We're pleased to announce the release of NCL V5.1.1.

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

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

Here's a subset of what's available/changed in this release:

   - "addfile" support for shapefiles - (beta test version)

   - Change to WRAPIT

     WRAPIT no longer uses "g77" as the default compiler. If you need
     it to, use:

        WRAPIT -g77 your_file.f

   - New functions
       - Suite of str_xxxx functions for processing NCL strings
       - Faster dim_xxxx_n functions don't require reordering
       - "pdfxy" - generates a joint probability density distribution

   - Bug fixes
        - Significant bug fix for "addfiles" in which striding across
          the leftmost dimension was not working correctly:

           f = addfiles("file*07*.nc","r")
           xnew = f[:]->x(::5,:,:)

   - (Hopefully) no more libgfortran.so.x dependencies
