v1.9.0

Features:

• Add Sentinel-2 Cloud Score+ mask method (cloud-score).
• Change default Sentinel-2 masking method to cloud-score (backwards incompatible).
• Revert to multi-threaded overviews on download.
• Remove lock on calls to ee.Image.getDownloadUrl() for tile download.
• Download tiles as GeoTIFFs rather than zipped GeoTIFFs.
• Simplify pixel grid maintenance when exporting.
• Change BaseImage.date property to be time zone aware, and update deprecated calls to datetime.utcfromtimestamp().
• Deprecate Sentinel-2 cloud-prob and qa masking methods.

Fixes:

• Correct cast direction for Sentinel-2 cloud-prob and qa shadow masking.
• Provide BaseImage.scale property in meters for all CRSs.
• Allow export of images with positive y-axis geo-transforms on the source pixel grid.
• Fix resampling for harmonised Sentinel-2 images to use minimum scale projection.

Packaging:

• Update required python version to 3.8.
• Pin Rasterio & earthengine-api versions for multithreaded overviews / ee.Image.getDownloadUrl() calls.

Docs:

• Updates to use harmonised Sentinel-2 images and cloud-score masking.

v1.8.1

Fixes

• Generate full cloud/shadow masks for Sentinel-2 images missing relevant cloud data (#24).
• Use -inf nodata for downloaded GeoTIFFs with float64 / float32 data types to work around 350528377.
• Pin Rasterio >=1.3 for compatibility with-inf nodata .

v1.8.0

Features:

• Improve download reliability by retrying corrupt or incomplete tiles (#22).
• Use timeouts on download Requests session to prompt retries.
• Update STAC URLs.

Fixes:

• Update deprecated Numpy calls for compatibility with Numpy 2.

v1.7.2

• Build overviews in a single thread to work around OSGeo/gdal#7921.
• Update STAC urls.

v1.7.1

• Add bands parameter to download and export API and CLI.

v1.7.0

• Simplify medoid module, reducing memory usage and computation.
• Change cloudless_portion search parameter to be the portion of filled pixels, rather than portion of region.
• Only find region portions when searching with cloudless_portion or fill_portion filters (improves speed).
• Where possible, apply custom_filter before cloud/shadow detection in search (improves speed).
• Add a Sentinel-2 medoid composite tutorial.
• Fix Sentinel-2 shadow projection, and qa cloud_mask naming bugs.
• Update the documentation and STAC catalog.

v1.6.1

• Fix cloud storage export bug.

v1.6.0

• Add API and CLI support for exporting to Earth Engine asset and Google Cloud Storage.
• Allow command line chaining of Earth Engine asset export with download.
• Update documentation, and add section on user memory limits.

v1.5.3

Update STAC URLS with new GEDI, MODIS etc values.

v1.5.2

• Support downloading MODIS in native CRS.
• Bugfixes for searching and downloading unbounded MODIS imagery.
