Dear All,
<div>Brian and I are pleased to announce a new release of GrADS, version <b>2.1.0</b>. We decided that this build is reliable enough to bypass the beta stage, and so we’ve given it a ‘stable’ version number. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>New features include support for GRIB2 Product Definition Templates 60 and 61 (ensemble reforecasts), and for a secondary undef attribute name for NetCDF and HDF4 data types. There are also two new commands: ‘pdefwrite’ and ‘set misswarn’. Bug fixes include
station data handling in the const() and coll2grd() functions, the infinite loop in gsfpath(), a tweak to the time metadata in the output from sdfwrite, and support for transparent colors in KML output. </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 32-bit and 64-bit linux plus Mac OS X (10.9). The full text from the ChangeLog is copied below.</div>

Features:
* New command pdefwrite writes out internally calculated interpolation weights
* Added support for GRIB2 PDTs 60 and 61 (Ensemble Reforecasts)
* Added support for a second undef attribute name for netcdf/hdf4 formats
sdfopen will look for "missing_value" (primary) and "_FillValue" (secondary)
works with xdfopen-style and full descriptor files
* Previously undocumented command 'set misswarn' -- enables a warning message
with missing file names for templated data sets.
Bug Fixes:
* Fixed undef handling for BUFR station data
* Fixed undef handling for station data when using -u and -a with const()
* Closed infinite loop when parsing arguments to script function gsfpath()
* Added support for transparent colors in KML output
Misc:
* Changed the logo to "GrADS/COLA"
* Output from sdfwrite command will use 'months since' or 'minutes since'
in time axis metadata depending on what is used in the original data file
* coll2gr() now supports the -u option with a vertical coordinate of height
