GROOPS 2024-06-24 release notes
Updated GUI: Variables can now declared at any place in the config file (not only in the global section). They have local scope within the hierarchy level. Loop and conditions attributed to elements no longer need to be declared in the global section.
Processing of SLR data with estimation of all relevant geodetic parameters.
Added some new programs and various bugfixes.
