wis2box 1.0b1 released

[tomkralidis]

This is the first beta release wis2box. This release includes a number of updates and bugfixes, including:

• new support for SYNOP to BUFR processing (add SYNOP support/pipeline #304)
• local station metadata management (manage station metadata locally #324)
• numerous documentation enhancements, including a user guide and reference documentation
• ensure API collections names are lower case
• streamlining of csv2bufr templates
• new WMO theme for documentation (implement custom WMO theme for documentation #74)
• refactored and streamlined repository (refactor and streamline repository #213)

User updates/changes

• station metadata is managed in $WIS2BOX_DATADIR/metadata/station/station_list.csv and is managed by the user
• station metadata in the API needs to be flushed manually given model changes. From the wis2box-management container (i.e. python3 wis2box-ctl.py login):
  • curl -XDELETE http://elasticsearch:9200/stations
  • wis2box-ctl.py metadata station publish-collection
• existing data-mappings.yml files need to be updated to point the csv2bufr data pipeline to use template synop_bufr.json (replacing synop-bufr.json)
