v0.19.0

New features

• Added parsers.parse_rv to extract a Command value from an RV file. (PR #503)
• New module ravenpy.testing has been added to provide utility functions and support for testing and testing data management. (PR #513)

Breaking changes

• ravenpy now requires pooch>=1.8.0 for downloading and caching remote testing data. (PR #513)
• ravenpy.utilities.testdata has been refactored to new module ravenpy.testing. The publish_release_notes function is now located in ravenpy.utilities.publishing. (PR #513)
• The ravenpy.testing.utils module now provides a yangtze() class for fetching and caching the raven-testdata testing data. A convenience function (get_file) replaces the previous get_local_testdata. (PR #513)
• The ravenpy.testing.utils.open_dataset function no longer supports OPeNDAP URLs or local file paths. Instead, it uses the yangtze() class to fetch datasets from the testing data repository or the local cache. Users should now use xarray.open_dataset() directly for OPeNDAP URLs or local files. (PR #513)

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug affecting GriddedForcing, where station_idx in the call to nc_specs was set to 1 instead of None. (PR #501)
• Fixed bug in the run method, where overwrite=False was not being respected. (PR #503)
• Pin scipy below v1.16.0 due to a breaking change that affects statsmodels below v0.14.4. (PR #521)

Internal changes

• ravenpy now requires xclim>=0.57.0 and xsdba (v0.4.0+). (PR #511)
• The tests folder no longer contains an __init__.py file and is no longer treated as a package. pytest fixtures from emulators.py are now directly imported into conftest.py for use in tests, and existing pytest fixtures have been modified to use the new yangtze() class for fetching testing data. (PR #513)
