qui se connecte sur le nouveau serveur, plus rapide et plus fiable.
zyGrib uses the new grib file server, faster and more reliable.
Max file size is now 50 MO (was 20).
New data in meteotables : geopotential altitude.
Can save data from meteotables in SYLK format, readable with a spreadsheet.
Don't use a famous but stupid spreadsheet wich do not understand
correctly languages with beautiful accentued characters,
but prefer OpenOffice.
2010-05-02 : zyGrib Version 3.9.1
More complete information about data on the map.
Add relative humidity in altitude in meteotables.
Display if possible the wind arrows at the same altitude
than the main data of the map.
Suppress a bug : area containing longitude 180°
was sometimes not displayed when zooming.
2010-04-20 : zyGrib Version 3.9.0
New altitude level : 200 hPa (≈ 11800 m).
New data : relative humidity at levels 850, 700, 500,300, 200 hPa.
Can choose altitude levels when downloading grib files.
Solve some bugs.
2010-04-03 : zyGrib Version 3.8.6
Despite malformed file headers, zygrib can now
display corrupted GRIB files distributed by

The trick red of the choice in the date moves
when the mouse comes to titillate the date selector
(sorry, automatic translation lose spoonerism !!!).
Dialog boxes more compact, so zyGrib is usable on low resolution screen (800x600).
Choose the language at the first start of the application.
Source sentences are now in english (bad :) ) to facilitate the translations.
Suppress a bug : geopotential altitudes very different from average value
was not shown.
2010-01-31 : zyGrib Version 3.8.3
Graphical date selector.
More complete information on meteorigical data shown on the map.
2010-01-28 : zyGrib Version 3.8.2
Can choose the unit for the geopotential altitudes.
Show altitude data in meteotables.
suppress a bug in the Windows version: save file path was lost.
2010-01-25 : zyGrib Version 3.8.1
Download and visualization of data in altitude
(geopotential altitude, wind, temperature, theta-e) at
850, 700, 500 et 300 hPa
(approx 1460, 3000, 5600 and 9200 meters).
When opening a gib file, the displayed date is the closest date from now.
There was a lot of very important changes in the source code structure.
It is now much easy to evoluate and to add new meteorological data.
Suppress a important bug when loading application in 3.8.0 version

of the size of the annotations on the maps.
Adaptive display of cities names, sorted by population.
Using cache memory for configuration parameters
(significant speed improvment on slow support like USB key).
Important rewriting of source code to facilitate future evolutions.
