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Some warnings have been fixed in the tests and all 'string tmp=""' or 'tmp=""' have been replaced by either an empty constructor (that does the same ) or tmp.clear() (that does the same too)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

New warnings have been tried to detect variable shadowing (one variable declared with the same name as another one), alignement issues, etc. This produces very verbose output (not all warnings are legitimate) but allowed to fix lots of cases of misalignement and shadowing issues. These options have been left in the CMakeLists but NOT enabled (since these warnings are not so easy to interpret).

the to_rad and to_deg conversion coefficients have been added to meteoconst. Small fixes for popc (missing "using namespace" and more marshaling)

Fixed a division by zero in libsmet and the "none" resampling was broken (it was deleting all data instead of propagating available data). Fixed!

The Passive_T filter has been reworked and renamed as ProcPassiveT. A proper documentation has been written for it.

All the cout have been replaced by cerr in order to avoid messing with the end user's application. Some old commented out code has been removed.

A bug was found in libsmet for Windows: if opening a file in ascii mode, end of lines are automatically translated, messing up our own effort to handle them, thus corrupting our readings. Now, all files are opened in binary mode.

The file extension (or none) can now be specified for GRIBIO. This is necessary for MeteoSwiss files that have no extensions. Better error messages in libsmet (by catching and rethrowing exceptions).

Bugfix for libsmet and thus release of the readSpecialPoints function in SMETIO.cc. It is now possible to read a vector of Coords objects through SMETIO, the format of the SMET file could be something like this:

SMET 1.1 ASCII
[HEADER]
station_id = my_pts
epsg 	   = 32632
nodata	   = -999
fields 	   = easting northing altitude
[DATA]
713700 5.05578e+06 0
730900 5.15678e+06 0
674200 5.06278e+06 0
674400 5.08078e+06 0

Fixed two small bugs, thanks to some warnings on my laptop: variables set, but not used and a hard coded value used instead (in obviously wrong ways)

A lot of writes were using std::endl for end of line, which forces a buffer flush. This lead to a visible performance cost (as shown by the profiling project made in collaboration with HES_SO). These have been replaced by "\n" that lets ostream manage its buffer as it wants.

More error checking: the offsets and multipliers must match the number of fields and the number of fields must match the true number of columns at each line

A bug was fixed in SMETIO: when given OLWR, it should have computed TSS, but it was not... (using the wrong MeteoData object).

Documentation and error messages improvements. A new method was added to Atmosphere: virtualTemperatureFactor.

A new method, getExtension() has been added to IOUtils in order to return the extension of a given filename. This is used by the SMETIO and SNIO plugins to automatically add the proper extension to input file names if they don't already have one.

The Median Average Deviation filter has been ported (and validated) to the new filtering infrastructure.

Several error messages have been improved.

The CMakeLists were not making Visual C++ happy. This has been fixed. Several types issues have been fixed. The /Wp64 option of Visual C++ has been turned off, since it reports wrongly some things as errors (dixit Microsoft and my own experience).

The OLWR hack for Norway has been implemented in SMETIO (a cleaner, long term solution will still have to be developed). Various types issues have been identified by Visual C++ and should have been fixed.

An update of libsmet. Added SMETReader::get_filename() and SMETReader::get_header_intvalue(string key) with which a header value can be directly converted into an integer.

Added libsmet.h to MeteoIO.h

2) Speedup when reading large SMET ASCII files

A new library for dealing with SMET files has been developed. The plugin SMETIO builds on top of this library now. It provides:
- A SMETReader class, to read SMET files and parse the header info
- A SMETWriter class to write SMET files and set the header info

The SMET library (libsmet.h and libsmet.cc) are completely independent from the rest of MeteoIO. They have their own exception handling and helper functions, thus they can easily be distributed to other parties wishing to read and write SMET files with C/C++.
