v0.18.0

Release Notes

New Features

• Add a new function called get_conus for downloading the daily meteorological data for the entire contiguous United States (CONUS) from the GridMet service, for given years and variables. This can be accessed from the CLI using, for example, pygridmet conus -y 2010 -v tmmn command.

Breaking Changes

• Drop support for Python 3.8 since its end-of-life date is October 2024.
• Remove all exceptions from the main module and raise them from the exceptions module. This is to declutter the public API and make it easier to maintain.
