> This OpenGrADS version is based on COLA's 2.0.a8 release which has

>
> COLA's GrADS version 2.0.a8 is now linked with netCDF-4, which
> supports compressed netCDF files and also has a new OPeNDAP interface
> for gridded data sets. (This feature had already been included in all
> OpenGrADS releases since 2.0.a2.) The netCDF-4 support by COLA
> includes new commands (q cache, q cachesf, set cachesf, set
> chunksize), new options to 'set sdfwrite' (-nc3/-nc4, -chunk, -zip,
> -flt/-dbl), and a new descriptor file entry: CACHESIZE. Please begin
> by reading the User's Guide page entitled "Reading and Writing
> Compressed Data Sets" at
>
> http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/compression.html.
>
> A side benefit to the netCDF-4 development was that it led to an
> improvement in the HDF5 interface, which is now significantly faster
> than in the previous release.
>
> GrADS version 2.0.a8 also supports reading and drawing shapefiles, and
> the OpenGrADS SHAPE extension is being discontinued. The shapefile
> interface is adapted from an original design by Graziano Giuliani, the
> same code used for developing the OpenGrADS SHAPE extension. There are
> several new commands: 'draw shp', 'q shp', 'q dbf', and 'set shpopts',
> and a User's Guide page entitled "Drawing and Querying the Contents of
> a Shapefile" at http://iges.org/grads/gadoc/shapefiles.html .
>
> COLA's work with extremely high resolution data sets led to a bunch of
> changes to the GRIB interface. We added support for GRIB1 and GRIB2
> files that are greater than 2Gb. This is handled with a "-big" option
> to gribmap. A simple change to the user interface, but a fairly
> significant change to code "under the hood." The gribmap utility now
> also supports the "-b" option for GRIB2 data sets, a option that is
> required for the new CFS Reanalysis. Both gribmap and wgrib have been
> modified to support ECMWF grib files that have record lengths bigger
> than 8MB.
>
> There is a new graphics output option that is useful for the
> interactive display of high-resolution data: 'set gxout imap'. This
> quickly draws shaded grid boxes just like 'gxout grfill', but the
> metafile is not updated so printim and print will not work. But it
> saves a lot of time when browsing through data and 'fishing' for
> something interesting to look at.

> Two final miscellaneous items in the new release:
> * Added template substitution strings %t4, %t5, %t6, %tm4, %tm5, %tm6
