<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi, Everyone – <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">GrADS version 2.2.2 has the patch for this bug along with some other useful and vital updates to the supplibs and the Python interface. I am sincerely grateful for all the workarounds that many of you have
shared while I’ve been working to test the new version and prepare the new release during the down time of the holiday period. At this point, I am satisfied with the code, which you can grab from my dev branch at
<a href="https://github.com/j-m-adams/GrADS/tree/dev">https://github.com/j-m-adams/GrADS/tree/dev</a>. If you try out the dev code and find any issues, please let me know ASAP.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My plan is to move it to the master branch, tag it, and post a source code tarball to COLA’s servers tomorrow (when my brain is a little fresher than it is now). I am rushing the release process a bit because
of the urgent nature of this bug. I will do my best to update the online documentation as quickly as possible on the heels of the code release. I am not sure what to do about pre-compiled binaries … I recall that my builds of version 2.2.1 were not perfectly
portable. If you can build from source, please be prepared for these Supplib changes:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I have had a lot of success using the anaconda python environment as a substitute for the $SUPPLIBS. Your mileage may vary, and not all the libs that GrADS uses are available as conda packages, but it works
well for the big ones. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
