The plugins are now handled by an object factory, removing the need for the IOPlugin class. Otherwise, small documentation update in GeneratorAlgorithms.

better file structure: all the classes purely focused on data storage (such as grids, dates, etc) have been moved into a "dataClasses" directory. All subdirectories are nhow named similarly to the classes and methods: the words after the first one are capitalized.

Some headers were not included and the header files were not listed in any kind of convenient order... This is not fixed (find meteoio -name "*.h" | sort gives the order we follow)

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

The == and != operators have been added to the arrays (easier for debugging). Array4D was not included in MeteoIO.h and has been added.

oups, fixed an include that had to be removed... By the way, the last changes lead to good compiler optimizations: in optimized mode, on 1 year of data, the speed up is above 30%

A3DIO is now a plugin like any other, that is built by default but can also be disabled. The plugins are now listed in alphabetic order by ccmake.

A new file has been created to contain math optimizations (fast invSqrt, fast floor, etc). Please keep in mind that you must benchmark your code before committing something using these functions, since such optimizations can actually be slower than the standard version in some cases...

Changing the case of A3D_VIEW in ARCIO, fixed an image corruption issue in PNGIO (libpng just *forgets* to flush the file buffer...). Added a missing include in MeteoIO.h

The "RateFilter" filter has been renammed "FilterRate" in order to be more consistent with other filters (this does not change anything user-side). A new filter has been created, HNW_MELT. This applies the Snowpack criteria on a precipitation measurement: if relative humidity is not high enough or TA and TSS too far apart, it is considered that any measured precipitation comes from snow melting in the (unheated) rain gauge, therefore the measurement is deleted.

The last occurences of NROFSTATIONS have been deleted in BormaIO, closing issue 163.

Some code cleanup took place in CosmoIO and FilterMax.

In IMISIO, a new option and behavior has been implemented to properly manage precipitation measurements: ANETZ stations keep their HNW (they are considered reliable). IMIS stations by default don't produce HNW anymore. A key (USE_IMIS_HNW) can force using them, but a detection of winter conditions (ie: TA>0 and TSS>0) removes measurements known to be invalid. If neither TA nor TSS are available, then HNW is deleted (in order to prevent injecting HNW=0 in the system during a freeze event if the station would happen to miss TA and TSS). USE_IMIS_HNW should always be followed by the HNW_MELT filter.

Some Visual C++ warnings have been turned off (namely, that it can not generate a copy constructor) in MeteoIO.h, so each application using MeteoIO would benefit from it (and avoid being polluted by unecessary warnings). 

Exception catching is now done by const reference, as recommended in our coding style.

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

Spatial resampling has been added. This is still quite primitive (no end-user front end or interaction, only nearest neighbor or bilinear), but can nevertheless be convenient. Since the "round" function call was needed, the VC++ implementation has been moved to IOUtils so no matter what is the compiler, we can use "round" in the code (this is NOT in the IOUtils namespace, but still in the mio namespace). 

Several obsolte comments/hacks have been removed and the DEBUG_ARITHM flag commented out, since it does not belong into a library (this is per process, not per object). The VC++ "equivalent" flag still needs to be checked (ie: is it per process or per object?). A missing "required" flag for cmake for Oracle has been added.

Finally, the lsm file had been forgotten in the last release... this is now in order.

The POPC parallel object version of MeteoIO has been removed: now the library can be compiled with popc so that all marshalling code is present, but it does NOT create a parallel object of its own. This means that the caller is 100% responsible for deciding what should go into its own parallel object.

Some documentation has been updated as well as better error messages in smetio.

The CMakeLists have been reworked according to some comments from the cmake mailing list.

The popc structure has been reverted to what it was before. The new structure, without any parallel objects was not working. 

The gcc flags used by the autotools have been adapted to follow more closely what cmake generates.

The POPC version has been heavily transformed. Since we would need IOManager has a popc object and this is quite hard (we need a backreference in Meteo2DInterpolator), all parclasses have been removed. Instead, the user will have the responsability to packaged IOManager in his own parclass if needed. This makes the code simpler and skips difficult issues...

A new fill method has been added to the Array2D and Array3D templates that does the reverse of subset (ie: reassemble arrays).

Better error messages have been put in SNIO.

A new Date setter that takes a Date object has been created.

This version does NOT correctly compile with the autotools (it leads to a segfault when running code using MeteoIO), but the cmake compiled library works fine.

Fixed a bug happening with more recent Ubuntu: colorgcc does not correctly compile c++. So, for the autotools colorgcc has been removed.

