We are happy to announce a new Met.3D version 1.6/20.04!

• While this version gets the next version number 1.6, we plan to change the version numbers in the future to a simple "YY.MM.number" format to better reflect the continuous work on Met.3D. We use both numbers for now.
• A simple batch mode (configurable in the frontend.cfg file) allows to automatically produce time animations.
• New utility scripts (see the new util/ directory) have been added that support download of forecast data from the DWD opendata sever.
• A "status light" has been added to indicate that the pipeline is processing.
• New derived variables have been added, e.g. PV for hybrid sigma pressure grids.
• Several bugs have been fixed, including erroneous coastlines and a bug in the raycaster that caused wrong illumination close to borders.
• A binary distribution is available for Linux, see the downloads page.
• Some bugfixes, see the issue tracker.
