New features:
- Add customizable downloaders. Delegate file download into separate classes that can be passed to Pooch.fetch. Created the HTTPDownloader class (used by default) which can also be used to download files that require authentication/login. (#66)
- Add post-download processor hooks to Pooch.fetch. Allows users to pass in a function that is executed right before returning and can overwrite the file path that is returned by fetch. Use this, for example, to perform unpacking/decompression operations on larger files that can be time consuming and we only want to do once. (#59)
- Add the Unzip post-download processor to extract files from a downloaded zip archive. Unpacks files into a directory in the local store and returns a list of all unzipped files. (#72)
- Make the check_version function public. It’s used internally but will be useful in examples that want to download things from the pooch repository. (#69)
Maintenance:
- Pin sphinx to version 1.8.5. New versions of Sphinx (
2.0.*) are messing up the numpydoc style docstrings. (#64)
