The London Perl and Raku Workshop takes place on 26th Oct 2024. If your company depends on Perl, please consider sponsoring and/or attending.

Changes for version 1.32 - 2016-04-18

  • Added option of skipping decoding of section 4 either globally: new method set_nodata(), or in a filter fashion: new method set_filter_cb() takes a user defined callback function as argument for filtering on AHL and metadata in section 0-3.
  • New method reuse_current_ahl() for settling what get_current_ahl() should return when the processed BUFR message has no immediately preceding AHL.
  • New options --nodata and --ahl in bufrread.pl for skipping section 4 and filtering on AHL.
  • Decoded decimal values now displayed with the precision provided for in BUFR. E.g. "0.0" instead of "0" for value=0 and scale=1.
  • Supporting decoding of BUFR messages missing descriptors to be repeated (when corresponding delayed replication/repetition factor in section 4 is 0 and this is last data item).
