variables.
  2. User can now provide abstracts or descriptions using markdown format for dataset
     configurations in xcube Server. A new configuration setting Description
     now accompanies settings such as Title.
  3. Default values for the Description setting are derived from metadata of
     datasets and variable CF attributes.

• Improved axis labeling in 2D histogram visualization in the Panel demo.

• Added support for the xcube Viewer's Markdown component so it can be used in
  server-side viewer extensions. See new package xcube.webapi.viewer.components
  exporting class Markdown which has a single text property that takes
  the markdown text.

• Bundled xcube Viewer 1.4.2.

Other changes

• Reformatted code base according to the default settings used by
  isort and
  ruff. Updated development
  dependencies accordingly.
• Updated copyright notices.
• Ensured xcube can be installed and tested in Python 3.13 environments.
• Added a configuration file xrlint_config.yaml for the
  xrlint tool to the project repository.
