[gradsusr] * * * New Release: GrADS 2.1.a3 * * *

[Jennifer Adams]

Dear All,
Once again, Don Hooper has created the i686 linux build of 2.1.a3; I have updated the GrADS downloads web page. The windows version is only provided by opengrads, and Arlindo will have to comment on when he will have a chance to make his builds.

This is primarily a bug fix release, although there are some new features in file templating (time templates supported within CHSUB strings) and we are now supporting GRIB2 Product Definition Templates 6 and 10, for percentiles. The problems with metabuffer handling and font file initialization were causing GrADS to steadily increase its memory use … if you are using version 2.1, I would advise you to upgrade.
