***ODV4 Release 4.4.2 (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris-i386) Oct/07/2011:

-- New "Physical Properties (TEOS-10)" derived variables group
replaces the previous EOS-80 based variables and adds more than 20
new physical oceanography variables. References to previous EOS-80
based variables in cfg and xview files are automatically replaced
by the new TEOS-10 variables.

-- Most TEOS-10 variables are now also available in the Tools>Ocean
Calculator.

-- New GTSPP importer for version 3.8 and 4.0 GTSPP netCDF files.

-- Data and metadata files may now become larger than 2GB.

-- Drastic (ca. x50) speed-up of station selection, map drawing, and
duplicate station search. Setting up the station map now only takes
a few seconds, even for collections with millions of stations.

-- New "Gridding Misfits" button on Statistics dialogs of data
windows, which, when pressed, shows the Estimate-Data differences
of the gridding procedure.

-- New "Current Sample by ID" option in Current Sample context menu.

BUG FIX

-- "Collection>Delete Station Subset" would not properly update the map.

-- Many small fixes.
