Changelog

v2.4.0

Highlights

• ESMValTool is moving from Conda to Mamba as the preferred installation method. This will speed up the installation and comes with some improvements behind the scenes. Read more about it at Move to Mamba and in the installation guide.

Please also note the highlights from the corresponding ESMValCore release here. Thanks to that ESMValTool has gained the following features:

• Download any missing data that is available on the ESGF automatically.

• Resume previous runs, reusing expensive pre-processing results.
