Also note that the tool grib_info is now renamed to codes_info.
Please also note that some changes have been made to the definitions language so for users who have their own versions of the the definitions need to be aware of the following change:
In ecCodes the keyword "length" has been changed to "section_length" so for example in the file definitions/grib1/section.1.def:
length[3] section1Length;has been changed to
section_length[3] section1Length ;
The migration from GRIB-API to ecCodes will not affect user software and will be managed in installation and linking phases. Nevertheless, very significant changes in the library have been performed to implement the encoding of different types of messages and in particular for BUFR.
