Subject: [Openmadrigal-admin] Madrigal 2.2.1 release
Message-ID: <3EFB2685.5010702@haystack.mit.edu>

Madrigal 2.2.1 is now available for download at the following site:

http://www.haystack.edu/madrigal/madDownload.html

The following summary is taken from that page (visit the link above for 
more complete infomation):

**************************

Madrigal 2.2.1 is a minor release, with a bug fix and several new 
features since Madrigal 2.2. These changes are:

     * Global searches can now run either just on the local Madrigal 
database or on all the Madrigal databases at once (as suggested
by Tony van Eyken).

     * By clicking on "Run Models", users can calculate any derived 
Madrigal parameter (such as magnetic fields, or geophysical parameters) 
for arbitrary times and ranges of position.

     * Loading of the isprint web page is now faster due to the 
automatic production of summary files.

     * New parameters: BHHMMSS and EHHMMSS (suggested by Mary McCready 
at SRI).

     * Bug fix: New releases of linux no longer support the mktime 
system call for dates before 1970. This caused a problem with older 
Madrigal files (since ISR predates UNIX). This problem has been fixed. 
(First seen at the Cornell installation).

(Plans for Madrigal 2.3 include graphics support and a complete Matlab 
API, but please feel free to make any suggestions).

As always, please feel free to contact me at brideout@haystack.mit.edu 
or 1-781 981 5624 with any installation concerns, question, or comments. 
My vacation this summer is July 1-12, 2003.
