Regionmask Versions Save

Enhancements

• Add landmask/ land 110m from Natural Earth (#21)
• Moved some imports to functions, so import regionmask is faster
• Adapted docs for python 3.6.

Bug Fixes

• Columns of geodataframes can be in lower ('name') or upper case ('NAME') (#25)
• Links to github issues not working, due to missing sphinx.ext.extlinks (#26)
• Docs: mask_xarray.ipynb: mask no longer needs a name (as of #5).

This is a bugfix/ cleanup release.

Bug Fixes

• travis was configured wrong - it always tested on python 2.7, thus some python 3 issues went unnoticed (#14).
• natural_earth was not properly imported (#10).
• A numpy scalar of dtype integer is not int - i.e. isinstance(np.int32, int) is False (#11).
• In python 3 zip is an iterator (and not a list), thus it failed on mask (#15).
• Removed unnecessary files (ne_downloader.py and naturalearth.py).
• Resolved conflicting region outlines in the Giorgi regions (#17).

• Allow passing 2 dimensional latitude and longitude grids (#8).

• Add name for xarray mask (#3). By Mathias Hauser.
• overhaul of the documentation
• move rtd / matplotlib handling to background
