v0.2
This is major release that includes some new features and quite a few bug
fixes. Here are the highlights:
- There is now a direct constructor for
DataArray
objects, which makes it
possible to create a DataArray without using a Dataset. This is highlighted
in the refreshed tutorial. - You can perform aggregation operations like
mean
directly on
xray.Dataset
objects, thanks to Joe Hamman. These aggregation
methods also worked on grouped datasets. - xray now works on Python 2.6, thanks to Anna Kuznetsova.
- A number of methods and attributes were given more sensible (usually shorter)
names:labeled
->sel
,indexed
->isel
,select
->
select_vars
,unselect
->drop_vars
,dimensions
->dims
,
coordinates
->coords
,attributes
->attrs
. - New
Dataset.load_data
andDataset.close
methods for datasets facilitate lower level of control of data loaded from disk.
