>> GrADS Version 2.0.a8
>> Released 10 July 2010
>>
>> This OpenGrADS version is based on COLA's 2.0.a8 release which has
>> many new features, including several that were required to support
>> COLA's work with extremely high resolution data sets.
>>
>> 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
>> * New command 'q contours' returns contour colors and levels
>>
>> This OpenGrADS release has improvements in the LATS interface and in
>> several of Mike Fiorino's extensions. See the included
>> "Documentation.html" for an in-depth description of these new
>> extensions.
>>
>> Several other important OpenGrADS additions are available with this
>> version:
>>
>> - grads is now built with NetCDF v4.1.1 which includes support
>> for NetCDF-4/HDF-5 (similar to gradsnc4 in v1.9.0-rc1) and has
>> built in OPeNDAP support.
>>
>> - 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
