Yes, the beta version we released (v0.8) didn't include the 1dvar which unfortunately is a little delayed. We thought to release the initial code without it, so testers could have something to start with (and would pre-install dependencies like netCDF which might anyway take them some time). The documentation, of course already describesthe 1dvar.
The 1dvar part is about to undergo internal alpha-testing and we will make it available as soon as we can - this will be called beta release v0.9, and may include bug fixes to the v0.8 if any are reported. You won't have to go through the request procedure again - we'll just notify beta testers when its ready to be downloaded, and if any of the other components have changed.

Dear Beta Tester,
As you requested a ROPP license for beta testing a few weeks ago, we would be grateful if you could provide us with some response on your experiences. Could you please answer the following questions:
- Did you download and install ROPP on your local machine? If not,
please provide some reason why not and disregard all further questions.
Yes.
- What type of platform and compiler did you use for the installation,
please provide for example the 'uname -a' command output for the platform and the compiler name and version.
Cygwin, g95
- Did you encounter any problems in the installation process, either
during the installation of the libraries, or of ROPP itself?
Looks fine.
- Did you find the installation manual helpful, are there any parts
missing or ambiguous or did not provide enough information?
It is instructive and helpful
- Did you run through any of the provided testing scripts to assure
that the compiled copy is working? If yes, please mention any problems you encountered.
Not test yet
- Did you find the user guide and reference manual useful? Is anything
missing from them?
It is helpful.
- Any other problems or suggestions for improvement, e.g. concerning
the GRAS-SAF web site at the Met Office, or modules missing in ROPP?
ropp_1dvar is not in the download directory, but the download instruction includes it.
Thanks for your help
