Hi all,
We found a bug in Ferret v6.8. It affected non-standard calendar time axes only, that is time axes with the NOLEAP, JULIAN, ALL_LEAP, or 360_DAY calendars. The translation of dates in command qualifiers to time coordinates could be done incorrectly.
I have replaced the tar files for downloading Ferret, with a corrected version named Ferret v6.81. If you have installed Ferret v6.8, please update your installation.
Thank you!

This release of Ferret has two important upgrades: All calculations are done in double precision, and we have implemented a 6-dimensioned grid. The release notes are linked to the Documentation pages, http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/documentation/release-notes//version-6-8-release-notes
Ferret is backwards compatible, your existing scripts and datasets will work correctly with this version.
This Ferret release includes executables for Linux 32-bit and 64-bit linked with NetCDF-4.3 libraries and for Mac OSX.
To install Ferret, follow the instructions on the Downloads pages of the Ferret web site
