       in `earthaccess.store._get_granules`.
     * Pass `threads` arg to `_open_urls_https` in
       `earthaccess.store._open_urls`, replacing the hard-coded value of 8.

+    * `earthaccess.download` now returns fully qualified local file paths.
+* New Features:
+    * Earthaccess will now automatically search for Earthdata authentication. ``earthaccess.login()`` 
+      still works as before, but is no longer required if you have a ``~/.netrc`` file for have set 
+      ``EARTHDATA_USERNAME`` and ``EARTHDATA_PASSWORD`` environment variables.
