* Added *racking_model*, *module_type*, and *temperature_model_parameters* to
PVSystem, LocalizedPVSystem, SingleAxisTracker, and
LocalizedSingleAxisTracker repr methods. (:issue:`1027`)
* Added :py:func:`~pvlib.tracking.calc_axis_tilt` to calculate the
tracker axes tilt and :py:func:`~pvlib.tracking.calc_cross_axis_tilt` to
calculate the cross-axis tilt, which is the angle, relative to horizontal, of
the line formed by the intersection between the slope containing the tracker
axes and a plane perpendicular to the tracker axes. (:pull:`823`)
* Added ``cross_axis_tilt`` argument to :py:func:`~pvlib.tracking.singleaxis`
and :py:func:`~pvlib.tracking.SingleAxisTracker` which defaults to zero. Use
:py:func:`~pvlib.tracking.calc_cross_axis_tilt` to calculate the cross-axis
tilt angle if necessary. (:pull:`823`)
* Added ability for :py:func:`pvlib.soiling.hsu` to accept arbitrary time intervals. (:pull:`980`)

Bug fixes
~~~~~~~~~
* Fixed unit and default value errors in :py:func:`pvlib.soiling.hsu`. (:pull:`977`, :pull:`980`)
* Handle NUL characters and fix version column dtype in
:py:func:`~pvlib.iotools.crn.read_crn`. (:issue:`1025`)
* Fix low sun angle tracker rotation calculation. (:issue:`824`)
