- obspy.ah
* New submodule for reading the AH (Ad Hoc) waveform format

- obspy.core:
* Preview waveform plot improved: interactive updating of ticks and
ticklabels, correct ticklabels for sub-minute zoom level (#657)
* fixed a problem with UTCDateTime with timestamps of far future
dates (larger than 2038, often seen in StationXML end dates,
see #805)
* Support for basic custom namespace tags in QuakeML I/O (see #454)
* `interpolate()` method for Stream/Trace objects.
* Dictionary values added to an AttribDict will now be converted to an

* Renamed 'type' argument to 'method' in the Trace.integrate() method.
Additionally, several broken alternate methods have been removed.
* new plugins for NonLinLoc formats for readEvents() and
Catalog/Event.write() (see obspy.nlloc and #900)
* The wrap_long_string utility function is deprecated. Users may use the
textwrap module which provides similar functionality.
* new plugin for CNV event format (used by VELEST) for
Catalog/Event.write() (see obspy.cnv and #905)
* better customizable control during merging traces with sub-sample shift of
sampling points (see #980)
- obspy.cnv:
* new plugin to write CNV event files (used by VELEST) from
Catalog/Event objects. (see #905)
- obspy.css:

- obspy.fdsn:
* WADL files are cached per Python process.

station service.
- obspy.imaging:
* Maintain beach ball aspect ratio through optional axes argument (see
#734)
* Refactored Catalog.plot() into helper routine
obspy.imaging.maps.plot_basemap() (see #753).
* The projections of Catalog.plot() have been modified slightly to provide
equal-area projections:
* The `"cyl"` projection is now named `"global"`. It is now the Mollweide
projection.
* The '"local"` projection now uses the Albers Equal Area projection.
- obspy.kinemetrics
* New submodule for reading the Kinemetrics EVT waveform format
- obspy.mseed:
* Support for reading and writing all encodings supported by libmseed.
* proper error reporting while reading
* `details=True` when reading will now write to
`Trace.stats.mseed.blkt1001.timing_quality` instead of
`Trace.stats.mseed.timing_quality`.
* The timing quality will now also be written to a file if it is set.
* Non-existing values when reading with `details=True` will now be set to
`False` instead of `-1`.
* New utility function `obspy.mseed.util.set_flags_in_fixed_header()`
giving the ability to overwrite flags in the fixed header of existing
MiniSEED files.
* The sequence number of the first record of each Trace can now be
specified when writing MiniSEED files.
* `obspy-mseed-recordanalyzer`:
- Bugfix: when specifying an out-of-bounds record number, information
about the last record in the file was displayed (see #957). Now a
proper error message is shown and the command line script exits
with non-zero exit code.
- Faster reading of a single record header
- Added option "-a" to print information of all records
* upgrade to libmseed 2.15
- obspy.ndk:
* New submodule able to read NDK files from the Global CMT project.
- obspy.neries:
* The whole module is deprecated and will be removed with the next major
release. To access EMSC event data please use the obspy.fdsn client
(use `Client(base_url='NERIES', ...)`), for access to ORFEUS waveform
data please use the obspy.fdsn client (use
`Client(base_url='ORFEUS', ...)`) and for travel times please use
obspy.taup.
- obspy.nlloc:
* new plugins to write NonLinLoc Phase observations files from
Catalog/Event objects and to read NonLinLoc Hypocenter-Phase file into
Catalog/Event objects. (see #900)
- obspy.pdas:
* read support for PDAS waveform files
- obspy.sac:
* New `byteorder` option for writing sac files to disk.
* Can now read/write from/to file-like objects like io.BytesIO and open
files.

correctly (see #807)
* New submodule `easyseedlink` providing an easier way to create
SeedLink clients
* New `Client` class providing a basic seedlink client for individual
requests of finite time windows (i.e. non-continuous programs)
