v1.4.0

Highlights

• Fully projection/spherical-aware spatial derivative calculations (e.g. vorticity, divergence)
• Added calculations for SWEAT index, Convective Condensation Level (CCL), and convective temperature
• ArrowPlot and RasterPlot added to the simplified plotting interface, as well as other enhancements to the simplified plotting interface
• Many more examples in docstrings and example gallery
• Improve integration with other libraries that use Pint for unit-handling
• Converted GINI support to work as a proper xarray backend
