v1.0.1

Changed

• HREFs in Link objects with rel == "self" are converted to absolute HREFs (#574)

v1.0.0

Added

• ProjectionExtension.crs_string to provide a single string to describe the coordinate reference system (CRS).
  Useful because projections can be defined by EPSG code, WKT, or projjson.
  (#548)
• SAR Extension summaries(#556)
• Migration for sar:type -> sar:product_type and sar:polarization ->
  sar:polarizations for pre-0.9 catalogs
  (#556)
• Migration from eo:epsg -> proj:epsg for pre-0.9 catalogs (#557)
• Collection summaries for Point Cloud Extension (#558)
• PhenomenologyType enum for recommended values of pc:type & SchemaType enum for
  valid values of type in Point Cloud Schema
  Objects
  (#548)
• to_dict and equality definition for extensions.item_asset.AssetDefinition (#564)
• Asset.common_metadata property (#563)

Changed

• The from_dict method on STACObjects will set the object's root link when a root parameter is present. An ItemCollection from_dict with a root parameter will set the root on each of it's Items. (#549)
• Calling ExtensionManagementMixin.validate_has_extension with add_if_missing = True
  on an ownerless Asset will raise a STACError (#554)
• PointcloudSchema -> Schema, PointcloudStatistic -> Statistic for consistency
  with naming convention in other extensions
  (#548)
• RequiredPropertyMissing always raised when trying to get a required property that is
  None (STACError or KeyError was previously being raised in some cases)
  (#561)

Fixed

• Added Collections as a type that can be extended for extensions whose fields can appear in collection summaries (#547)
• Allow resolved self links when getting an object's self href (#555)
• Fixed type annotation on SummariesLabelExtension.label_properties setter (#562)
• Allow comparable types with alternate parameter naming of lt method to pass structural type linting for RangeSummary (#562)

  all child Collections for a catalog and its children (#511)

Changed

• Renamed Asset.properties -> Asset.extra_fields and Link.properties ->
  Link.extra_fields for consistency with other STAC objects
  (#510)

Fixed

• Bug in pystac.serialization.identify_stac_object_type where invalid objects with
  stac_version == 1.0.0 were incorrectly identified as Catalogs
  (#487)
• Link constructor classes (e.g. Link.from_dict, Link.canonical, etc.) now return
  the calling class instead of always returning the Link class
  (#512)
• Sat extension now includes all fields defined in v1.0.0
  (#509)

Removed

• STAC_IO class in favor of StacIO. This was deprecated in v1.0.0-beta.1 and has
  been removed in this release. (#490)
• Support for Python 3.6 (#500)

v1.0.0-rc.2

Added

• Add a preserve_dict parameter to ItemCollection.from_dict and set it to False when
  using ItemCollection.from_file.
  (#468)
• StacIO.json_dumps and StacIO.json_loads methods for JSON
  serialization/deserialization. These were "private" methods, but are now "public" and
  documented (#471)

  (#471)

v1.0.0-rc.1

Added

• License file included in distribution (#409)
• Links to Issues, Discussions, and documentation sites (#409)

• ItemCollection class for working with GeoJSON FeatureCollections containing only
  STAC Items (#430)
• Support for Python 3.9 (#420)
• Migration for pre-1.0.0-rc.1 Stats Objects (renamed to Range Objects in 1.0.0-rc.3) (#447)
• Attempting to extend a STACObject that does not contain the extension's schema URI in
  stac_extensions raises new ExtensionNotImplementedError (#450)
• STACObject.from_dict now takes a preserve_dict parameter, which if False will avoid a call to deepcopy on the passed in dict and can result in performance gains (defaults to True. Reading from a file will use preserve_dict=False resulting in better performance. (#454)

Changed

• Package author to stac-utils, email to [email protected], url to this repo (#409)
• StacIO.read_json passes arbitrary positional and keyword arguments to
  StacIO.read_text (#433)
• FileExtension updated to work with File Info Extension v2.0.0 (#442)
• FileExtension only operates on pystac.Asset instances (#442)
• *Extension.ext methods now have an optional add_if_missing argument, which will
  add the extension schema URI to the object's stac_extensions list if it is not
  present (#450)
• from_file and from_dict methods on STACObject sub-classes always return instance
  of calling class (#451)

