rasterio 1.4b2

on Python PyPI

Deprecations

• rasterio.parse_path() was deprecated in version 1.3.0 and has been removed (#2423). The project has raised a deprecation warning on usage of this function for more than two years and has contacted dependent projects to change their usage.

Bug fixes

• When reprojecting a masked array, we now use the mask (reduced) as an alpha band. There is now also an option to create an alpha band in the output, and turn that into a mask when returning a mask array (#3156).
• Find installed GDAL data directory by searching for gdalvrt.xsd (#3157).
• Allow rasterio.open() to receive instances of MemoryFile (#3145).
• Leaks of CSL string lists in get/set_proj_data_search_path() have been fixed (#3140).
• Color interpretation is correctly set to "palette" after a colormap is written (#3133).

Other changes

• _OverviewResampling enum renamed to OverviewResampling (#3151).
