3.11.0

This minor release includes the following fixes and features:

• General

  • InVEST Workbench released! A new desktop interface for InVEST
    models.
  • Add support for python 3.10, and drop support for python 3.7.
  • Fixed a bug where the model window would fail to open when using
    the natcap.invest package with python 3.9.0 - 3.9.3.
  • spec_utils.ETO has been renamed to spec_utils.ET0 (with a
    zero).
  • Updating the pyinstaller requirement to >=4.10 to support
    the new universal2 wheel architecture offered by
    scipy>=1.8.0.
  • Now removing leading / trailing whitespaces from table input
    values as well as columns in most InVEST models.
  • Fixing a small bug where drag-and-drop events in the Qt UI were
    not being handled correctly and were being ignored by the UI.
  • Expose taskgraph logging level for the cli with
    --taskgraph-log-level.
  • Fixed bug in validation of results_suffix so that special
    characters like path separators, etc, are not allowed.
  • Fixed a bug in validation where a warning about non-overlapping
    spatial layers was missing info about the offending bounding
    boxes.

• Annual Water Yield

  • Fixed a bug where the model would error when the
    watersheds/subwatersheds input was in geopackage format.

• Crop Production

  • Fixed a bug in both crop production models where the model would
    error if an observed yield raster had no nodata value.

• DelineateIt

  • Watersheds delineated with this tool will now always have a
    ws_id column containing integer watershed IDs for easier use
    within the routed InVEST models. Existing ws_id field values
    in the outlets vector will be overwritten if they are present.

• RouteDEM

  • Rename the arg calculate_downstream_distance to
    calculate_downslope_distance. This is meant to clarify that it
    applies to pixels that are not part of a stream.

• SDR

  • Fixed an issue with SDR where f.tif might not be recalculated
    if the file is modified or deleted after execution.
  • Fixed an issue in sed_deposition.tif and f.tif where pixel
    values could have very small, negative values for r_i and
    f_i. These values are now clamped to 0.
  • Added basic type-checking for the lucode column of the
    biophysical table. This avoids cryptic numpy errors later in
    runtime.

• Seasonal Water Yield

  • Added an output to the model representing total annual
    precipitation.
  • Fixed an issue with the documentation for ET0 and Precip
    directories, where a module-specific informational string was
    being overridden by a default value.
