I don’t know what Arlindo’s plans are for a windows version, but this morning I added a new build for SuSE and Hoop's i686 builds.

> Brian Doty and I are pleased to report that GrADS version 2.2.1 is ready for public release. The GrADS download page<http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/downloads.php> has links to the source code and pre-compiled binary distributions. Along with some critical bug fixes, this build has an exciting new feature: a C-language Python extension for GrADS, called GradsPy<http://cola.gmu.edu/grads/gadoc/python.html>. It is also worth noting that this release marks GrADS's 30th year!

> The use of dynamically loaded plug-ins combined with the need to compile GrADS as a shared library for Python has necessitated a configuration change: from now on we will be linking dynamically to the dependent libraries that GrADS relies on to enable all of its wonderful features. This move away from static linking means that the dependent libraries are not packaged into the binary executables, but are instead loaded at runtime, which means they will have to be present on your local server where you are running GrADS. I am posting tarballs containing my builds of all the supplemental libraries for various operating systems in ftp://cola.gmu.edu/grads/Supplibs/2.2/builds/ in case you need to copy some of them onto your system. You may need to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH to help GrADS find the libs it needs.

> Dear All,
> The time has come to announce some changes at COLA that will affect all of us: the funding that supports GrADS has come to an end. Brian Doty will be retiring at the end of the summer, and I will be moving to NASA/GSFC to work in the Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC). Both of us will continue to be active GrADS users, and our plan is to move the source code to GitHub where it will become a more traditional open source project. Our development and support of GrADS going forward will be a volunteer effort, but I sincerely hope you will not interpret this news as a reason to stop using GrADS. We feel that our recent changes to GrADS make it a flexible and extendable tool with a stable core and the necessary hooks for further customization by ambitious users. COLA will continue to host this forum, and I will remain as the moderator and frequent contributor. I promise to do what I can to ensure that GrADS remains relevant, useful, and fast.
