Increase the required CDS API library version #34

Closed pont-us closed 3 years ago

pont-us commented 3 years ago

Currently, the environment file for xcube-cds specifies cdsapi >=0.2.7. Newer versions are available: 0.3.1 has been out since November 2020, and 0.5.1 has just been released on GitHub -- I assume that a conda-forge release will follow shortly.

It's hard to determine exactly what improvements have been made since 0.2.7, since there's no changelog and the commit messages are very brief. But updating the minimum required version to 0.5.1 makes sense nevertheless, since it reduces the chance of incompatibility with the Copernicus server and simplifies the environment solving step during installation of the conda environment.

The conda-forge 0.5.1 release did indeed follow swiftly. Since conda/mamba prefer more recent versions, cdsapi 0.5.1 has been in use with xcube-cds for several months now without any problems arising, so I think it's safe to bump the version specifier.
