If the Data Quality checks are in, inform Matthias Zink for PGEN


Mention that more tests now pass on Microsoft Windows.

Tell Xiaobo re release and CDS (CDS NetCDF issues). Inform Gionata and James Varndell

ECC-1029 Python3: Turn off type checking by default!   Announce this change !!
ECC-1040: Add in documentation / installation page
ECC-1041: Show example of NetCDF variable names as a result of this change

Do not include ECC-499: Only works in the C API, no Python/F90!
Do not include ECC-991: Fast BUFR header (internal only)


Changes for Version 2.16.0:

New Features/Improvements

  • Performance enhancements
    • [ECC-1029] - Python3 bindings: Type checks on function arguments should be disabled by default
      In the new Python3 bindings, by default no type checking will be done. If you wish to enable them, set the environment variable ECCODES_PYTHON_ENABLE_TYPE_CHECKS to 1.
      The type checking can add a significant overhead in cases where ecCodes functions are called many times.
  • [ECC-794] - Python3 interface: Expose the grib_get_data function
  • [ECC-992] - GRIB encoding: Data quality checks (limits)
  • [ECC-1018] - Encoding and decoding of DIAG pseudo-GRIB messages
  • [ECC-1038] - grib_util_set_spec: Add support for unstructured grids (GRIB2)
  • [ECC-1048] - new GRIB local section for model error in ELDA
  • [ECC-1032] - Python3 bindings: Add methods codes_samples_path() and codes_definition_path()
  • [ECC-1037] - eccodes should build with openjpeg 2.3
  • [ECC-1040] - Implement a way of choosing whether OpenJPEG or Jasper are linked, instead of always linking whichever is found, possibly both
  • [ECC-1045] - GRIB1: Local definition 5: Allow lowerThreshold and upperThreshold to be MISSING
  • [ECC-1051] - bufr_dump -Efilter should output the sample file to use
  • [ECC-1052] - Porting: Improved support for Windows

Bug Fixes

  • [ECC-1035] - Memory leak: setting 'scaleValuesBy' and 'setBitsPerValue' when an error occurs
  • [ECC-1039] - Problem converting to expver=test of new ocean data with levtype=o2d
  • [ECC-1041] - grib_to_netcdf gives unexpected parameter names
  • [ECC-1042] - Python3 interface writes integer arrays incorrectly
  • [ECC-1047] - S2S ocean: MARS levtype incorrect for 151131 and 151132
  • [ECC-1022] - Grib2 Keys: parameterName, parameterUnits are displayed incorrectly if the parameterName includes parentheses


  • No labels
