Changelog

0.10.1 (2024-01-25)

• ISO3_GCAM: Removed extraneous “v” from version specifications in region codes

0.10.0 (2024-01-25)

• Added ISO3_GCAM categorization which contains regions used in the integrated assessment model GCAM.

0.9.2 (2023-06-22)

• ISO3: Add all parties to the UNFCCC as direct children of UNFCCC as first set of children. That way, it is easy to ergonomically get all parties to the UNFCCC without adding up Annex-I and Non-Annex-I parties manually.

0.9.1 (2023-06-15)

• Add AOSIS country group to ISO3 categorization.

0.9.0 (2023-06-14)

• Add ISO3 terminology for countries, areas, and country groups including UNFCCC signatories and Annex-I and Non-Annex-I groups and the evolution of the EU over time.

0.8.5 (2023-05-23)

• Re-release again.

0.8.4 (2023-05-23)

• Re-release to make sure py.typed is included in built package.

0.8.3 (2023-05-23)

• add py.typed file to announce this library is using type hints.

0.8.2 (2023-05-15)

• Remove pygments-csv-lexer dependency for docs building.

• Add function to find leaf children of a category, useful for re-calculating top-level categories from constituents.

0.8.1 (2023-04-26)

• regenerate data included in the package to benefit from latest fixes in data generation scripts.

0.8.0 (2023-04-26)

• Add updated CRF2013 terminologies for 2021, 2022, and 2023 submission rounds

• The unfccc DI API recently returns unspecified measure IDs. data_generation/CRFDI_class.py was fixed to ignore them.

• Add CRF2013 terminology for data submitted by AnnexI countries to the UNFCCC

• Drop support for Python 3.7 and 3.8, add support for Python 3.11

0.7.1 (2021-11-25)

• Change conversion metadata format to use comment chars and a YAML header.

0.7.0 (2021-11-25)

• Use Python files instead of pickle objects for caching

0.6.3 (2021-11-05)

• Export Category and HierarchicalCategory types.

• Add ConversionRule.is_restricted attribute to easily check if a rule is restricted to specific auxiliary categories.

0.6.2 (2021-11-05)

• Export Conversion and ConversionRule types.

0.6.1 (2021-11-04)

• Add emissions categorization from the Reduced Complexity Model Intercomparison Project (RCMIP). Thanks to Robert Gieseke for the contribution and Zeb Nicholls for input.

0.6.0 (2021-10-22)

• Automate changelog generation from snippets - avoids resolving merge conflicts manually

• Automate github releases.

• Add category “0” (National total) to IPCC1996 and IPCC2006 categorizations. While it is not in the official specification, it is widely used and adding it also enables automatically assigning a level to all other categories.

• Add categorization CRF1999 used within in the common reporting framework data.

• Refactor rendering of large categorizations using show_as_tree(), adding more clarity to alternative child sets. Add usage documentation for show_as_tree(). Thanks to Robert Gieseke for feedback.

• Fixes for IPCC2006 categorization (and IPCC2006_PRIMAP):

  • proper title for category 3.B.3.a “Grassland Remaining Grassland”

  • correct corresponding 1996 category for category 1.A.4.c.ii

• Fixes for IPCC1996 categorization:

  • category 4.B.10 has the correct title “Anaerobic Lagoons”

  • correct usage of units in the titles of categories 4.C.3.a and 4.C.3.b

• Add mechanism to describe conversions between categorizations.

• Add conversion between IPCC2006 and IPCC1996.
