The 2.4.0 release adds WMS 1.3.0 and WPS process harvesting as well as
plugin support enhancements.
Note that though pycsw works with Python 2 and 3, we have turned
off Python 2 testing given the Python 2 end of life
(https://pythonclock.org)
scheduled for 01 January 2020. Users are strongly encouraged to update
their deployments to Python 3 as soon as possible.

We are pleased to announce a new release of GeoPandas!
GeoPandas 0.5.0 includes some improvements for writing files with fiona
(better performance, better support for data types and mixed geometry
types), along with many other new features and bug fixes, see the full list
below.
GeoPandas can be installed with conda from the conda-forge channel (conda
install -c conda-forge geopandas) or with pip assuming the dependencies are
available for your platform or are already installed (pip install geopandas
).
Please report any issues, or request new features via our GitHub
repository: https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/issues
*What is it?*
GeoPandas is an open source project to make working with geospatial data in
python easier. GeoPandas combines the capabilities of pandas and shapely,
providing geospatial operations in pandas and a high-level interface to
multiple shapely geometries. GeoPandas enables you to easily do operations
in python that would otherwise require a spatial database such as PostGIS.
Documentation can be found here: http://geopandas.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
*What's new?*
Improvements:
- Significant performance improvement (around 10x) for
GeoDataFrame.iterfeatures, which also improves GeoDataFrame.to_file (#864
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/864>).
- File IO enhancements based on Fiona 1.8:
- Support for writing bool dtype (#855
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/855>) and datetime
dtype, if the file format supports it (#728
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/728>).
- Support for writing dataframes with multiple geometry types, if the
file format allows it (e.g. GeoJSON for all types, or ESRI Shapefile for
Polygon+MultiPolygon) (#827
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/827>, #867
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/issues/867>, #870
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/870>).
- Compatibility with pyproj >= 2 (#962
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/962>).
- A new geopandas.points_from_xy() helper function to convert x and y
coordinates to Point objects (#896
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/896>).
- The buffer and interpolate methods now accept an array-like to specify
a variable distance for each geometry (#781
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/781>).
- Addition of a relate method, corresponding to the shapely method that
returns the DE-9IM matrix (#853
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/853>).
- Plotting improvements:
- Performance improvement in plotting by only flattening the
geometries if there are actually 'Multi' geometries (#785
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/785>).
- Choropleths: access to all mapclassify classification schemes and
addition of the classification_kwds keyword in the plot method to
specify options for the scheme (#876
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/876>).
- Ability to specify a matplotlib axes object on which to plot the
color bar with the cax keyword, in order to have more control over
the color bar placement (#894
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/894>).
- Changed the default provider in geopandas.tools.geocode from Google
(now requires an API key) to Geocode.Farm (#907
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/907>, #975
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/975>).
Bug fixes:
- Remove the edge in the legend marker (#807
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/807>).
- Fix the align method to preserve the CRS (#829
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/829>).
- Fix geopandas.testing.assert_geodataframe_equal to correctly compare
left and right dataframes (#810
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/810>).
- Fix in choropleth mapping when the values contain missing values (#877
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/issues/877>).
- Better error message in sjoin if the input is not a GeoDataFrame (#842
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/842>).
- Fix in read_postgis to handle nullable (missing) geometries (#856
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/856>).
- Correctly passing through the parse_dates keyword in read_postgis to
the underlying pandas method (#860
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/860>).
- Fixed the shape of Antarctica in the included demo dataset
'naturalearth_lowres'
(by updating to the latest version) (#804
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/issues/804>).

*-- The GeoPandas developers*
GeoPandas 0.4.1 is a small bug-fix release for compatibility with the
latest Fiona and PySAL releases: (awaiting the upcoming feature release
0.5.0).
- Compatibility with Fiona 1.8: fix deprecation warning (#854
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/854> and #916
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/916>).
- Compatibility with PySAL 2.0: switched to mapclassify instead of PySAL
as
dependency for choropleth mapping with the scheme keyword (#872
<https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/872>).
- Fix for new overlay implementation in case the intersection is empty (
#800 <https://github.com/geopandas/geopandas/pull/800>).

Hi all,
I've uploaded wheels for Shapely 1.6a1 to PyPI and would love to hear from
anyone who finds that the linux wheels do not work so that I can fix them
before the beta and final releases.
Reminder: these wheel distributions include the GEOS lib and its
dependencies and are fairly large in size. The upside of this is that you
should be able to `pip install` on most any linux computer without having
to, e.g., `apt-get install libgeos-dev` as root. Exactly as we can do for
Numpy, SciPy, etc.

Dear all,
I just put together a small library, that allow relatively easy change of
the netCDF file headers. Maybe some of you find it useful.
Please note that it's a very early alpha, but basic functionality seems to
be working fine.

Best,
Nikolay
