Cassiopeia 1.2.0: GeoPackage and NetCDF join the source formats
Jure Lampe

What is new

  • GeoPackage and NetCDF. NetCDF files from Copernicus CAMS, CMEMS and ERA5 map the same way as GRIB.
  • CSV as exported: encoding detection, title rows and stacked headers, with no cleaning script.
  • Remote sources with API keys, environment variables and automatic retries.

Who benefits

teams bringing geodata, climate data or spreadsheet exports into an NGSI-LD broker.

Breaking changes

yes. Manifest paths, null handling and the --header flag changed. Read the release notes before you upgrade a running feed.

NoteS

GeoPackage ships in the Docker image and in source builds. The prebuilt binaries leave GeoPackage out.
