updated:

python 3.9 - python 3.8 will still work, but python 3.9 is now the default version for installing climada (#614)
contextily >=1.0 (no longer restricted to <1.2 as contextily.sources has been replaced in #517)
cartopy >=0.20.0,<0.20.3 (>=0.20.3 has an issue with geographic crs in plots)
matplotlib >=3.2,<3.6 (3.6 depends on cartopy 0.21)

climada.hazard.Hazard.from_xarray_raster(_file) class methods for reading Hazard objects from an xarray.Dataset, or from a file that can be read by xarray. #507, #589, #652.
climada.engine.impact.Impact objects have new methods from_hdf5 and write_hdf5 for reading their data from, and writing it to, H5 files #606
climada.engine.impact.Impact objects has a new class method concat for concatenation of impacts based on the same exposures #529.
climada.engine.impact_calc: this module was separated from climada.engine.impact and contains the code that dealing with impact calculation while the latter focuses on impact data #560.
The classes Hazard, Impact and ImpactFreqCurve have a novel attribute frequency_unit. Before it was implicitly set to annual, now it can be specified and accordingly displayed in plots. #532.
CONTRIBUTING.md #518.
Changelog based on the CLIMADA release overview and https://keepachangelog.com template #626.

The Impact calculation underwent a major refactoring. Now the suggested way to run an impact calculation is by climada.engine.impact_calc.ImpactCalc.impact(). #436, #527.
Addition of uncertainty helper methods variables: list of hazard, list of impact function sets, and hazard fraction. This allows to pre-compute hazards or impact function sets from different sources from which one can then sample uniformly. #513
Full initialization of most Climada objects is now possible (and suggested!) in one step, by simply calling the constructor with all arguments required for coherently filling the object with data: #560, #553, #550, #564, #563, #565, #573, #569, #570, #574, #559, #571, #549, #567, #568, #562.
It is possible now to set the fraction of a Hazard object to None which will have the same effect as if it were 1 everywhere. This saves a lot of memory and calculation time, #541.
The online documentation has been completely overhauled: #597, #600, #609, #620, #615, #617, #622, #656.
Updated installation instructions #644

several antimeridian issues: #524, #551, #613.
bug in climada.hazard.Centroids.set_on_land() when coordinates go around the globe: #542, #543.
bug in climada.util.coordinates.get_country_code() when all coordinates are on sea.
suppress pointless warnings in plotting functions, #520.
test coverage improved: #583, #594, #608, #616, #637.
deprecated features removoed: #517, #535, #566,

climada.enginge.impact.Impact.calc() and climada.enginge.impact.Impact.calc_impact_yearset() #436.
