https://github.com/pydata/xarray/releases/tag/v2023.09.0,122575596,5821660,RE_kwDOAMm_X84HTlrs,v2023.09.0,main,v2023.09.0,0,0,2023-09-26T08:12:44Z,2023-09-26T09:21:07Z,"This release continues work on the new :py:class:`xarray.Coordinates` object, allows to provide `preferred_chunks` when
reading from netcdf files, enables :py:func:`xarray.apply_ufunc` to handle missing core dimensions and fixes several bugs.
