This document explains the changes made to Iris for this release (View all changes.)

Features

• If available, display the STASH code instead of unknown / (unknown) when printing cubes with no standard_name and no units.

• Support for saving to netCDF with data packing has been added.

• The coordinate system iris.coord_systems.LambertAzimuthalEqualArea has been added with NetCDF saving support.

Bugs Fixed

• Fixed a floating point tolerance bug in iris.experimental.regrid.regrid_area_weighted_rectilinear_src_and_grid() for wrapped longitudes.

• Allow iris.util.new_axis() to promote the nominated scalar coordinate of a cube with a scalar masked constant data payload.

• Fixed a bug where iris.util._is_circular() would erroneously return false when coordinate values are decreasing.

• When saving to NetCDF, the existing behaviour of writing string attributes as ASCII has been maintained across known versions of netCDF4-python.

Documentation

• Fuller doc-string detail added to iris.analysis.cartography.unrotate_pole() and iris.analysis.cartography.rotate_pole().
