Support table on forward/backward compatibility of PyGMT with Python and GMT versions #748
Description
Description of the desired feature
To be nice to our users and clear up any potential source of confusion on PyGMT's compatibility with GMT, we should have a table or something indicating forward/backward compatibility. It's a bit hard to pick thing out from the changelog at https://www.pygmt.org/latest/changes.html. Something like so, inspired by https://github.com/holoviz/pyviz_comms#compatibility (correct me if I'm wrong):
| PyGMT | GMT | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1.0 | >= 6.0.0, < 6.1.0? | #363, requires GMT modern mode |
| 0.1.1 | >= 6.0.0, < 6.1.0? | |
| 0.2.0 | >= 6.1.1 | #577, new earth relief pixel registration default |
| 0.2.1 | >= 6.1.1 | |
| 0.3.0 | >= 6.1.1 ? | |
| 0.4.0 | >= 6.2.0 ? |
See thread at #729 (comment)_ for context. Probably should add a column for Python compatibility too, related to issue #690.
Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature? Discuss first on where to put this, maybe at https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt#documentation-for-other-versions?
