 This version of HOSS updates fixes invalid output extents in cases where the
 requested bounding area (bbox, shape) extends beyond valid locations for the native
 projection of the data. E.g., EASE-GRID-2 North Polar (LAEA) projection becomes INF
 at latitude -90°.
 
-## v1.1.8

 This version of HOSS updates the hoss configuration file to include
 EASE_column_index and EASE_row_index as ancillary variables for the SPL2SMAP_S
 collection.
 
-## v1.1.6

+## [v1.1.6] - 2025-02-24
 
 This version of HOSS adds support for multiple coordinate variables that
 are in the same group for cases where coordinates are used in place of
 dimensions. This also supports exclusive requests of coordinate
 datasets that do not have coordinate attributes or dimensions.

 This version of HOSS adds support for 3D variables which
 do not have the nominal order. This would provide support
 for the 3D variables in SMAP - SPL3SMP with dimension order
 information provided in the configurations file.

 This version of HOSS supports configuration updates to hoss_config.json to
 add dimension configurations for 3D variables. Functions were updated to provide the
 ability to spatial subset 3D variables for products like SMAP L3 which did
 not have dimension arrays.
