v1.6rc1 Easter Bilby (10 April 2018)

This is the first release in a while, and so there’s a lot of changes, including
some significant refactoring, with the potential having issues when upgrading.

Backwards Incompatible Fixes

  • Drop Support for Python 2. Python 3.5 is now the earliest supported Python version.
  • Removed the old ndexpr, analytics and execution engine code. There is work underway in the execution engine branch to replace these features.

Enhancements

  • Support for third party drivers, for custom data storage and custom index implementations

  • The correct way to get an Index connection in code is to use datacube.index.index_connect().

  • Changes in ingestion configuration

    • Must now specify the Data Write Plug-ins to use. For s3 ingestion there was a top level container specified, which has been renamed and moved under storage. The entire storage section is passed through to the Data Write Plug-ins, so drivers requiring other configuration can include them here. eg:

      ...
storage:
  ...
  driver: s3aio
  bucket: my_s3_bucket
...

  • Added a Dockerfile to enable automated builds for a reference Docker image.

  • Multiple environments can now be specified in one datacube config. See PR 298 and the Runtime Config

    • Allow specifying which index_driver should be used for an environment.

  • Command line tools can now output CSV or YAML. (Issue issue 206, PR 390)

  • Support for saving data to NetCDF using a Lambert Conformal Conic Projection (PR 329)

  • Lots of documentation updates:

    • Information about Bit Masking.
    • A description of how data is loaded.
    • Some higher level architecture documentation.
    • Updates on how to index new data.

Bug Fixes

  • Allow creation of datacube.utils.geometry.Geometry objects from 3d representations. The Z axis is simply thrown away.
  • The datacube --config_file option has been renamed to datacube --config, which is shorter and more consistent with the other options. The old name can still be used for now.
  • Fix a severe performance regression when extracting and reprojecting a small region of data. (PR 393)
  • Fix for a somewhat rare bug causing read failures by attempt to read data from a negative index into a file. (PR 376)
  • Make CRS equality comparisons a little bit looser. Trust either a Proj.4 based comparison or a GDAL based comparison. (Closed issue 243)

New Data Support

  • Added example prepare script for Collection 1 USGS data; improved band handling and downloads.
  • Add a product specification and prepare script for indexing Landsat L2 Surface Reflectance Data (PR 375)
  • Add a product specification for Sentinel 2 ARD Data (PR 342)
