PyWAsP 0.7.0 and Windkit 0.8.0 released

[Neil Davis]

We have released new versions of PyWAsP and Windkit.

Windkit has a number of deprecations, please pay attention if you are using these. We aren't sure how long we should keep deprecations around, please let us know if you have thoughts on this.

PyWAsP has a number of breaking changes, we are closing in on a more stable API, but still expect a few more breaking changes.

The highlights of Windkit include a new Long Term Correct module, an improved WindTurbines class, better integration with GeoPanandas, Improvements to downloading of raster and vector maps, and a new function to implement cross prediction. Full release notes can be found at: https://docs.wasp.dk/windkit/release_notes.html#id1

For PyWAsP the main highlight is the new climate extrapolation functions. These functions allow the prediction of either binned or weibull wind climates without creating a generalized wind climate lookup table, reducing interpolation errors. The binned wind climate to binned wind climate approach was presented at the Wind Europe Technical Workshop for Resource Assessment. In addition, new BWC resampling functions have been added, we have included support for custom root CA certificates, and have been able to improve performance for a number of functions.
