All,<div><br clear="all"> As I said in my previous message, in retiring GrADS v1.x development we realize that are still a number of users out there requiring GrADS v1.x in their day-to-day work. This is because of a lacking feature in GrADS v2.0 (the list of missing features is shrinking fast), or because of memory footprint/performance issues. As long as there is interest in the community (and volunteers!) we will try to maintain builds of v1.x. Only critical bug fixes and rebuilds to keep up with new OS releases will be posted. New development will concentrate on GrADS v2.0.</div>
<div><br></div><div><div> A maintenance version of GrADS v1.10.r2.oga has been released on <a href="http://sf.net">sf.net</a>:</div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=182392&release_id=680848">http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=161773&package_id=182392&release_id=680848</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div> This version includes bug fixes on top of GrADS v1.9.0-rc1 (which in turn had bugfixes on top of 1.9beta4), and some features that had been contributed by Gary Love earlier on but never made into COLA's v1.9 releases. For this reason, we have bumped the version number from 1.9 to 1.10. For ease of maintenance, we have adopted the same build mechanism and extension API of v2.0, including the OpenGrADS Bundle concept. See the ChangeLog for a detailed description of what is included in this version. At this point v1.10 includes the same extensions as v2.0, but new extensions may not be back ported to v1.x. It is strongly recommended that you plan your migration to GrADS v2.0 at your earliest convenience.</div>
<div> </div><div> Again, current OpenGrADS development is focused on GrADS v2.0. Although no new development is expected to take place in the legacy GrADS v1.x branch, minor bug fixes and updates will be issued as long as there are resources and interest by the community. </div>
