[1.2.0] - 2021-12-13

Added

• New processes in proposal state
  • fit_curve
  • predict_curve
• ard_normalized_radar_backscatter and sar_backscatter: Added options parameter
• array_find: Added parameter reverse. #269
• load_result:

1.1.0

A lot of changes and new processes since v1.0.0, see the changelog below for details. We introduced a folder with proposals that are unstable and may break in the future but are worth experimenting with.

Note: Some changes are breaking changes, but none of the processes had been (widely) implemented yet.
