- new standardized metadata fields orbitNumber_abs, orbitNumber_rel, cycleNumber and frameNumber for all SAR formats
- customization of output file names with additional metadata fields (e.g. orbit numbers)
- pyroSAR configuration file handling: the paths to the SNAP and Gamma installation as well as relevant metadata directories are now registered in a configuration file config.ini, which is stored in a directory .pyrosar in the user home directory
- improved SNAP installation verification: pyroSAR now performs a deeper check of the SNAP installation to make sure it is not mistaken with e.g. the Ubuntu package manager snap; relevant installation executables and directories are stored in the configuration file
- deeper integration of package spatialist: all the spatial file handling functionality that was part of pyroSAR is now part of package spatialist; now all the functionality is imported from spatialist and removed from pyroSAR
- improved search for datasets processed by pyroSAR: new helper functions exist, which make it easier to search for datasets by metadata fields, which are internally searched for in the respective file names
- introduced gamma function parser: these new tools search for a GAMMA_HOME environment variable and, if found, parse Python functions from the docstring of respective command line tools; for this, new Python scripts are created, which are stored alongside the configuration file in the user home directory; this way users can easily use Python functions with named parameters instead of the positional arguments of the Gamma command line tools
- improved documentation
functionality to export processed datasets directly to an Open Data Cube: it is now possible to create Open Data Cube product YML files as well as YML files for data indexing and ingestion into this product; pyroSAR also internally checks for compatibility of a particular dataset with the target product; this way, the resulting files can easily be passed to the Open Data Cube command line tools several bug fixes
improved SNAP processing workflow node linking: it is now possible to add a node also before an existing one, instead of just after it
- add trove classifiers for supported operating systems and MIT license for easier online search
- exchange http with https for all URLs that support it

arbitrary nodes can now be parsed. Before, only a small selection of nodes (those used by function :func:`~pyroSAR.snap.util.geocode`) were available. Now, any node and its default parametrization can be parsed to XML from the GPT documentation by internally calling e.g.:
gpt Terrain-Flattening -h

- function :func:`pyroSAR.auxdata.dem_autoload`:
- new argument crop to optionally return the full extent of all overlapping DEM tiles

- class :class:`pyroSAR.drivers.BEAM_DIMAP`: new attributes meta['incidence'] and meta['image_geometry']

- improved backwards compatibility:
- use multi_look_ScanSAR if present and multi_S1_TOPS otherwise
- use gc_map2 if possible (present and with all needed arguments) and gc_map otherwise

- function :func:`pyroSAR.snap.auxil.erode_edges`:
- do not attempt to perform erosion if the image only contains nodata (this might happen if only parts of the image were geocoded)
- make sure that a backscatter image is used for erosion (auxiliary data like the local incidence angle often has a larger valid data extent and using such image for erosion would thus not properly erode edges of the backscatter images; additionally this has the effect that all images will have the same valid data extent after erosion)
- the written mask files (delineating valid data and nodata after erosion of the backscatter image and used for masking all other images) are now compressed (deflate) so that data volume is decreased significantly
- function :func:`pyroSAR.auxdata.dem_create`:
- new argument resampleAlg to change the resampling algorithm
