Beta version of NCL 5.2.0 now available

NCL 5.2.0-beta2 is available for testing!

We are delivering this release via early access to a new ESG system,
which we plan to release for production use in the near future:

http://esg.ucar.edu/

All user accounts from the old ESG site have been created on the new
system,
and this is updated hourly. If you have any problems using the
system, please email
"esg-support AT earthsystemgrid.org", and include "ESG Early Access"
in your
Subject line. The ESG developers welcome feedback of any sort, so
please let
them know what works, what doesn't, and any suggestions you might
have for
providing better service to you.

For details on this downloading and installing this new version of
NCL, testing,
reporting problems, etc, please see:

http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Download/beta_testers.shtml

We believe this version is pretty stable as several users have been
helping us test
it and we've been testing internally for months. We would really like
your
feedback on this version, both positive and negative.

At this time we are only releasing binaries. If you really need
source code, send me
an email offline.

Some of the new and updated features in this version include:

  - New graphical output formats (including PNG) (not available for
Cygwin or AIX systems yet)
  - HDF-EOS5 reader
  - New variable types
  - New color tables
  - New and updated functions
  - New user-contributed functions
  - New resources
  - All NCL binaries now OPeNDAP-enabled (local software not
required, but may need system software)
  - Bug fixes

Thanks for your time and we look forward to receiving your feedback.
