A more complete Python 3 deployment has been made, with all major ECMWF packages supporting it: Magics, Metview, ecFlow and ecCodes (in beta). We encourage all Python users to start migrating their programs to Python 3, as the official support for Python 2 will cease at the end of 2019. Please have a look at the Migration to Python 3 documentation page for more details on how to do this migration.
Metview new features
The new Metview 5.5 features a new set of thermodynamic functions and lots of new functionality for the Geopoints format. It also uses the new interpolation package MIR by default, replacing the old EMOSLIB interpolation library.
See the Magics and Metview latest news for a more detailed list of changes.

Once a year we take the opportunity to update not only the software we develop at ECMWF, but also the core 3rd party packages and libraries in our software stack. Amongst the affected packages we can find popular tools and libraries like Python, R, cdo or netCDF 4. See below for the complete list.
Discontinuation of old PGI compilers
