[AWIPS #PEA-673558]: Grid products have stopped working on AWIPS

Hi there,

The next version of AWIPS (version 20) will be fully ported to Python 3.  We do 
not have
an estimated release date as of yet, but if you join our mailing list:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/index.html#mailinglists'
We will send out updates when that release is ready.

> But I have to say, I'm disappointed with the lack of compatibility.   (Even

> first Monterey release several months ago, AWIPS was giving a compatibility 
> issue
> warning, which was acknowledged as an known issue on your website.)

As a public institute offering free software and support, we do our best to 
make AWIPS
available to everyone, but we have limited resources. We hope our next release 
will be 
fully supported by the latest MacOS.


> I'll have to try VM fusion and run an older Mac system version.

Let us know if you have any luck with a VM.

Thanks.
