+This version is most likely the last version before wradlib 2.0. We've switched to use `xradar <https://docs.openradarscience.org/projects/xradar>`_ for reading radar data in polar coordinates. The relevant code has been ported from wradlib to xradar and only a shallow compatibility layer is kept in wradlib.
