2.4.0

Release notes

This release adds a couple of new options to the module:

1. The ability to overwrite the default platform in both the file name and the global attribute - this is particularly useful for mobile instruments where the default is "mobile" and always needs changing before submitting the data files to CEDA. This can be accessed using the platform option in the create_netcdf.main and create_netcdf.make_product_netcdf functions.
2. Metadata files can now be provided in YAML, JSON or XML formats, as well as CSV. The expected layout for these formats is described in a new page in the documentation.

Additionally, the return_open option in some functions has had its default option changed to True, in line with the deprecation policy, and the instrument_loc option in tsv2dict.product_dict and create_netcdf.make_product_netcdf is being deprecated in favour of platform.
