A class diagram has been added to the documentation as well as more detailed instructions in the "how to write a plugin" section (with links to the template plugin and CMakeLists compilation files)

GSNIO is now capable of accepting a user specified web service endpoint. Simply add the ENDPOINT key to your io.ini and set it to the correct location, e.g. http://197.43.210.10:22221/services/A3DWebService/

ENDPOINT = http://197.43.210.10:22221/services/A3DWebService/

The WSMDF format has been renamed into SMET. Therefore, the plugin has been renamed in SMETIO. Compilation and documentation have been updated accordingly.

The warning flags are now grouped in variables that can be enabled/disabled by the plugins. The detection of Oracle paths is now working (and if nothing has been found, the user has to provide these paths in the configuration interface).

The WSMDF plugin now sports a nicer formatting of columns in ASCII mode. TODO: unit_multiplier, unit_offset and GZIP

Fixed the behavior of ConfigReader when throwing exceptions: it rethrows so that the error message can be turned off by the receiver of the exception (if simply not printing e.what() when catching the exception). 

The warnings in FilterAlgorithms have been turned off cast to void) since this is an algorithm that has to be re-written anyway. The documentation has been fixed (missing documentation, broken link, etc)

The WSMDF  binary data format now saves the julian date as a double (64bit) all other parameters are stored as floats (32-bit) and a dataset is terminated by a char '\n'.

Binary version of WSMDF working.
TODO: change timestamp to julian and GZIP features

Added new plugin for WSMDF format. gzipped version of format currently not supported. binary version works, but since the julian date does not fit into a 4 byte (32bit) float, it is unusable. ASCII format works, although unit_multiplier and unit_offset are currently not supported. For location information the easting, northing version is not yet supported.

Added function IOUtils::stripComments(string&) it, deletes everything after # or ; from the string&

Implementation of binary search in IOUtils::seek(date, vecMeteo) - therefore the implementation of seek in BufferedIOHandler became obsolete. BufferedIOHandler now fully relies on IOUtils::seek and IOUtils::npos.

The new filtering and resampling framework. Filtering/Processing and Resampling have been separated from each other, the Resampling is now done with the class Meteo1DInterpolator which utilizes the static algorithms within ResamplingAlgorithms. The filtering remains a task of class MeteoFilter. The calling of the resampling and filtering as well as the data selection is now based in the facade class MeteoProcessor. MeteoProcessor::processData function calls the filtering algorithms, then passes the filtered data to the resampling algorithms and finally runs a "check only" filtering pass.

The filtering system underwent some changes in order to simplify the tasks at hand, the interface has changed.

The RateFilter is currently disfunctional, needs to be reimplemented.

The bug that was preventing the POPC version to build has been fixed (an unecessary space was present between the "-I" and the include path).

The obsolete createA3DFiles has been deleted.

ImisIO ran into troubles with oracle when requesting a date with the hour set to 24 (ORACLE only accepts values from 0 to 23), thus a small fix needed to be applied.

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

Added the exponential smoothing filter "exp_smoothing" and rewrote the "mean_avg" and "median_avg" filter to calculate the mean and median for every element within vecFilteredM.

Usage of the new filter:
HS::filter1 = exp_smoothing
HS::arg1 = soft left 1 7200 0.6

The last argument specifies the smoothing factor alpha, the other arguments steer the window calculation (in this case a left leaning window with at least 1 data point spanning 7200 minutes.

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.

Added a function that seeks for a given date within a vector of MeteoData. There are two modes of operation, depending on a boolean argument (true per default value): 
1) the date must exactly match one within the vector
2) the date doesn't have to exactly match up, in that case the vector must "contain" the date given an the index returned is for the first element of the vector with the a date greater than the one sought for.

In case of failure, the function returns IOUtils::npos

Added a missing include in ARPSIO.h

The types TYPE_DOUBLE2D, TYPE_DOUBLE3D and TYPE_INT2D have been removed (and replaced by another, internal name because POPC does not accept templates and needs an alias for them). A variable that was used only within two private methods with a local scope in IOHandler has been removed from the class scope and is now a local variable.

LegacyIO has now finally been removed!! (Hurrah! Freedom!). This version has also a few hacks so that it successfully compiles with POPC (there were still issues with the namespaces)

General cleanup: the time.cc example sets a timezone variable, an unnecessary "mio::" has been removed in Coords, and two template files have been added to help plugin development (and mentionned in the documentation). 

The cmake targets have been changed into "safe", "optimized", "par" and "hera". (the later being specific for the hera cluster).

Small improvement for class Coords: the std::map objects to_wgs84 and from_wgs84 are static from now on.

New interpolation interface: Now the 1D interpolation can be configured by the user through an own section in io.ini:

[Interpolations1D]
TA::resample = linear
TA::args     = extrapolate
RH::resample = nearest_neighbour
HNW::resample = no
P::resample = linear

Currently two algorithms are implemented: linear interpolation and nearest_neighbour interpolation. The interpolation can be switched off explicitly by P::resample = no

The default remains linear resampling, however the linear resampling may not only resample within bounds (interpolate), but also out of bounds (extrapolate), this needs to be configured with the resampling algorithm argument "extrapolate" as seen in the example above. 

The support for true ARPS ascii grids (as coming out of ARPS) has been implemented. Now the plugin can transparently identify if the grid has been modified by ARPSGRID or not and curreclty load it is any case.

The ARPSIO plugin's documentation is now correclty linked to the rest of the documentation. The reading of DEMs has been validated (with some bug fixes). It currently only works for APRSGRID modified data files (but supporting original ARPS ascii files should be easier). More explicit error messages have been added to Array2D
