The names of the files in the definitions/mars directory have also changed. Previously they had the prefix "grib1" but this was misleading as they pertain to all editions. So the new files have the prefix "grib" e.g.

   definitions/mars/grib.oper.fc.def

The "include" statements now require the relative path from the top-level of the definitions directory so instead of

   include "template.4.statistical.def"

We now have

   include "grib2/template.4.statistical.def"
