This is version 2.1.19

This git repo was created from svn revision 652 at https://ncl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/ncl/branches/v2.1

Most documentation for this C++ class library is in the form of HTML files in the html directory. Please begin by viewing the html/index.html file in your web browser.

See the INSTALL file for important information about building and installing the NCL and example programs, and incorporating the NCL into your own applications.

As of March 09, 2012, NCL is available under a Simplified BSD license (see BSDLicense.txt) in addition to the GPL license.

Many of the files used for testing were provided by Arlin Stoltzfus (see http://www.molevol.org/camel/projects/nexus/ for more information), the Mesquite package, and from TreeBase (thanks, to Bill Piel!).

The SWIG bindings for version 2.1 were inspired by the work of David Suarez Pascal in the 2007 Google Summer of Code. They were simplified using new features of NCL 2.1. Thanks to David for blazing the way on the old version, Google for funding, and NESCent (in particular Hilmar Lapp) for getting the NESCent GSoC program going.

The 2010 GSoC effort also led to enhancements in terms of annotation storage and xml parsing which are currently on:

Thanks to NESCent, Google, and Michael Elliot for that support.
