We also have the deprecation of parameter mode to the parameters constantfill/gridfill/neighborfill/splinefill instead (since v0.15.0; removed in v0.19.0).

In PR #4193 Xingchen He was added to the AUTHORS.md file, but he was not added to the CITATION.cff file yet.

Following our authorship policy, we will add @Chuan1937 as an author of the Zenodo archive unless @Chuan1937 says no.

From reading https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/blob/v0.17.0/AUTHORSHIP.md#authorship-on-zenodo-archives-of-releases, it sounds like if we add someone to Zenodo, they should be on the CITATION.cff too?

I've added @Chuan1937 to CITATION.cff in 4429b61. Need to remember to update the author list when releasing on Zenodo.

Need to update the links to the external resources "PyGMT HOWTO" by Takuto Maeda, please see https://www.pygmt.org/dev/external_resources.html.
Edit:
Made PR #4340 to fix this. Should check why this was not catched by our weekly running link checker.
