This is the first version of an append feature for SMET files. Not all the case might be well handled but at least, it starts to work... (with more optimizations to come)

Last changes to support the Cray compiler. Please note that for Cray, you most probably have to compile with static linking!

Handling some warnings for new version of clang in MathOptim.h (turning them off for the bit manipulations). Laying the foundations for the append mode in SMET files (not usable yet).

Some docuemntation has been written in the PSUDistribute code to help with debuging *for next time*. The Accumulate resampling now fills the first nodata with 0 (since we know that we don't have enough information to re-accumulate at the first point). The unused "isGzip" booleans have been removed from the smet code since this is currently not supported the way we want it.

Improved an error message and added a note in the documentation that libproj is currently not thread-safe (as well as a little code cleanup)

Code cleanup and fix for IMIS: now the ENET stations receive the number 1 for the automatic stations instead of 0.

very minor code cleanup, some comments were wrong and have been fixed, a wrong debug message has been fixed (in toString())

A new plugin has been created to read the data from the ALPUG stations (ascii format). This is still a work in progress...

A new temporal interpolation method has been introduced, to generate sinusoidal variations of a given mean and range. This is far from perfect (discontinuities between two days) but this is a start... 

Removing some try/catch, adding some documentation and adding the missing error message as reported by issue 357

Reverting a change that made reading SMET files impossible with OpenMP. Pushing up version number to 2.4.2. Properly restoring ostream parameters before returning (in libinterpol1D, thanks to Coverity).

libsmet: a new convert_to_double implementation, based on strtod from the cstdlib, cuts conversion time to about a fourth of the stringstream implementation.

Fixing some warnings for Visual C++ and also using ostringstream instead of stringstream when appropriate

The error message when the units_multiplier and/or units_offset count don't match with the number of fields was not right (wrong count given) and has been fixed. Some variables that could be const are now const in SmetIO

Adding a link in the documentation, moving libsmet to the plugins subdirectory and small fixes in GRIBIO

The A3DIO plugin was not properly reading data, this has been fixed. Some warnings have been turned off for osX (signedness and 32/64 bits because of size_t since we will have to redo all our indices to make they consistently rely on size_t)

Fixing the indentation in libsmet and fixing the (very annoying) warnings in MathOptim.h. The cubic root optimizations have been tested and work as advertized (~3 times faster, largest relative error 1.2e-4).

This is a fix for Snowpack issue 291 : on Windows, when the file would stop right after [DATA} (ie without even a new line), the data section pointer would be invalid (set to -1) but a getline on it would not set eof and therefore the reading loop would never end... So if the data section pointer is -1, we simply return (there is obviously nothing to read).

In order to try to be closer to the spirit of the STL, now the empty strings/vectors/lists are tested with .empty(), the first/last elements of vectors accessed with front()/back(), the empty strings are not contructed with string("") but with string(), etc This makes a benchmark based on meteo_reading ~4% faster and this makes the code suprisingly easier to read. 

Some extra constification took place as well as some minor code cleanup (optimizing the comparison between two vectors in order to perform less tests, etc).

The Date class can now properly generate and parse full ISO timestamps, including time zone information. The full specification is now supported by convertString() with a helper method in the Date class. Ouputing an ISO string with its time zone is done by requesting the ISO_TZ format.

Now, when libsmet attemps to write a station that does not contain any data, it will complain but will not throw an exception (otherwise when working with large numbers of stations, the odds of getting an exception are too high). An implementation for fast cubic root is now part of Optim, but still has to be tested. Some code cleanup (using .empty(), using copy constructor instead of construct+copy) occured in IOUtils.

Lots of small fixes after running cppcheck on Windows: unused variables, use ++i instead of i++ for complex types (ie mostly iterators for us) for more performance, a few variables that could be passed as const&, use vector.empty() instead of vector.size==0 (for clarity and potentially performances).

The FileIndexer class still had some bug (such a surprise). It is now working properly. Some constification in libsmet

SMET now uses fully the new file indexer class and creates indexes at least every 2000 lines (as in SNIO)

Some warnings have been fixed in the tests and all 'string tmp=""' or 'tmp=""' have been replaced by either an empty constructor (that does the same ) or tmp.clear() (that does the same too)

The indexing for SNIO and SMETIO was not working (because of BUFF_READ_BEFORE, we are almost never restarting exactly at the last read time step, but before). Moreover, SNIO was always reading the whole file, even past the specified dateEnd. This was extremely slow on large input file. This has been fixed. SNIO is still quite slow (it seems something like 10x compared to SMETIO), but it is much more acceptable. A file indexer class has been implemented in IOUtils.

Fixing a small bug/warning in libsmet and properly initializing the members in some plugins (through initialization lists, as usual).
