CHANGELOG.md

@@ -22,7 +22,8 @@ Removed:
 - `ImpactFunc` and `ImpactFuncSet` now support equality comparisons via `==` [#1027](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1027)
 
 ### Changed
-
+- Changed the default mask_distance in `util.plot.geo_im_from_array` to 0.03 to avoid white gaps in gridded hazard data with comparably low resolution (>80 centroids per axis) [#1073](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1073)
+- Increased speed of `util.plot.add_shapes` by avoiding for loops, substantially speeding up `Hazard.plot_intensity` and other functions. [#1073](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1073)
 - `Hazard.local_exceedance_intensity`, `Hazard.local_return_period` and `Impact.local_exceedance_impact`, `Impact.local_return_period`, using the `climada.util.interpolation` module: New default (no binning), binning on decimals, and faster implementation [#1012](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1012)
 - World Bank indicator data is now downloaded directly from their API via the function `download_world_bank_indicator`, instead of relying on the `pandas-datareader` package [#1033](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1033)
 - `Exposures.write_hdf5` pickles geometry data in WKB format, which is faster and more sustainable. [#1051](https://github.com/CLIMADA-project/climada_python/pull/1051)
