xCDAT/xcdat: v0.5.0

v0.5.0 (27 March 2023)

This long-awaited minor release includes feature updates to support an optional user-specified climatology reference period when calculating climatologies and departures, support for opening datasets using the directory key of the legacy CDAT Climate Data Markup Language (CDML) format (an XML dialect), and improved support for using custom time coordinates in temporal APIs.

This release also includes a bug fix for singleton coordinates breaking the swap_lon_axis() function. Additionally, Jupyter Notebooks for presentations and demos have been added to the documentation.