Another commit related to timezones... The Unix date always being in UTC, this has been fixed. The resampling was not using dates in a proper way, this has been fixed. The GSN plugin has also been fixed, it now rounds time to the closest minute (in order to be consistent with our advertised "1 minute time resolution"). A rounding method has been implemented for dates.

The timezone parameter in io.ini is now named TIME_ZONE instead of TZ for clarity. 

Undefined dates should now be fully handled (ie: also in arithmetic).

Refreshing the includes in MeteoIO.h and paving the way for the popc version (that still has to be done for IOManager).

Finalization of the new filtering infrastructure: speed optimizations (IOManager, MeteoProcessor), clean up

The least square fit now works. It still needs some polishing (to dynamically change the fit model), but the core works.

A new way of calling Matrix::solve has been added (writing the result into a given matrix instead of allocating a new one).

A missing include in MeteoIO.h has been added.

A new version of the CosmoXMLIO plugin is also part of this commit, with some necessary fixes in the CMakeLists

A new group of classes has been created, under the meteolaws subdirectory. This contains various general meteorological laws, such as a sun radiation model, standard atmosphere, etc

The first implementation (not tested yet) of a non-linear least square fit algorithm has been implemented in the libfit1D. 

Several documentation issues have been fixed (obsolete code examples, etc) and classes grouped by modules. This should help the user to quickly locate the classes of interest. 

A new setAltitude() method has been added to Coords in order to be able to manually build stations from grided data and dem. A bug in Grid2DObject has been found that was reseting i,j,k to nodata when doing a gridify with i,j,k known. Better date parsing abilities have been implemented in IOUtils so that purely numerical dates as generated with the date format NUM can be parsed if *part* of a string in a meanigful way (useful for recovering dates from file names). 

A small Timer class has been added for easy code timing. This was in Alpine3D and had been imported from popc (with their agreement) and now quite heavily reworked.

Introducing the new IOManager - the user interface to meteoio. This version is fully backwards compatible, but does not incorporate all features of the BufferedIOHandler: the grid reading and writing are currently not supported by this IOManager.

The embryo of a matrix class has been implemented. It is still based on Array2D and therefore the indexing is still 0 to n-1 instead of being 1 to n and the coordinates are swapped compared to normal matrices.

New regression models have been added, all based on the linear regression code but using variable transforms to achieve their goal. 

The global header file (MeteoIO.h) was incomplete. It has therefore been reorganized and now contains everything that it should...

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

Changed the name of the Date_IO class to Date. In case of namespace conflicts, just use mio::Date to reference the MeteoIO Date class.

The new interpolations interface with all algorithms that used to reside within libinterpol2D exclusively. Every algorithm is an own class derived from InterpolationAlgorithm abstract base class. An AlgorithmFactory instantiates the required algorithm within class Meteo2DInterpolator. The user needs to configured which algorithms to be used within the section [Interpolations2D] in the io.ini:

[Interpolations2D]
TA::algorithms = cst cst_lapse idw_lapse
TA::cst_lapse = -0.008

libinterpol1D has a new function for the calculation of arithmetic means. all of libinterpol2D is static. the rest will be thrown out in the coming days.

The MapProj class has been renamed in Coords. It now contains the coordinates (lat,long) and (xcoord, ycoord) and should therefore be used as a storage and conversion class. The necessary changes have been made to the rest of the code so it uses this class, but it still does NOT use it as a storage of coordinates (which will have to be done in the future). This addressed partially issue 35.

The license information has been added: LPGLv3 headers in all header files, license texts as well as a Linux Software Map entry file.

The installation procedure has been added to cmake configuration files (similar to the autotools)

A small but irrtating bug in the Makefile has been fixed (failure to install when the parallel version had not yet been compiled). 

The doxygen documentation has been updated with the documentation of the plugins (from a user point of view). The data assimilation reading methods have been slightly tweaked (so that they read a time stamp containing minutes and not only hours). 

The doxygen documentation has been updated: a few bugs were fixed (mismatch between prototype and method's header, mostly between std::XXX and XXX) and the main page has been created as well as several general pages.

The doxygen comments have been fixed and largely expanded: the welcome page is now populated and some general documentation proposed. 

The prototypes of the filters have been fixed (doxygen was complaining) so that we always use std:: when necessary.

The Grid3DObject checkCoordinates has been implemented along the same lines as Grid2DObject. The altitude is still missing though...

The check for POPC++ has been added to the autotools configuration. 

A small improvement to the way the A3DIO plugins handles incoming nodata has been done. A few HACKS have been fixed and removed. Some error messages (in libinterpol2D) have been improved, their printf relpaced by a std::cerr and an extra check (using assert) has been added so that no Td would be computed if Rh<0 (and we would throw an exception).
