v0.12.0

Breaking Changes

• Default coordinate order for plain bounding boxes is now EPSG:4326 native axis order: (latitude, longitude)
• Bounding boxes are returned as [minlat, minlon, maxlat, maxlon] instead of [minlon, minlat, maxlon, maxlat]
• GeoJSON output always uses [longitude, latitude] coordinate order per RFC 7946
• Add --legacy CLI flag and legacy=True Python API parameter to restore the previous [lon, lat] order for plain bounding boxes (does not affect GeoJSON output)

New Content Providers

• Add Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre data portal provider (#66)
• Support for CKAN-based repositories via new CKANProvider base class
• Add BGR Geoportal content provider with ISO 19139 metadata extraction (#61)

New Features

• Add support for world files (.wld, .jgw, .pgw, .tfw, etc.) (#36)
• Add --keep-files option to preserve downloaded files for debugging
• Dynamically generated supported formats list
• Explicitly remove temp files on cleanup (#82)

Bug Fixes

• Skip layers with degenerate extent [0,0,0,0] and emit a user-visible warning instead of silently including invalid coordinates
• Fix resource leak for GeoPackage/SQLite-backed files (unclosed database connections)

Improvements

• Enable parallel test execution by default using pytest-xdist (#38)
• Refactor CRS extraction into shared utility function
• Harden CSV handler: force CSV GDAL driver to prevent misidentification, add extension-based pre-filtering, improve geometry column detection
• Optimize gazetteer queries to avoid duplicate API calls for closed polygon points
• Suppress noisy pandas date-parsing warnings during temporal extent detection
