This is the first official release of the GFDL vortex tracker on GitHub (despite the fact that I first implemented it into operations back in 1998!). This version contains many upgrades from the past year: (1) Numerous upgrades to the R34 diagnosis scheme to improve its accuracy and to prevent problems with R34 diagnosis for storms approaching the boundaries of regional grids; (2) Significant speed-up of the processing for detection of new storms when the tracker is run in genesis mode; (3) Many fixes throughout the code to handle regional grids that span across the Greenwich Meridian, such as the HAFS grid for the South Indian Ocean, in order to work around issues where the grid-specified lonmin (e.g., 355E) is greater than the grid-specified lonmax (e.g., 100E); (4) The namelist processing was changed so that it no longer takes it from redirect standard in, instead it reads from a file specifically named namelist.gettrk in the working directory; (5) Numerous bug fixes.
