Highlights

Consistently use the WMO definition of relative humidity across calculations
New calculations: wet bulb potential temperature, Corfidi MCS motion, DCAPE, and Galvez-Davidson Index
Improvements for using isentropic interpolation with xarray data not natively on pressure surfaces (like WRF output)
Support for specifying line stroke width in simplified plotting interface
Support for controlling more style options for map layers in simplified plotting interface
Support for rotated latitude longitude projection
Support for Python 3.12
Many bug fixes and clean ups
