MeteoIO

The handling of plugins has been redone in order to be less confusing for the users (there is no PLUGIN_PATH to set anymore). The sun model has been improved and several rare bugs fixed. Several plugins are now handling large files in a much more efficient manner. Several speed optimizations have been implemented through the code, as well as a lot of cleanup in order to conform to C++ best practices. This version compiles for Android.

A major performance improvement has been found by slightly changing the API. This leads to an 8 times speed up. Several bugs have been fixed and several plugins improved in order to get the most out of the available data. Some new filters have been implemented. More error messages have been improved for clarity.

This release brings much improved packaging to Windows and Mac. A lot of cleanup has been done in the code as well as the build system. Many legacy hacks have been fixed, leading to bugfixes and some speed improvements. Significant efforts have been put into the statistical methods, implementing a least square fitting class, statistical analysis methods, and a more consistent interface to such methods.

This version now supports Windows with Visual C++ or Code::Blocks. Several plugins have been significantly improved in term of robustness, speed, and error messages. The various array structures have been improved by adding new method and improving existing ones. Speed has been improved and multiple bugs fixed. In order to help applications that provide their own data and need to bypass the data reading by the plugins, data injection capability has been added.

The structure has been deeply modified in order to address several shortcomings and bugs. A new user interface class has been designed. The filtering infrastructure was rewritten. The spatial interpolations were integrated. The buffering was refocused on buffering issues. The meteorological data structures have been merged with the metadata structures in order to make the user code simpler and more compact. A first set of meteorological physical laws has been introduced around sun and standard atmosphere models.
