This changelog is for 0.6 to 0.7.3 - there were a few aborted releases
as we wrestled with the upgrade path.

This is our biggest release yet, with lots of contributions from both
@merydian and @GISAM. The biggest thing is a refactoring of the code
to be more testable and maintainable, which ideally keeps all the
user-facing changes the same. A big thanks to @merydian for driving
that. There should hopefully be no user facing changes with this, but
improved stability in the future.

Improvements in this release include smaller downloads from higher
compression in zstd and sorting data spatially (thanks @marklit for
the idea), getting the plugin ready for qt6 qgis, better logging, and
better persistence of checkbox state.

And between 0.7.0 and 0.7.3 we got a few small improvements including
a first small contribution from @danielsparing. Main improvements were
to fix the custom url's in #99 (haven't tested with signed url's yet,
but all custom urls were broken, so hopefully that fixed things),
which should also fix #101. Also dug through a regression with
geoparquet files without bbox columns not working (#89), and finally
also fixed a crash that I'd hit but never be quite sure of in #106.
And a fix so that geoparquet files with geometry columns not named
'geometry' should continue to work.
