 New features and enhancements

@@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ Bug fixes
 * Fixed the indexer bug in the ``xclim.indices.standardized_index_fit_params`` when multiple or non-array indexers are specified and fitted parameters are reloaded from netCDF. (:issue:`1842`, :pull:`1843`).
 * Addressed a bug found in ``wet_spell_*`` indicators that was contributing to erroneous results. A new generic spell length statistic function ``xclim.indices.generic.spell_length_statistics`` is now used in wet and dry spells indicators. (:issue:`1834`, :pull:`1838`).
 * Syntax for ``nan`` and ``inf`` was adapted to support ``numpy>=2.0.0``. (:pull:`1814`, :issue:`1785`).
+* Force type in `jitter` to work with new version of dask. (:pull:`1864`)
