We strongly recommend you test that your programs, scripts and suites work with the new versions of any software or library affected before the change happens.

...

This installation will, by default, include the ecCodes binary library version 2.38.0 bundled with the Python bindings corresponding to the same version of ecCodes defined below. If you wish to revert to the previous behaviour, where the library used was selected from the user's environment (i.e. by loading the corresponding ecmwf-toolbox module), set the following environment variable before you import eccodes:

export ECCODES_PYTHON_USE_FINDLIBS=1

See ecCodes has a new binary Python wheel for more information.

...

The new versions of the software packages can be selected by using the nov24 tag in modules. For example:

module load ecmwf-toolbox/nov24

module load python3/nov24

How to revert to the old versions in case of problems AFTER the update

Users that experience problems with the new default software packages after the update will be able to revert to the old default versions. These can be selected with the commands:

module load ecmwf-toolbox/old

module load python3/old


Warning

Please let ECMWF know if you need to revert to the old version of any of the packages after the update of the defaults has taken place. 

...

The new version of the ECMWF Toolbox (ecmwf-toolbox module) is 2024.09.0.0, replacing 2024.04.0.0. This table summarises the changes in the version of the different packages within the bundle:
