2024.11.27: Python downgrade

Allows python versions 3.9 to 4 instead of restricting to 3.11 only.

2024.11.6: Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue with the xarray engine loading.
• Added UI changes to the create method, including methods to display some of the found attributes.

CFA: Create Functionality

The October 11th (2024.10.11) release includes the following feature additions:

General:

• Name change: The package CFAPyX has now officially become cfapyx in every instance of the python package. The documentation and github repository will continue to use the capitalised version, but all installations and code examples should now use cfapyx on importing. In future the package may again change name to reflect the established use, and will most likely later become cf-aggregate - the official CF Aggregations package for CF 1.12.
• Logging: A standardised logger has been added to the cfapyx package, with limited logging messages for the xarray engine but an extensive collection within the create module.
• Mutable Defaults: cfapyx is now free from the evils of mutable defaults in all instances.
• Support for multiple locations: Fixed the method of determining trailing dimensions for the location parameter in CFA-netCDF files.
• Poetry: cfapyx now uses Poetry to handle project dependencies within the pyproject.toml file. The requirements files are still present for the current version, but will be removed with the next minor update.

CFA Create:

• CFANetCDF class for constructing CF-compliant Aggregation files. This is in alpha release for the 2024.10.11 version, but should perform well with expected NetCDF structures including scalar dimensions and variables, and identical variables across multiple files.

2024.9.2: Chunks and Optimisations

• Added Create partitions method for FragmentArrayWrapper. Applies chunk structure to all fragments, instead of overlapping.
• Added Optimise chunks routine when provided special kwarg 'optimised' for a chunkable dimension.

Version 2024.8.13: Functional Update

Release Notes:

• Multiple Aggregations per CFA-netCDF file.
• Base substitutions in CFA-netCDF files now handled correctly.
• Groups within CFA-netCDF files handled using GroupedDatasetWrapper
• Multiple trailing locations in location are handled properly. (Issue #3)
• Partial documentation including all code samples and docstrings now live!
• Basic testing suite now added to main branch.
• Size-1 dimension handling in partition version 1.1
• Dask Compute now fully flexible - all sub-dask objects return a copy of themselves when requested (Issue #6)
