Announcements

• xscen now has a security disclosure policy. (PR/353).
• Various frequency-related changes to match the new pandas naming conventions. (PR/351).

Internal changes

• Added tests for diagnostics. (PR/352).
• Added a SECURITY.md file to the repository and the documentation. (PR/353).
• Added tox modifier for testing builds against the main development branch of xclim. (PR/351, PR/355).

Breaking changes

• xscen now requires pandas >= 2.2 and xclim >= 0.48.2. (PR/351).
• Functions that output a dict with keys as xrfreq (such as extract_dataset, compute_indicators) will now return the new nomenclature (e.g. "YS-JAN" instead of "AS-JAN"). (PR/351).
• Going from xrfreq to frequencies or timedeltas will still work, but the opposite (frequency --> xrfreq/timedelta) will now only result in the new pandas nomenclature. (PR/351).
