v3.1.0

updated features:

• new function get_admin1_geometries: return GeoDataFrame with geometries of admin 1 regions within given countries.
• 'set_' method deprecated. New methods 'from_'.
• '+init CRS specs' deprecated.
• data-api client refactored:
  • method names changed, list_data_type_infos returns only data types with active datasets (data types with only test data are hidden)
  • concatenation of CLIMADA objects was removed from get_hazard and get_exposures
• util.interpolate
  • refactoring: the module util.interpolate was removed and the methods therein were refactored and integrated in util.coordinates.
  • a new method _nearest_neighbor_euclidean was added to find nearest neighbors with a k-d tree using Euclidean metric.
  • the default distance for exposure.assign_centroids was changed to euclidean. This is faster than haversine for (quasi-)gridded data but less accurate.
• TCTracks.from_ibtracs_netcdf: now stores selected agency for each track variable
• Uncertainty Quantification
  • renaming module from uncertainty_quantification to unsequa
  • updating of all plotting methods
  • addition of helper methods for the most common uncertainty input parameters for exposures, hazard, impact functions, entities, measures.
• hazard.select works with extent.
• addition of hazard.select_tight to reduce a hazard to a box around an exposure.
• adaptations to Natural Earth (v5.0.0) from 2021-12-08. The file format has changed and posed a problem to the shapefile.Reader, which consequently was replaced by shapereader.Reader.
  Note: This may lead to a KeyError 'GDP_MD' in various places, e.g. climada.util.finance.nat_earth_adm0. To come over it, remove the cached Natural Earth files in ~/.local/share/cartopy/shapefiles/natural_earth/.
