For a full list of changes, please consult the change log

Breaking changes

These changes have the potential to change answers in existing scripts when compared with older versions of RdTools
Use the pvlib method for clear sky detection by default in TrendAnalysis()
Change default clipping filter model to logic
Turn on the two_way_window_filter by default in TrendAnalysis
Upgrade pvlib 0.9.0 to 0.11.0

Enhancements

Added framework for running aggregated filters in analysis_chains.py
The Combined estimation Of Degradation and Soiling (CODS) algorithm is implemented in the soiling module and illustrated in an example notebook
New plotting functions rdtools.analysis_chains.TrendAnalysis.plot_degradation_timeseries() in TrendAnalysis object and rdtools.plotting.degradation_timeseries_plot() to plot time series degradation trend.
Specifying detailed=True in rdtools.plotting.degradation_summary_plots() now shows the number of year-on-year slopes in addition to color coding points
Add CITATION.cff file for citation information
Added checks to TrendAnalysis for filter_params and filter_params_aggregated. Raises an error if unkown filter is supplied
Added a new wrapper function for clearsky filters
Added codecov.yml configuration file
Availability module no longer considered experimental
Allow sub-daily aggregation in degradation_year_on_year()
Circular block bootstrapping added as a method for calculating uncertainty in degradation_year_on_year() via the Uncertainty_method argument
