<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;">Dear All, <div>I have posted a new release of GrADS, version 2.1.a3. 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. </div><div><br></div><div>The GrADS downloads web page (<a href="http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html"><font color="#001fdf" style="color: rgb(0, 31, 223);"><u>http://iges.org/grads/downloads.html</u></font></a>) has been updated with links to the source code and pre-compiled binaries for 64-bit linux and Mac OS X.
