v1.0.0
10cb76c

This is the 1.0 release, bringing a stable API to the library and a first set of basic functionality available to end users.

Besides all the changes introduced initially in the previous two release candidates (rc1 and rc2), the following features have been added:

  • Support for memory-efficient, window-based reading from local files (#86).
  • The url keyword is deprecated in favor of source (#90, #125).
  • The zoom level is now validated if the minimum and maximum zoom of the provider is known (#108).
  • Optionally set cache directory to a permanent directory with set_cache_dir (#106).

The project has also graduated from an individual account (darribas) to an organisational one, kindly hosted by the geopandas project:

https://github.com/geopandas/contextily/

This is to better reflect the broader community involved in the development of the project, as well as to increase its visibility. Issues and Pull Requests should be directed at contextily's new home.

A new documentation site has been created and made available at:
