Eradiate release v1.1.0!

We just released Eradiate v1.1.0, available on GitHub! This is the result of 6 months of development, during which we reduced the technical debt induced by our dependency tree, but also implemented new features.

We tried our best to:

• Rely on mature packages so we can be certain that the integrations we design last long.
• Minimize the scope of our dependencies to avoid including lots of unused code in the user’s environment.
• Increase our Python version coverage to allow users to deploy Eradiate in as many different environments as possible.

However, this release was not only about technical debt and performance! We also added the following features:

• Few land surface reflection models describe how surfaces interact with polarized light, so we added a polarized surface reflection model based on the work of Maignan et al. (2009).
• Support for surface response function data in the Eradiate workflow was incomplete, so we made some changes to the BandSRF interface to allow constructing Gaussian SRFs easily and retrieving the band’s central wavelength. The output data now also includes the band central wavelength as a scalar coordinate, when available.
