 TSG-QC Release notes
 Contact: jacques.grelet@ird.fr
 
+v1.48.5rc3 (2018-09-11)
++ add command line argument DEBUGGING option
++ remove tsg_icon from matlabpath at the end of program tsgqc
++ swap and improve error message in read_Climatology function
++ add climatology menu on map to disable/enable 2D climatology
++ remove/comment set(hAxes(PlotNum), 'YLimMode', 'auto'); in plot_Tsg.m
+
 v1.48.5rc2 (2018-09-06)
 + regression on labview read file: the use of lat_dec and lon_dec by default 
   introduced a bug, lat_mn and lon_mn could not be read. Returns to the default
