v0.9.2 (August 19, 2022)

Enhancements

albedo can now be provided as a column in the weather DataFrame input to :py:meth:`pvlib.modelchain.ModelChain.run_model`. (:issue:`1387`, :pull:`1478`)
albedo is now available as an input to :py:meth:`pvlib.pvsystem.PVSystem.get_irradiance` and :py:meth:`pvlib.pvsystem.Array.get_irradiance`. (:pull:`1478`)
:py:func:`pvlib.iotools.read_surfrad` now also accepts remote files with https links in addition to files on the SURFRAD FTP server. (:pull:`1459`)
Add :py:func:`pvlib.tracking.calc_surface_orientation` for calculating single-axis tracker surface_tilt and surface_azimuth from rotation angles. (:issue:`1471`, :pull:`1480`)
Improve error message about uneven time intervals for :py:func:`~pvlib.clearsky.detect_clearsky` and :py:func:`~pvlib.temperature.prilliman`. (:issue:`1476`, :pull:`1490`)
Add support for PEP517 & PEP518 with setuptools build backend. (:pull:`1495`)

:py:func:`pvlib.irradiance.get_total_irradiance` and :py:func:`pvlib.solarposition.spa_python` now raise an error instead of silently ignoring unknown parameters. (:pull:`1437`)
Fix a bug in :py:func:`pvlib.solarposition.sun_rise_set_transit_ephem` where passing localized timezones with large UTC offsets could return rise/set/transit times for the wrong day in recent versions of ephem. (:issue:`1449`, :pull:`1448`)
:py:func:`pvlib.iotools.read_tmy3` is now able to accept midnight timestamps as either 24:00 (which is the standard) as well as 00:00. Previously 00:00 timestamps would incorrectly be moved one day forward. (:pull:`1494`)
:py:func:`!pvlib.iotools.get_psm3` now raises a deprecation warning if the leap_day parameter is not specified in a single-year request. Starting in pvlib 0.11.0 leap_day will default to True instead of False. (:issue:`1481`, :pull:`1511`)

Switched CI testing provider from Azure to GitHub Actions. (:pull:`1306`)
Speed up CI setup using micromamba instead of conda. (:pull:`1493`)
Drop python 3.6 (reached end of life Dec 2021) and add 3.10 to test matrix. (:pull:`1507`)

Added a reference to :py:func:`pvlib.inverter.sandia_multi`. (:pull:`1479`)
Add gallery example of simulating rearside irradiance for a fixed-tilt array with pvfactors. (:pull:`1470`)
Updated reference links to CAMS Radiation. (:issue:`1515`, :pull:`1529`)

Updated version of numba in asv.conf from 0.36.1 to 0.40.0 to solve numba/numpy conflict. (:issue:`1439`, :pull:`1440`)
Added benchmarks for the pvlib.scaling module. (:pull:`1445`)
Added a basic CI asv check. (:issue:`1446`, :pull:`1454`)

Python 3.7 or greater. (:pull:`1507`)
Minimum pandas version increased to v0.25.0, released July 18, 2019. (:pull:`1448`)
