Release Notes

New Features

Add access to USGS 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) service. The new class is called HP3D. It can be queried by IDs, geometry, or SQL where clause.
Add support for the new PyGeoAPI endpoints called xsatpathpts. This new endpoint is useful for getting elevation profile along A shapely.LineString. You can use pygeoapi function with service="elevation_profile" (or PyGeoAPI class) to access this new endpoint. Previously, the elevation_profile endpoint was used for getting elevation profile along a path from two endpoints and the input GeoDataFrame must have been a MultiPoint with two coordinates. Now, you must the input must contain LineString geometries.
Switch to using the new smoothing algorithm from pygeoutils for resampling the flowlines and getting their cross-sections. This new algorithm is more robust, accurate, and faster. It has a new argument called smoothing for controlling the number knots of the spline. Higher values result in smoother curves. The default value is None which uses all the points from the input flowline.
