The built docs look pretty good to me, so I think we can go ahead with matplotlib 2.0: http://xarray.pydata.org/en/fix-docs/plotting.html

@shoyer https://github.com/shoyer I've tested mpl on the fix-docs branch and they seem to build properly (see the dashboard https://readthedocs.org/projects/xray/builds/), but for some reason xarray's webpage is unreachable right now so I can't see how it looks like. It's getting late here in central europe so if you want to make the release later today go ahead, MPL2 can wait.

@rabernat the DataStore refactor will happen sometime soon I hope, but I will definitely coordinate with you!

Certainly, give it a try!

It is picky but it might be worth to pin mpl to v2 for nicer plots in the docs ;-) Am I allowed to try it out?

With the merge of #1222, I plan to issue the new release tonight or tomorrow morning (pending a successful doc build and a final check-over).

@ghisvail Oops, I forgot to upload the source distribution to pypi (now fixed).

The final release should be some time this week, up to you if you want to wait.

There is never an ideal time to make a release cut, but this has been dragging on for too long. I just sent out an email announcing a release candidate for v0.9.0: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/xarray/Yc6A45zXmwM

Unlimited dimensions will have to wait to the v0.9.1 release, but that release can follow pretty shortly given that the changes should be mostly backwards compatible.

What's our status here? I'd like to get the release (maybe a release candidate) out this week if possible.

It would be great if someone else could take a look at #1166 and #1179.

I also really want to merge #964 (the "apply" function) but the current API is a little too confusing. We could merge it without exposing it as public API for now and/or start building simplified versions (e.g., with an optional dim argument instead of signature).

I agree that it should be a top priority but I don't want to let it hold up 0.9 any longer, so I think we should release without it. apply does not change any APIs in a breaking way so we can even both put it in a minor release if desried (though obviously it is a big feature).
