What’s new in 1.3.0 (13 September 2024)

These are the changes in icepyx 1.3.0 See icepyx ChangeLog for a full changelog including other versions of icepyx.

Warning

This is anticipated to be the last release in v1 of icepyx.

NSIDC (the NASA DAAC that hosts ICESat-2 data) is transitioning their API endpoint from the on-premises EGI system to the cloud-based Harmony services. icepyx is being updated to access these new services; the only change users will experience concerns services that are no longer available (e.g. reformatting).

The developers plan to use this version change to implement additional breaking changes concerning the Query module, transitioning it’s functionality to use the earthaccess library instead.
