This is the first full (Production-ready) release of ecCodes.
This means that the application has gone through a thorough internal testing process and that all known technical issues have been resolved. It is now fully functional and ready to be released for general use.

GRIB encoding and decoding has been particularly well tested within the IFS and ecCodes replaces GRIB-API in the next operational cycle update.
BUFR encoding and decoding has been tested and work has started to replace BUFRDC with ecCodes in ECMWF operational software.

Downloadable from our Releases page.
