We can announce that this weeks we released the June versions of the standard ECMWF software packages. This month's release sees with Metview 5.1 and Magics 3.1 the use of ecCodes for BUFR decoding rather the than BUFRDC. This eliminates for Magics the dependency on Emoslib. Magics is also now independent of Perl and only requires Python for generating codes. With the change to ecCodes for BUFR decoding, the GRIB and BUFR examiners in Metview were rewritten. There are also performance improvements in ecCodes.
Metview added the set of predefined palettes available in Magics (see the example below). For more information on these, please see Predefined palettes in Magics for the list of available palettes.