Fixed

• EOExtension.get_bands returns None for asset without EO bands (#406)
• identify_stac_object_type returns None and identify_stac_object raises STACTypeError for non-STAC objects
  (#402)
• ExtensionManagementMixin.add_to is now idempotent (only adds schema URI to
  stac_extensions once per Item regardless of the number of calls) (#419)
• Version check for when extensions changed from short links to schema URIs
  (#455)
• Schema URI base for STAC 1.0.0-beta.1 (#455)

v1.0.0-beta.3

Added

• Summaries for View Geometry, Projection, and Scientific extensions (#372)
• Raster extension support (#364)
• solar_illumination field in eo extension (#356)
• Added Link.canonical static method for creating links with "canonical" rel type (#351)
• Added RelType enum containing common rel values (#351)
• Added support for summaries (#264)

Fixed

• Links to STAC Spec point to latest supported version (#368)
• Links to STAC Extension pages point to repos in stac-extensions GitHub org (#368)
• Collection assets (#373)

Removed

• Two v0.6.0 examples from the test suite (#373)

v1.0.0-beta.2

Changed

• Split DefaultStacIO's reading and writing into two methods to allow subclasses to use the default link resolution behavior (#354)
• Increased test coverage for the pointcloud extension (#352)

Fixed

• Reading json without orjson (#348)

Removed

• Removed type information from docstrings, since it is redundant with function type
  annotations (#342)

v1.0.0-beta.1

Added

• Added type annotations across the library (#309)
• Added assets to collections (#309)
• item_assets extension (#309)
• datacube extension (#309)
• Added specific errors: ExtensionAlreadyExistsError, ExtensionTypeError, and RequiredPropertyMissing; moved custom exceptions to pystac.errors (#309)

Fixed

• Validation checks in a few tests (#346)

Changed

• API change: The extension API changed significantly. See (#309) for more details.
• API change: Refactored the global STAC_IO object to an instance-specific StacIO implementation. STAC_IO is deprecated and will be removed next release. (#309)
• Asset.get_absolute_href returns None if no absolute href can be inferred (previously the relative href that was passed in was returned) (#309)

Removed

• Removed properties from Collections (#309)
• Removed LinkMixin, and implemented those methods on STACObject directly. STACObject was the only class using LinkMixin and this should not effect users (#309
• Removed single-file-stac extension; this extension is being removed in favor of ItemCollection usage (#309

Version 0.5.6

Added

• HIERARCHICAL_LINKS array constant of all the types of hierarchical links (self is not included) (#290)

Fixed

• Fixed error when accessing the statistics attribute of the pointcloud extension when no statistics were defined (#282)
• Fixed exception being thrown when calling set_self_href on items with assets that have relative hrefs (#291)

Changed

• Link behavior - link URLs can be either relative or absolute. Hierarchical (e.g., parent, child) links are made relative or absolute based on the value of the root catalog's catalog_type field (#290)
• Internal self hrefs are set automatically when adding Items or Children to an existing catalog. This removes the need to call normalize_hrefs or manual setting of the hrefs for newly added STAC objects (#294)
• Catalog.generate_subcatalogs is an order of magnitude faster (#295)

Removed

• Removed LinkType class and the link_type field from links (#290)

Version 0.5.5

Added

• Added support for STAC file extension (#270)

Fixed

• Fix handling of optional properties when using apply on view extension (#259)
• Fixed issue with setting None into projection extension fields that are not required breaking validation (#269)
• Remove unnecessary deepcopy calls in to_dict methods to avoid costly overhead (#273)

Changed

• Subclass relevant classes from enum.Enum. This allows iterating over the class' contents. The __str__ method is overwritten so this should not break backwards compatibility. (#261)
• Extract method to correctly handle setting properties in Item/Asset for ItemExtensions (#272)
