  2. Ticket 49, clarification of flag_meanings attribute

  3. Ticket 58, remove deprecation of "missing_value" attribute

  4. Ticket 57, fix for broken URLs in CF Conventions document

  5. Ticket 56, typo in CF conventions doc

3 October 2013

Ticket 69. Added Section 5.6.1, Use of the CRS Well-known Text Format and related changes, Ticket 93, a minor correction to Section 7.3, and Ticket 65, a range entry in Apendix E.

12 November 2013

Ticket 61. Added two cell methods to Appendix E.

28 March 2014

Added John Graybeal to the authors list. N.B. That was a mistake! Jonathan Gregory didn't ask that he go here, he asked that he be added to the CF Conventions and standard names committees (that does not mean the authors list and does not mean the governance panel). c.f. today's emails. Once I do this, I should undo this document change. (I don't have access to that part of the web site today.).

7 January 2015

Ticket 93. Added two new dimensionless coordinates to Appendix D.
