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.
