Changes for Version 2.6.0

New Features/Improvements

• [ECC-567] - codes_split_file tool
  A new tool has been added. It splits an input file (GRIB, BUFR etc) into chunks of roughly the same size. Very useful for parallelising operations where a large task is split into smaller ones which can be run on different processes.
  See codes_split_file
  
  

• [ECC-592] - Update BUFR tables with the latest WMO version 29
  Note: Some keys have been renamed as a result of this change:

  New name (from version 29)	Old name
  verticalSoundingProductQualifier	tovsOrAtovsProductQualifier
  bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient1	bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient1ForAtovs
  bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient2	bandwidthCorrectionCoefficient2ForAtovs

  
  

• [ECC-584] - Update GRIB2 definitions with the latest WMO V20.0.0 code tables/templates
• [ECC-549] - Create MARS stream for GRIB EFAS data

• [ECC-580] - Change of parameter name and units: 210064 and 210065

• [ECC-550] - Segmentation violation when setting descriptor 236000
• [ECC-551] - Standard deviation is shown as NAN
• [ECC-556] - BUFR: 'typicalDate' calculation should cater for invalid year in BUFR4
• [ECC-557] - class="l5": set mars.step=endStep for streams mnth/edmm/wamo/ewmm
