The new versions of the software packages can be selected by using the may21 tag in modules. For example:

module swap metview/may21
module load Magics/may21
module swap eccodes/may21
module swap python3/may21

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 swap metview/old
module load Magics/old
module swap eccodes/old
module swap 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. 

...

This table summarises the changes in the version of the different packages:


Info

ecCodes is now the official ECMWF encoder and decoder for GRIB and BUFR formats. It supersedes GRIB-API, for the GRIB format, and EMOSLIB, for the BUFR. If you still use any of those, we encourage you to migrate to ecCodes.

...

Some of the versions in this list may already be the default for a specific package on a certain platform, so no changes will be made in those cases. After the update, all platforms will have the same defaults for all these packages.
