v1.7.0

CoastSeg v1.7.0

Release Date: 12/3/2025

Highlights

• Cleaner, more reliable CoastSeg

  • Internal cleanup and refactoring to make CoastSeg easier to maintain and less error-prone.
  • Clearer documentation and type hints to help anyone reading or extending the code.
  • Removal of unused files and functions to reduce clutter.

• Smoother model downloads

  • Improved handling of model file downloads so that problems are reported more clearly instead of failing silently.

• CoastSat notebook UI polish

  • The CoastSat notebook menu now uses bordered boxes to group related controls.
  • Important actions (like removing features or applying tide correction) are visually highlighted so they’re easier to find and understand.
  • Overall, the notebook should feel more organized and friendlier for new users.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed GEE double-login issue (closes #307)
  • Previously, when Google Earth Engine credentials expired, users could be asked to log in twice.
  • The authentication flow now correctly saves refreshed credentials after a single successful login.
