E3SM Diagnostics Package - v3.0.0 Modernization with Xarray and xCDAT

What's Changed

v3.0.0 marks a major milestone after nearly two years of work by the core development team. This release introduces a completely new back-end, replacing CDAT with Xarray and xCDAT. Due to the significant scale of code changes, this has been incremented as a major release. The user-facing API for running E3SM Diagnostics remains backward-compatible between v2 and v3.

The modernization improves performance, usability, and maintainability, paving the way for future enhancements to E3SM development. The refactored codebase is now more robust and extensively covered by unit tests, setting a solid foundation for ongoing testing and development.

This release also includes several new enhancements including support for more EAMxx variables, standardization of regridding with xESMF's conservative_normed method, and improving diagnostic run performance by skipping unnecessary regridding of datasets with the same lat-lon grid.

We are excited to share this release with the E3SM community and remain committed to continuously improving the software!

E3SM Diagnostics Package - v2.12.1 A Fond Farewell to CDAT

As we release version v2.12.1 of E3SM Diags, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge and express our gratitude to the developers and contributors from the CDAT (Climate Data Analysis Tools) community. Over the years, CDAT has been an invaluable tool for our development and analysis processes. This release marks a milestone, as it will be the final version of E3SM Diags that includes a dependency on CDAT.

Looking ahead, E3SM Diags will transition to utilizing xarray/xCDAT tools, which align with our future goals and enhances the performance and usability of our software. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our users and will provide backward compatibility in upcoming releases.
