+## v1.0.3
+### 2024-3-29
+
+This version of HOSS handles the error in the crs_wkt attribute in ATL19 where the 
+north polar crs variable has a leading iquotation mark escaped by back slash in the 
+crs_wkt attribute. This causes errors when the projection is being interpreted from 
+the crs variable attributes.

 ## v1.0.2
