The SNIO and SMETIO plugins now use METEOPATH for both inputs and outputs. This is more consistent with other plugins and usage.

Some unused variables/methods have been removed from BufferedIOHandler (namely, the "buffer_always" functionality).

A first implementation of fileExists() and readDirectory() for Windows has been written. This has not yet been tested (even for compilation) since it requires Visual C++. This moves forward to address issues 143 and 144

The full support for timezones has been brought back. This fixes issue 71. The SMET, SMET, IMIS, BORMA plugins have been validated. Geotop should be validtaed if an input data set is available. A new class will have to be implemented to represent time periods. This is currently only a typedef pointing to the Date class, but a specific class would be welcomed.

GSN has been fixed for some changes on the web service, but does not retrieve the correct timestamps (is this a GSN issue?). The GSN compilation has been improved: the warnings related to GSOAP have been removed. 

A new long wave radiaiton model using cloudiness as input has been added (Omstedt, 1990). 

The changes to the IOInterface (no more vec<vec<StationData>>) have been propagated into all plugins.

The bufferAlways method of BufferedIOHandler has been renamed as setBufferProperties. The A3DIO, IMISIO, SMETIO and SNIO plugins now correctly support time zones. The plugin howto documentation now warns the developer to take care of time zones issues.

BUGFIX: When adding a key on the fly to the ConfigReader object it disappeared when accessing it in a plugin. Reason: The dynamic instantiation used the filename parameter in the constructor of the plugins instead of the ConfigReader object itself. Architectural change inside DynamicLibrary was necessary.

Changes to StationData: new string stationID (shortname)  to describe a station in short, stationName shall be used for long description of a station. changes required an adaptation within the plugins

Changes to ConfigReader: comments may appear anywhere (also after key value pairs or section names), everything after a '#' or ';' is disregarded.

PGMIO: small fix: xllcorner mixed up with yllcorner

FilterAlgorithms: extrapolate algorithm refined

Update to process LWR and Cloudiness within SNIO correctly. If Cloudiness is set, the ILWR will be calculated by using claudiness, relative humidity and air temperature.

Overall all include statements within in the library have been replaced by angle brackets, the default install path for the include file is $CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR/include/meteoio, the meteoio libraries (static and shared) will be installed in $CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR/lib per default.

The plugins will be installed in the subdirectory $CMAKE_INSTALL_DIR/lib/meteoio/plugins

A new plugin has been introduced: PGMIO that reads/writes PGM graphic files as 2D grids. (using the template plugin, it took less than 30 minutes for implementing the write2Dgrid!!)

More documentation has been updated/added, the template plugin has been fixed for some issues, the example io.ini shows more plugins usage.

Some commented out code has been removed. The check for the projection of the stations compared to the projection used for the DEM has been re-activated (it MUST be active!). The first implementation of a custom grid "interpolation" method has been done (issue 50) but can not be used: we need access to an IOHandler in order to properly read grids provided by the user. Otherwise, the rest of the code for it has been written and tested.

Then, the remaining namespace issues with doxygen have been fixed, by enclosing the full class implementation in the namespace (as seen for the libstdc++). This removes all these irritating issues. But the popc version has been broken by the change (as seen in LegacyIO).

METEO = SNOWPACK
NROFSTATIONS = 1
METAFILE = input/IMIS_Extracted_Info.txt
STATION1   = DAV1
METEOFILE1 = /home/thoems/Desktop/snowpack_ref/validation/trunk/snowpack/mst2006/MST06_RR.inp

The parameters NROFSTATIONS, METAFILE, STATION# and METEOFILE# are obligatory.

A little bug in GEOtopIO lead to the copying of the tss value to tsg.
The MeteoData::HS snow height is internally represented in meters.

The A3DIO plugin now has a writeMeteo() method. It writes all timesteps, even if truncating the timestamp to the hour. It also assumes that all stations have synchronized timesteps (ie: reading the timesteps for the first station is enough). It can also not handle metadata that change over time and it does not split 2D files per years...

Some uncommitted fixes to the documentation are now committed. Hopefully all the namespace issues (ie: broken links) are now fixed!

Most of the doxygen issues have been fixed. A few are still left (and we lost the inheritance structure in doxygen).

A trivial formatting issue has been fixed for SNIO (consistently writing "0.0" when no data is available for non mandatory fields).

The IMISIO plugin now reads the database's name, user, password from the configuration file. The SNOWPACK plugin has seen some improvements in the formatting of its output file. The code exaples have been simplified.

The POPC compilation issue has been fixed (work around a POPC bug). These work arounds have been tagged as "HACK for POPC" in DEMObject, Date, Grid2/3DObject, IOHandler.ph, LegacyIO.ph and marshall_meteoio.cc.

The SNIO plugin that was forgotten at the last commit is now here and has been improved so that it correctly formats its output (it does not read yet).
