Changelog2 1 2

This is the changelog for MeteoIO release 2.1.2

• Bug fixes:
  • SMET reading (processing of OLWR, timezone, mksa factors)
  • ARPSIO grid reading (wrong reading order)
  • min and max filters: always "soft"
  • Array2D scalar division (dividing twice)
  • serious warning fixed on Windows
  • typing issues fixed on Mac
• Improvements, cleanup
  • major performance improvement: the meteo parameters are NOT accessible as md.ta BUT as md(MeteoData::TA) or md("TA"). This leads to a x8 speedup. md.setdata() has similarly been replaced by md()= xxx
  • input parameter copy, with the COPY keyword
  • added setMinBufferRequirements() so an application can specify its buffering requirements. No need to artificially pre-read some data in the application anymore.
  • possibility to read 1D fit model as a string (ie: read as user input).
• filters
  • MAD filter ported and validated
  • Small performance improvement by using vector.reserve()
  • some plugins add a default extension to their input data files if no extension was provided (SMETIO and SNIO)
  • a new filter has been created, HNW_MELT, to detect solid precipitation melting in an unheated rain gauge
• plugins
  • key NROFSTATIONS removed for all plugins
  • GSNIO plugin code cleanup
  • filling more metadata in GSNIO: slope and azimuth, given in degrees or strings (ie: "NW"). Station name is also filled.
  • more metadata extracted from SNIO plugin
  • IMISIO now rejects precipitation data from stations that don't have heated rain gauges (default). It can be forced to take them in consideration with a configuration key.
• compilation
  • static compilation optional for Linux and Mac (mandatory for Windows, otherwise the .lib don't get built)
  • warnings turned off when compiling imported gsoap files with VC++
  • popc adjustments
  • small adjustements so meteoio compiles for Android (but the plugins are not compiled yet, see issue 211)
• Documentation
  • documentation and error messages expanded, improved and standardized
