Detection of linear and wrapping axes for netcdf files opened with sdfopen</div><div>1. GRIB2 grids that have a bitmap were being drawn upside down</div><div>2. Fixed display for gxout=model and gxout=grid</div><div>3. Fixed handling of templated netcdf data sets opened with xdfopen</div><div>4. Fixed detection of unlimited axis in hdf files opened with sdfopen</div><div>5. Fixed I/O of PDEF files</div><div>6. Fix to gribmap when creating index files >250mb </div><div>7. Added some debug statements for detection of errors in calls to seekgb() in the grib2c library. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>These bugs were causing catastrophic errors (especially #6) and so it seemed worthwhile to put out a new release. I have yet to make any changes to the build system -- I know it's hard to build from source, and I hope to make it easier, but right now fixing catastrophic bugs in the GrADS core is a higher priority for me. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>To take advantage of the debug statements (#7 above), you must change the value of debug in line 75 of gaio.c: </div><div><div> static gaint debug=1;</div><div>and then build from source. The binary distributions have debug set to 0. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I will work on getting out some more binaries for: Mac PowerPC, SunOS, and RHEL4 x86_64. Sorry, we don't have any 32-bit linux boxes at COLA anymore. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">Please post comments and questions and bug reports here, no matter how technical they are.
