about=Lists the dataset repositories of any Hugging Face organisation or user and
    adds published geospatial files as QGIS layers, read in place over HTTP with
    /vsicurl -- no account, and no download for the formats that can be read that
    way. Rasters (GeoTIFF/COG, VRT, GRIB, JPEG2000 and friends) become raster
    layers; netCDF and HDF are fetched to a bounded cache first, because their
    drivers cannot read a remote path at all; vectors (GeoPackage,
    GeoJSON, FlatGeobuf, Shapefile, GeoParquet, KML/GML) become vector layers;
    zipped datasets are opened through /vsizip. Layer names come from the dataset
    card, and any warning section in that card is shown in the panel, because a
    published dataset's caveats matter as much as its pixels.

changelog=
    0.2.2 First stable release. No code change from 0.2.1: marked non-experimental so the repository has a public version to offer.
    0.2.1 Security fixes for the repository's Bandit scan. Only https URLs are opened, checked in one place rather than trusted, and three swallowed failures -- a failed HEAD, a skipped mosaic tile and a worker that would not stop -- are logged instead of hidden.
    0.2.0 First public release. Browse any Hugging Face owner's datasets and add rasters and vectors as QGIS layers, read in place over /vsicurl; netCDF and HDF fetched to a bounded cache because their drivers cannot read a remote path; zip archives expanded; the dataset card's warnings shown beside the files.
