SciPy-1.6 version breaks WXRotation

[vhirtham]

The new SciPy release is not compatible with our WXRotations object. Some interfaces changed and some functions seem to be removed or renamed.

I think this has already been addressed upstream, but is not yet released scipy/scipy@1d4e9df

[marscher]

Upstream issue (scipy) is fixed, now we have to way for a release :)

[vhirtham]

@marscher They released version 2.7.3 recently that includes the fix

[marscher]

asdf-format/asdf#916 (comment) and re-opened the issue

we will do a patch release to unpin scipy in the requirements after their next release 🚀

[CagtayFabry]

it appears scipy has assigned the fix to their 1.7.0 milestone which could take some time to release

Should we ask to include this into 1.6.2 @marscher ? IIRC there are no breaking changes introduced with this fix right?

No it does not brake any previous assumptions, so I can try asking for it. Thanks for looking into it.
