Release

Hi everyone, I'm just writing this up to give everyone an idea of my plans for the summer (and consequently the plans I have for pyDARN over the rest of the summer too), you might already know but I will be on parental leave from end of Sept/Oct onwards and would like to leave pyDARN in a good place for the time I'll be off, so, I was hoping to get all the nice new features and bug fixes everyone has been working on into a release in the coming months!

Release number: v 4.1.0

Scope

So we have lots of little changes to improve usability in this release, and some bug fixes that would be useful to be released soon.

Currently in develop ready for this release are:

Proposed Timeline

Branch made: 26th July Release branch testing deadline: 6th September

This timeline gives me 3 weeks to sort out the remaining things I want to develop, then gives testers 6 weeks to test and resolve any issues in the release branch. Which then gives me ~4 weeks to deal with any hot fixes or issues before I go on parental leave and I can leave pyDARN in a good condition for the coming year.

Pull Requests

All PRs already merged into develop will be included in this release Currently there is a bug in the develop branch for installation, this also need to be fixed soon.
