ARIA-tools v1.3

Release Features

• De-duplication support now integrated. The workflow has been streamlined to support successive runs involving new products and layers not extracted from previous runs, without unnecessarily regenerating existing outputs. Note that currently GUNWs from previous runs are to not be deleted or be moved, we will work to make this logic more flexible in a future release.
• Progress bars added for product download, and for each batch of extracted layers.
• For DEM and mask access, environment updated to reflect latest, stable tile_mate release.

ARIA-tools v1.2.1

Release Features

• By default in ariaTSsetup do not extract and interpolate perpendicular baseline layers to save time. To extract these layers, the user would now have to explicitly pass it as an argument (i.e. -l perpendicularBaseline)

ARIA-tools v1.2

Release Features

• Update dependencies to reflect stable version of dem_stitcher
• Pass mask (if specified) to solid Earth tide and troposphere layers
• Dummy-proof code to better handle tropo extraction, which previously silently errored out if a valid model was not specified
• If a DEM is required for a specified input and a user does not specify a valid input, error out early instead of deep into the process
