We are happy to announce the release of ecFlow 4.1.0. Beside the many improvements to the client and server, this release contains the first public release of ecFlowUI. We hope users will enjoy the new modern user interface which offers new powerful functionalities around the search and display of suite contents. Since this is the first release we would like users to test carefully the new interface and we look forward to receiving your feedback.

May 2016 software release

We are happy to announce the May 2016 release of the standard ECMWF software packages. These versions are scheduled to become the default versions on ECMWF systems in June.

This month the biggest update comes from GRIB-API: We have incorporated contributions to improve the decode performance and add support for OpenMP, added support for rotated lat/lon grids and negative forecast times in grib2.

All these packages use the same build system based on CMake - simplifying and harmonising the installation experience. They are also part of the latest Metview bundle. The versions are available on all ECMWF computer systems as "new" versions. If you encounter any issues please feel free to send feedback to Software.Support@ecmwf.int.
