new version of NCL coming soon

Greetings NCL users,

We are pleased to announce that the next version of NCL (V4.3.0) will
be released mid-April, and is available *now* for testing. (See
below.) We especially are looking for testers for the new GRIB2
reader.

Note the new version number: this version contains several new features,
and we decided to move away from the tired "4.2.0.a0xx" scheme.

Here are some of the major features:

  - GRIB2 reader
  - Updates to GRIB1 reader: important to know about
  - New "where" function
  - Two-dimensional forward/backward Fourier transform routines
  - Two cumulative sum routines
  - New graphics routines "gsn_contour_shade" and "gsn_table"
  - Twelve new color tables

A full description of the new features and functionality in version
4.3.0 can be found at:

    http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/future_release.shtml

If you'd like to be a tester, send me a personal email and include the
information about your system (output from "uname -a" and version of
"gcc" if you are using this).

--Mary
