PySPEDAS v2.1.0

• Added new tools tplotxy and tplotxy3 for plotting orbits, field line traces, etc.
• Fixed a small inaccuracy in gse2sse reported by seanaqyoung (the sse_y axis needed to be normalized, else the rotation matrices were not quite orthonormal)
• Fixed a bug where axis_font_size and other settings were not propagated to varlabels when using 'extra axes' style
• Slight change in handling of UNITS attributes in CDFs (now return scalar unit strings if array-valued units were all the same)
• Ported IDL bshock_2 routine to PySPEDAS to model bow shock location
• Changed mms_qcotrans to interpolate quaternions to data times, rather than the other way around
• Full Changelog: v2.0.10...v2.1.0

PySPEDAS v2.0.8

What's Changed

• Remove unused bottleneck imports from particle energy spectrogram code by @Beforerr in #1308
• Ensure that Python datetimes are explicitly converted to np.datetime64[ns] values in store_data
• kyoto.load_ae() can now load realtime as well as provisional AE, AL, AU, and AO index data.
• When generating heat flux moments in moments_3d, apply spacecraft potential corrections to the observed particle energies

• Updated mth5 tests to work with changed server responses to bad requests
• Updated "Getting Started" documentation with more information on how to find and use example PySPEDAS Jupyter notebooks
• Pinned setuptools to < 82.0.0 until some dependencies adapt to removal of the pkg_resources module

Full Changelog: v2.0.7...v2.0.8

PySPEDAS v2.0.7

• Latest MTH5/mt-metadata release has problems loading FDSN data, pinning upper version limit until resolved.
• Added ensure_writeable flag to get_data routine, sometimes needed for pandas 3.0+ compatibility if caller needs to modify returned v, v1, v2 etc. arrays
• If time inputs to store_data are np.datetime64 objects with units other than nanoseconds, convert to nanoseconds before storing (for pandas 3.0+ compatibility)

Full Changelog: v2.0.5...v2.0.6

PySPEDAS v2.0.5

What's Changed

• Initial release of PySPEDAS 2.0 series
