OpenGrADS Bundle v2.0.a7.oga.1 Released!

Dear GrADS Users,

I have started uploading to sf.net sources and binaries for the
OpenGrADS Bundle based on COLA's *2.0.a7* release:

       https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/

Look under grads2/2.0.a7.oga.1

The OpenGrADS Bundle is a new way of packaging GrADS builds that
is somewhat inspired by my experience with the Win32
Superpacks. The idea is to have a single package that require
no (minimum?) configuration and that is easily relocatable (say to
a USB memory stick).  The structure of an OpenGrADS Bundle is
described here:

  http://opengrads.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_OpenGrADS_Bundle

Once you download the tarball take a look at the INSTALL
file. You can install it as a Bundle (highly recommended) or
simply install the binaries the same way you did in the past.

Note: The Windows build will be available soon, for now only Mac OS X,
Linux and shortly FreeBSD.

*Note for Mac OS X users: *Unless I hear from you, I am not intending to
post a PowerPC build. Let me know if you would need a PPC build of the
OpenGrADS Bundle.

See below for additional information on this releae.
*

   Cheers!

*
*
*                        GrADS Version 2.0.a7.oga.1*
*                        Released 27 September 2009*
*
*
*This version is based on COLA's 2.0.a7 release which includes a new*
*interface for the native HDF-5 format, options for templating on Julian Day
*
*and time axis, new funtion eloop, in addition to some bug fixes. See*
*the ChangeLog for details.*
*
*
*Several important OpenGrADS additions are available with this version:*
*
*
*- grads is now built with NetCDF v4.0.1beta3 which includes support*
*  for NetCDF-4/HDF-5 (similar to gradsnc4 in v1.9.0-rc1) and has*
*  built in OPeNDAP support.*
*
*
*- gradsdap is no longer provided as its functionality is now included *
*  in the single executable *grads*.*
*
*
*- this is an OpenGrADS Bundle release, a relocatable, minimum*
*  configuration package that has all that you need to run GrADS. See*
*  INSTALL for additonal information.*
*
*
*- we have introduced option -C to enable colorized text*
*
*
*- preview release of the OpenGrADS Extensions; the same extensions *
*  available in GrADS v1.9.0-rc1 are now available with GrADS v2.0.*
*
*
*  Caveat: as COLA is yet to publish the official API for User Defined*
*          functions in GrADS v2.0 we have adopted here an API that*
*          is based on our work vith v1.9.0-rc1. This is a very low-level*
*          API that is *not* endorsed by COLA. As such, it is *not*
advisable *
*          that users adopt this API to write their own extensions.*
*
*
*- These extensions are still being fully tested. Please report any problems
*
*  you encounter. Use them at your own risk.*
*        *
*- The following extensions are included: see below.*
