📢 Announcements

  1. Congratulations to `@jamesp`_ who recently became an Iris core developer after joining the Iris development team at the Met Office. 🎉
  2. A special thanks goes to @akuhnregnier, @gcaria, `@jamesp`_ and @MHBalsmeier all of whom made their first contributions to Iris, which were gratefully received and included in this release. Keep up the awesome work! 🍻

✨ Features

  1. `@pelson`_ and `@trexfeathers`_ enhanced :meth:`iris.plot.plot` and :meth:`iris.quickplot.plot` to automatically place the cube on the x axis if the primary coordinate being plotted against is a vertical coordinate. E.g. iris.plot.plot(z_cube) will produce a z-vs-phenomenon plot, where before it would have produced a phenomenon-vs-z plot. (:pull:`3906`)

🐛 Bugs Fixed

  1. @gcaria fixed :meth:`~iris.cube.Cube.cell_measure_dims` to also accept the string name of a :class:`~iris.coords.CellMeasure`. (:pull:`3931`)
  2. @gcaria fixed :meth:`~iris.cube.Cube.ancillary_variable_dims` to also accept the string name of a :class:`~iris.coords.AncillaryVariable`. (:pull:`3931`)
