v0.10.0

What's Changed

• Release 0.10.0: migration to rio-tiler by @banesullivan in Release 0.10.0: migration to rio-tiler #183

This release marks a significant re-implementation of localtileserver. The backing tiler has been changed from large-image to rio-tiler. The overall result is improved performance, simplified dependencies, improved compatibility with the rasterio ecosystem, and many bug/quirk fixes like #172, #159, #147

This release unfortunately has many breaking changes and some loss of features. The breaking changes are mostly around API renaming and some methods changing to properties. Otherwise, I stripped out features that are just better handled upstream or not needed here.

This may be a painful upgrade considering how much has changed. Highlights:

• band is now indexes to follow rio-tiler's implementation (deprecation warning is issued in parts of the API)
• cmap is now colormap (deprecation warning is issued in parts of the API)
• palette is now colormap
• Custom colormaps are no longer supported
• No more region of interest extraction
• Access to underlying rasterio dataset is now via the .dataset property
• COG validation no longer raises errors, but returns a True/False
• metadata() method is now a metadata property
• No more support for remote servers (niche feature)
• Some return values of things like bounds, metadata, etc may have changed now that they are fetched from rio-tiler

For those looking for more details, I recommend checking out the diff specifically for the test directory to see what has changed in #183

Excited to see all these improvements! The support for custom colormaps will be missed.

The support for custom colormaps will be missed.

Yeah, hopefully using named matplotlib ones will be okay in the meantime. We can re-add this functionality pretty easily I think, I just need a few examples of how people would like to do it. Would you be able to open a new issue with an example or two of custom colormaps?

[giswqs]

Sure, will do.

cc @vincentsarago, you might be pleased to see I made the switch to rio-tiler. I'd love to get your take on this and my usage of rio-tiler in localtileserver/tiler/handler.py.

Further, I'm curious how you see localtileserver and rio-viz coexisting in the Jupyter world? My impression is rio-viz is mostly targeted as a standalone web app that could be used in Jupyter, is that right?

[vincentsarago]

👍 looks good 👏

Absolutely, rio-viz audience wasn't targeted at Jupyter at first. I'm still not really please with the Jupyter integration anyway so I might get rid of it at one point!
