Contributions

New Features/Improvements

[ECC-407] - Add option to bufr_count/grib_count to count valid messages
[ECC-341] - implement area extraction in bufr_filter for uncompressed data
[ECC-629] - grib_ls and grib_count to read standard input instead of a filename
[ECC-394] - bufr_dump -E option: include keys whose values are MISSING
[ECC-607] - BUFR decode performance: remove redundant calls to reset_deeper_qualifiers
[ECC-608] - bufr_descriptor struct: reference type should be 'long' (not 'double')
[ECC-611] - BUFR Encoding: channelNumber reset to 0
[ECC-602] - Add parameters for Standardised Precipitation index (seasonal fc)
[ECC-612] - New parameters for Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS)
[ECC-570] - Wave forecast verification: add support for LC-WFV
[ECC-562] - EFAS: Create GRIB2 local definition for EFAS data
[ECC-563] - EFAS: Add two parameters for total precipitation in the last 6 and 24 hrs
[ECC-641] - new BUFR key for Continuous Data Assimilation

Bug Fixes

[ECC-359] - CRASH: set 'pack' to 1 on new bufr handle
[ECC-597] - "grib_dump -D" returns "wrong size" errors on grid_second_order
[ECC-603] - Decoding of ERS (BUFR edition 2) data
[ECC-610] - isOctahedral does not work for non-global gaussian grids with specific areas
[ECC-614] - BUFR: problem with datetime extraction
[ECC-627] - grib_to_netcdf: fails with less user-friendly error message on non-regular grid
[ECC-634] - bufr_dump -p: does not list string keys with MISSING value
[ECC-635] - bufr_dump (JSON): should show missing value of string key as 'null'
[ECC-609] - ecCodes requires python 2.7 to run all the tests but the minimum required version is 2.6
[ECC-615] - ECMWF Installation: build with OpenJPEG v2.3 on all platforms
[ECC-617] - BUFR: add WMO version 2 tables from BUFRDC to ecCodes
[ECC-618] - BUFR: add WMO version=2 local version=1 tables from BUFRDC to ecCodes
[ECC-624] - centre CMCC for mars
[ECC-626] - BUFR local tables for processing MWHS and IRAS of FY-3 VASS products
[ECC-628] - BUFR local sequence for EUMETSAT AMSR-2 data
[ECC-631] - Assign centre abbreviation for 204 (NIWA)

New Features/Improvements

[ECC-567] - codes_split_file tool
A new tool has been added. It splits an input file (GRIB, BUFR etc) into chunks of roughly the same size. The output files are named input_01, input_02 etc. This is much faster than grib_copy/bufr_copy.

[ECC-592] - Update BUFR tables with the latest WMO version 29
Note: Some keys have been renamed as a result of this change:

New name (from version 29)	Old name
`verticalSoundingProductQualifier`	`tovsOrAtovsProductQualifier`
`bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient1`	`bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient1ForAtovs`
`bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient2`	`bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient2ForAtovs`

[ECC-584] - Update GRIB2 definitions with the latest WMO V20.0.0 code tables/templates
[ECC-549] - Create MARS stream for GRIB EFAS data
[ECC-555] - Add verificationYear, monthlyVerificationYear, verificationMonth, monthlyVerificationMonth for monthly streams
[ECC-477] - Redundant error message changing packing from CCSDS to grid_simple
[ECC-547] - Add WMO definition to 2 wave parameters and rename them
[ECC-571] - DWD: corrections to edzw local definitions (newer)
[ECC-574] - Update MARS stream descriptions for esmm and ehmm
[ECC-575] - Add new GRIB fields for lightning
[ECC-577] - Add localYear, localMonth, localDay, localHour, localMinute and localSecond to bufr_dump
[ECC-578] - Long names of GRIB parameters 210007-210010 (aermr07-10) are incorrect
[ECC-580] - Change of parameter name and units: 210064 and 210065
[ECC-581] - Tables 172 and 173: rename parameters and assign shortnames
[ECC-583] - Two new parameters: Water Vapour Flux and Water Vapour Flux Index
[ECC-585] - Add parameter for 'Fraction of snow cover' with units 'Proportion'
