Changes for Version 2.7.0

Contributions

• [ECC-463] - Encoding of spherical harmonics sub-truncation using IEEE-64

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-602] - Add parameters for Standardised Precipitation index (seasonal fc)
• [ECC-612] - New parameters for Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS)
• [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

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-570] - Wave forecast verification: updates for LC-WFV
• [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)
