CDO

New features:

• Proj 4 to 6 API Migration
• smooth/smooth9: Added support for gridtype PROJECTION [Feature #9202]
• Expr: Added function rand() and isMissval()
• Remap: Added support for Gaussian reduced grids
• trend, detrend: Added parameter equal=false for unequal timesteps
• Option --no_remap_weights: Switch off generation of remap weights

New operators:

• deltat: Difference between timesteps

Fixed bugs:

• ensavg: Wrong result if data contains missing values (same result as ensmean)
• Ydrunstat: Fix seg. fault

Currently I work on a redesign of the Python and Ruby interface to CDO towards a 2.0 release. This will include API changes that are not backward compatible to the current 1.5.x version.

I wrote a list of open points here and I'd like to invite everyone to join the discussion and come up with ideas on how to write down things in the future. Please create tickets at https://github.com/Try2Code/cdo-bindings/issues so that ideas and wishes can be collect in a transparent way.
