[Spedas-list] SPEDAS 5.0 now available

[Jim Lewis]

The SPEDAS development team is pleased to announce the release of SPEDAS
version 5.0!

SPEDAS 5.0 contains several significant updates to the interface to the
GEOPACK magnetic field modeling library, including newly added support for
the TA15B and TA15N field models and supporting routines.

The SPEDAS GUI has been updated to greatly improve its appearance and
usability on both smaller displays, and larger high-resolution displays
under a variety of OS display configuration options.

New plugins have been added to support downloads of the British Antarctic
Survay magnetometer data set, for the SOSMAG geosynchronous magnetometer
data set, and for downloading Cluster data directly from the Cluster
Science Archive.

Many other plugins, including MMS, ERG, IUGONET, and ELFIN, have been
updated to the latest available code from their respective developers.

A more detailed list of changes implemented since the release of SPEDAS 4.1
is available in the SPEDAS 5.0 release notes:

We encourage all SPEDAS users who are still using older releases to upgrade
to SPEDAS 5.0 (or a current nightly zip file) as soon as possible. The
installation instructions, source code, IDL save files, and precompiled
virtual machine executables for Mac, Linux, and Windows are all available
for download from the SPEDAS web site:
