Project Management Service

Dear user of the ZMAW Redmine Service,

due to users' demand, and in our endless efforts to make our Redmine system as useful as possible, we would like to re-configure the system to allow email notification not only for changes in Issues (as it is now), but also for News, Documents, Wikis, Forums, and Files. This means that you may e.g. go to your favourite Forum to click the 'watch' button and get an email notification whenever someone posts a new message.

While this allows for more flexibility in using Redmine for your projects, we definitely want to avoid 'Redmine spamming' for those of you who prefer checking their favourite pages themselves, or use the Atom feeds to stay up-to-date.

So we would like you to take some minutes to read the following paragraphs about the potential impact of this change for your daily work.

The change will become effective on Friday, February 15th, at noon (UTC).

Of course, if you have further questions or feedback, feel free to contact us at any time (but only expect us to answer during German office hours...)

Best regards, Your ZMAW Redmine Administration Team

• Added workaround to combine CDO operators with the result of mergetime, merge, copy, cat, ens<STAT>
  (use one input parameter with wildcards in single quotes, e.g.: 'ifile?_*')

• enlarge: added missing value support

• gradsdes: failed
• sellevel: loosing level bounds
• wrong result for user defined lonlat grids with xfirst < 0
  (This bug was introduced in CDO version 1.5.8)

New Feature:

• new return option: Masked Arrays
  if the new keyword returnMaArray is given, its value is taken as variable
  name and a masked array wrt to its FillValues is returned, examples for python and ruby can be found in the unit tests
  contribution for python by Alex Loew
• Error handling: return stderr in case of non-zero return value + raise exception
  contribution for python from Estanislao Gonzalez (#3047)
• Autocompletion and built-in documentation through help() for interactive use
  contribution from Estanislao Gonzalez [python] (#3048)

  "sample": https://github.com/Try2Code/cdo-bindings/blob/master/ruby/test/test_cdo.rb#L299

Installation works as usual with pip and gem.

New features:

• Ruby and Python bindings now use the same keys to define input and output streams
• New option force to suppress reprocessing existing output files
• New option returnArray for return a numpy/narray for a given variable name

Please have look at the updated documentation at cdo.{rb,py}

Redmine supports git repositories, but to use them from another server is not straightforward. A new wiki entry in Guidelines tells you as project manager how things work.

• Added support for netCDF4(HDF5) formatted SCRIP grid description files
• added CDO option -L to lock all I/O calls. This option is neccessary if external I/O libraries like netCDF4 (HDF5) were installed without thread-safe support.

• setunit: Set variable unit
• chunit: Change variable unit

• Info: changed output format
• Sinfo: changed output format
• Diff: changed output format

• remaplaf: fixed bug in binary_search_int()
• eca_rr1: result has wrong long name attribute

• grib2: added stepType support for absolute time axis
• netCDF: set 1D arrays to coordinate variables if axis attribute is available

• grib2: changed packingType from grid_jpeg to grid_simple if nmiss > 0
