We are pleased to announce the version 4.0.0 release of NCEPLIBS-g2 library.
The NCEPLIBS-g2 library contains Fortran decoder/encoder routines for GRIB edition 2. This is part of the NCEPLIBS . Starting with version 4.0, the NCEPLIBS-g2 library contains the utilities found in the NCEPLIBS-grib_util project. That project is now retired, and those utilities will be maintained in the g2 library.
Also starting with the g2-4.0.0 release, the g2c library (version 2.1.0 at least) is required for g2.
For more detail, see the NCEPLIBS-g2 documentation.
