+- Remove use of the deprecated ``kind`` argument in

+  tests (:pull:`5723`).  By `Spencer Clark <https://github.com/spencerkclark>`_.
 - Refactor `xarray.core.duck_array_ops` to no longer special-case dispatching to
   dask versions of functions when acting on dask arrays, instead relying numpy
   and dask's adherence to NEP-18 to dispatch automatically. (:pull:`5571`)
