MAGICS++ Version 2.12 ( November 2010)
* NEW threaded contouring
* NEW use high quality shape files from http://www.naturalearthdata.com/
for coast lines & rivers
* Allow plotting of metgrams from Weather Parameter BUFR files
(using Python interface)
* Improved BUFR synop plotting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGICS++ Version 2.10 ( April 2010)
* NEW object-oriented Python interface (magmacro.py)
* NEW action routine PIMPORT to include raster graphics into plots (for logos, etc)
* Improved BUFR synop plotting
* Updates on Geopoint interface
* Clean-up of installation routines
* Uses Grib_API 1.8x & 1.9.0
* New object-oriented Python interface (magmacro.py)
* Test suite is made to compile outside ECMWF
* Development was driven mainly by Metview 4 developments and WREP
* Removal of OpenGL driver and replacement through a Qt based driver
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGICS++ Version 2.8 ( October 2009)
* Improvements in the graph plotting
* Improved satellite plotting
* More options on InputMatrix for irregular grid
* NEW Introduction of a parameter 'subpage_mapping'. If this parameter is set
'automatic', the geographical area will be automatically adjusted to the plotted
data. This option is only available for cylindrical and mercator projection.
The default is 'user_defined'. Requested by Tigge team.
* NEW Introduction of a shading technique (parameter contour_shade_technique = 'grid_shading').
This shading technique will attach a colour to each grid point of the grid.
No interpolation is performed - a filled box is drawn around each grid point.
* Improved Taylor diagram
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAGICS++ Version 2.6 ( October 2008)
* Changes in contouring and shading, including better support for missing data
* Add rotated grid
* Bug fixes related to NetCDF cross-sections
* Better support for multiple POPEN calls

* Adjustment of Mercator projection
* Small fix in wind plotting
* Fix FFT support in raster output (PNG, GIF - only AIX was affected)
* Smaller bugs fixes and improvements
This release contains the first prototype of a C++ and Python interfaces; please
contact us if you want to use it.
