noaa-gml-file-reader 2.0.4

Adds distribution-validation tooling; CI and publish workflow hardening.

noaa-gml-file-reader 2.0.3

Documentation site + metadata polish — no code changes. Sphinx docs hosted on Read the Docs (shipped in-tag, fixing the tag-based "stable" build), Documentation URL in the PyPI project links, absolute README links, and the shields.io DOI badge.

Full details: CHANGELOG.md

v2.0.2

Citation metadata only — no code changes.

• Added .zenodo.json and an author ORCID in CITATION.cff, so this release is archived on Zenodo with a citable DOI and correct software metadata.

v2.0.1

Docs & packaging release — no code changes.

• New "Problems this solves" section in the README mapping common queries (reading NOAA GML CO₂/CH₄ files, loading Mauna Loa flask data into pandas) to read_data
• Corrected the PyPI install note and narrowed the in-situ dialect table to the surveyed (hourly) product
• Expanded keywords; added Source and Bug Tracker project URLs

See CHANGELOG.md for details.

v2.0.0

[2.0.0] — 2026-07-08

Modernization release. Breaking — the package is renamed and unparseable
input now raises instead of returning an empty DataFrame.

Changed

• Renamed the package: import noaa_esrl_gmd_file_reader →
  noaa_gml_file_reader, distribution noaa-gml-file-reader. NOAA renamed
  ESRL's Global Monitoring Division (GMD) to the Global Monitoring Laboratory
  (GML) in 2020.
• read_data now auto-detects the header dialect and parses both the legacy
  # number_of_header_lines: format and the current # header_lines : format,
  extracting column names correctly for each.
• Documented missing-value sentinels (-999.99, -999.999, nan) are mapped to
  NaN so numeric columns parse numeric.
• Relicensed AGPL-3.0 → MIT.
• Modern packaging: pyproject.toml (hatchling), package split into
  _reader.py, full type hints, and updated docstrings.

Added

• UnrecognizedFormatError (carries the file path and its first line), raised on
  unrecognized, malformed, truncated, or empty input.
• Offline pytest suite over committed fixtures and a GitHub Actions CI workflow
  (ruff + pytest on Python 3.10–3.13 + python -m build + twine check).

Removed

• The silent empty-DataFrame return on parse failure (v1 behavior) — it made a
  parse failure indistinguishable from an empty file, so v1 failed silently on
  every current NOAA file.

Fixed

• Current (post-2020) NOAA GML files now parse instead of returning empty.
• The inconsistent GPL/AGPL wording in the v1 module docstring (removed; the
  LICENSE file governs).
