This release signifies the desire for the community to make releases at a faster cadence than verbatim tracking NCEP NAWIPS releases (#74). We will continue to attempt to merge any upstream NCEP NAWIPS releases, but will attempt to add additional functionality here.
- The install4j Java vulnerability is "addressed" by simply removing the offending jar file content, which is generally unused by the Unidata Community (#69).
- The release of
7.14.0
has a number of issues with included GEMPAK tables with Unidata modifications over-written by the NCEP NAWIPS releases (#70). There may still need to be some work done in this area, but things are much closer now to back to normal. - @sgdecker kindly provided fixes for a couple of edge cases (#44, #46).
- Developer experience improvements were made with some cleanups to the git repository (#78) and implementation of Github Actions for CI (#65, #57).
- GEMPAK now supports the newly added "Super-Res" NEXRAD Level III products (#73).
