Changes for Version 2.20.0:

Please note:

  • The CMake option ENABLE_PYTHON has been renamed to ENABLE_PYTHON2
    The Python 2 interface is no longer being developed. Users are strongly advised to migrate to Python 3.
  • The GRIB2 representation of parameter 238 has been modified. See ECC-1177 for details
  • The command "codes_info -v" no longer outputs a trailing space. Some user scripts may need to be modified.
