Judging by the changelog, there seems to be a lot of projection and coordinate system related changes, which won't really have much of an effect on the metadata we're producing now. A number of cell methods have been added in Appendix E. There are a number of errata, but most seem to be to clarify the conventions document.

Some things:

actual_range, actual_min, actual_max might be worth looking into. My understanding is that valid_* represents the maximum permissible min/max of the data, NOT the min/max of the data present in the dataset.

Making sure standard names which imply positive/negative match with the positive attribute: https://cf-trac.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/109
