Version 0.16 (February 21, 2018)
================================
Features
--------
* We are very pleased to announce that Ryan May has been added to the cartopy
core development team. Ryan (@dopplershift) brings a wealth of experience,
and has already made significant contributions to the Matplotlib interface,
extended projections, and helped modernise the development infrastructure.
* The :class:`~cartopy.crs.Gnomonic` projection was brought up-to-date to
include the ``central_longitude`` argument. (:pull:`855`)
* Ryan May improved the formulation of the boundary ellipse for the
:class:`~cartopy.crs.Geostationary` projection and added the
``sweep_angle_axis`` keyword argument. (:pull:`890`, :pull:`897`)
* Elliott Sales de Andrade made a number of micro-optimisations to the
Matplotlib interface, fixed a number of documentation issues with
Python 3 and added Matplotlib 2.0 & 2.1 compatibility. (:pull:`886`,
:pull:`901`, :pull:`780`, :pull:`773`, :pull:`977`)
* Tick padding was added to the gridliner.
:data:`cartopy.mpl.gridliner.Gridliner.xpadding` and
:data:`~cartopy.mpl.gridliner.Gridliner.ypadding` relate. (:pull:`783`)
* Ryan May added the :meth:`~cartopy.feature.NaturalEarthFeature.with_scale`
method to the NaturalEarthFeature class.
For example, it is now possible to access higher resolution land features
with ``cartopy.feature.LAND.with_scale('50m')``. In addition to this,
:data:`cartopy.feature.STATES` was added to easily access administrative
area boundaries that were previously only accessible by manually
constructing :class:`~cartopy.feature.NaturalEarthFeature` instances
(as is done in the
:ref:`sphx_glr_gallery_lines_and_polygons_feature_creation.py` example).
(:pull:`898`)
* Daryl Herzmann and Robert Redl improved cartopy's internal conversion
between Shapely objects and Matplotlib Paths. (:pull:`885` & :pull:`1021`)
* Åsmund Steen Skjæveland fixed :meth:`cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes.tissot`
to use the documented units of kilometres, where before it had been using
metres. (:pull:`904`)
* Andrew Dawson wrote a new tutorial for the user guide:
:ref:`understanding_transform`. (:pull:`914`)
* Daniel Kirkham and Daryl Herzmann made significant improvements to the
stability of polygon transformation. The changes reduce the frequency
of messages such as
``Unidentified problem with geometry, linestring being re-added`` and
``Self-intersection at or near point <X> <Y>`` occurring.
(:pull:`974` and :pull:`903`)
* Chris Holdgraf and Corinne Bosley worked collaboratively to bring
`sphinx-gallery <https://github.com/sphinx-gallery/sphinx-gallery>`_ to the
cartopy docs. (:pull:`969`)
* Ray Bell neatened up many of the examples to explicitly pass the coordinate
system when calling :meth:`~cartopy.mpl.geoaxes.GeoAxes.set_extent`.
(:pull:`975`)
* Ryan May changed the default zorder of LAND and OCEAN to -1, thus fixing
an issue with LAND/OCEAN appearing above some data elements such as
vectors. (:pull:`916`)
* Kevin Donkers added the 60 UTM projections example to the gallery
in :pull:`954`:
.. figure:: ../gallery/miscellanea/images/sphx_glr_utm_all_zones_001.png
:target: ../gallery/miscellanea/utm_all_zones.html
:align: center
* Andrey Kiselev added support for reading shapes with a third (Z) dimension.
(:pull:`958`)
* Corinne Bosley standardised the docstring format for improved readability
and visual consistency. (:pull:`987`)
* Cartopy now no longer enables :func:`shapely.speedups` at cartopy import
time. (:pull:`990`)
* Mahé Perrette and Ryan May collaborated to improve the
:class:`~cartopy.crs.Stereographic` projection. (:pull:`929`)
