System testing on OS X 10.7 found problems with the level 1b, gini and nexr servers. To resolve the problems, mccomp.sh was updated so optimization is turned off when compiling servutil.c, giniadir.cp and nexradir.cp on OS X. 15295 STNDB.CORE 1.68 Added station KQSA, Bagram Air Force Base, Afghanistan, to the station database STNDB.CORE. 15293 STNDB.CORE 1.67 Added the following Terminal Aerodrome Forecast stations to STNDB.CORE. NZIR ICE RUNWAY - Antarctica NZPG PEGASUS FIELD - Antarctica NZSP Amundsen-Scott South - Antarctica NZWD WILLIAMS FIELD - Antarctica KM89 Arkadelphia - Arkansas KSEZ Sedona Airport - Arizona KCPS ST LOUIS DOWNTOWN AI - Illinois K22 Big Sandy Regional A - Kentucky KPSF PITTSFIELD MUNICIPAL - Massachusetts KFVE NORTHERN AROOSTOOK R Maine KCKV CLARKSVILLE OUTLAW Tennessee KSGU St George Utah Station KDRA was removed as a Terminal Aerodrome Station. K22 is schedule to disseminate TAFs beginning Nov 2012 15273 GVAR.c 1.40 SDIUtil.c 1.35 Fixed problems with GVAR server when clients request data using IMGCOPY using SIZE=SAME or SIZE=ALL. Problem was only seen when serving data directly off an SDI-104. The cause is suspected to be compiler version dependent and only on SDI-104's. 15271 isir.for 1.47 Infrared bands for the Suomi NPP satellite were added to isir.for. Temperature data will now be shown for these bands when utilizing commands such as IMGPROBE and alt-D. 15267 msgtutil.for 1.18 Commented out debug statements that were causing compressed MSG files to fail on HPUX workstations. 15264 dsserve.pgm 1.81 imgcopy.pgm 1.124 imgdisp.pgm 1.115 imgremap.pgm 1.113 Updated help sections of IMGCOPY, IMGDISP and IMGREMAP to indicate that NAV=LALO now works with AVHRR Level 1b datasets. Note: The functional changes described here were actually released in version 2012. Also Updated help section for DSSERVE (1) add new COMS option in 'format' parameter, (2) add new COMS HRIT Dataset Remarks section, (3) remove 'KLM and later' restriction in 'POES Level 1b Dataset Remarks' section. Again thefunctional changes described here were actually released in version 2012.1. 15260 ddeservc.c 1.35 When accounting was enabled, data requests were denied from client workstations when the last digits of their IP address was greater than 127. 15251 build-dmakefiles.pl 1.152 DMake.interix 1.14 makefile 1.293 mccomp.sh 1.94 msgtaget2.for 1.23 WaveletDecompressor.c 1.2 WaveletDecompressor.h 1.3 Updated MSG servers to handle compressed files. 15247 mci_cmap.c 1.18 A memory leak was identified within mcimage (McIDAS-X image window) using the -optimizeForSpace option on Linux workstations. The memory leak caused the Xorg process memory usage to increase over time and eventually cause the workstation to freeze up. The error was traced to improper variable initialization and use of XFreeColors. 15243 STNDB.CORE 1.66 Corrected the latitude and longitude of the Kansas City TDWR station (MCI) in STNDB.CORE. 15242 wtxgsort.c 1.10 wxtlist.c 1.23 Added new EXCLUDE="string" keyword to WXTLIST. EXCLUDE= allow a user to exclude output that matches the specified string. 15237 frmsave.gui 1.18 ImageSelect.tcl 1.48 imgcopy.gui 1.41 Updated McIDAS-X GUI to recognize WSR, TDWR and RADAR as radar datasets. This updated was required because requests for radar data require a station ID. Code was also updated so the datasets use the correct entries in IMGDISP.CORE 15236 dataloc.pgm 1.25 An error was introduced into DATALOC in the 2012.1 release. A blank line was removed the from the DATALOC listing causing the GUI to omit the first dataset found in MCTABLE.TXT to be written to SERVERTABLE.TDAT. 15234 GEODATA.CORE 1.18 LEODATA.CORE 1.15 The files used by LEO (LEO.CORE) and GEO (GEO.CORE) needed updating to use the correct satellites for many datasets. Updates to the following datasets were required to GEO.CORE: MSG/FD, EASTL/NH, EASTL/SH, WESTL/NH, WESTL/SH, MTSAT/FD, INDOEX/FD. Obsolete NOAA 15-18 LAC datasets were removed from LEO.CORE. 15231 comsadir2.for 1.2 comsaget2.for 1.4 Updated COMS server to correctly identify the most recent image and added tracking capabilities. 15226 kbxprd2.dlm 1.6 SATBAND 1.69 NASA Langely requested updates to the 2-byte product calibration module kbxprd2.dlm. Corresponding changes were also made to SATBAND. 15222 giniadir.cp 1.4 giniaget.cp 1.3 giniutil.c 1.8 giniutil.h 1.4 servutil.c 1.15 Updated GINI servers to handle rain fall rate products (now band 29) and high resolution NEXRAD level 3 base reflectivity (N0Q) data. Also Included with these changes, temperature values are now scaled by 10, band for vertically integrated liquid water was switched from 29 to 14. 15219 dataloc.pgm 1.25 The code changes for SSH tunneling were made in McIDAS 2012.1. Documentation and system testing was completed for this upgrade. 15200 kbxfy2.dlm 1.3 Calibration coefficients were added for FY2D and FY2E for calculating radiance values based on temperature values. 15147 formatLatLon.tcl 1.4 Fixed problem with GUI not displaying latitude and longitude values when TERM DMS OFF is used. 15055 lv1butil.c 1.50 The utility that handles level 1b data was updated for Metop B. The internal satellite id, found in the data, is 11. 14859 ddeservc.c 1.34 Moved syslog include statement to top dsservec.c. This change was done so compiles on Ubuntu complete without errors. 14335 imgfilt.pgm 1.58 Updated IMGFILT to use the value of MAXDFELEMENTS (found in mcidas.h and areaparm.inc) for declaring the size of arrays. This change was made to make IMGFILT consistent with other IMG* commands. 14027 areaparm.inc 1.20 mcidas.h 1.104 In preparation for the launch of GOES-R, the parameter MAXDFELEMENTS found in mcidas.h and areaparm.inc was increased from 22000 to 25000. For GOES-R, the number of elements for full resolution visible is 22141.
