ANN: xradar v0.7.0/v0.8.0

Dear Community,

within the past 10 days weโ€™ve released :rocket: xradar v0.7.0 (2024-10-26) and :rocket: v0.8.0 (2024-11-04).

Both are available on PyPI and conda-forge.

The datatree implementation between old xarray-datatree and the xarray-based datatree differs quite a bit, so we suggest to explore the xarray/DATATREE_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md at main ยท pydata/xarray ยท GitHub and the xarray doc on Data Structures.

Within xradar we tried to keep the impact as little as possible! If you find any issues with your current code, please head over to the xradar โ€” xradar 0.8.0 documentation (which also got a decent lift) and check the updated examples. If you experience any bugs or have other sorts of problems, please open an issue.

At the same time weโ€™ve fixed some bugs :bug: and added some nice features, like automatic conversion between CfRadial1 <-> CfRadial2 โ€” xradar 0.8.0 documentation or Map Over Sweeps โ€” xradar 0.8.0 documentation.

Thanks to @syedhamidali for those additions and @aladinor for the tedious refactoring of all backends to make use of new datatree features. This fast release cadence would not have been possible without you :heavy_heart_exclamation: Thanks also to @rcjackson for adding a reader for Metek MRR2 โ€” xradar 0.8.0 documentation.

Happy coding!
