01 May 2018 fastrack2018.1_changes.txt This file contains the list of McIDAS-X version 2018.1 modules that were changed since the previous release (version 2017.2). This information is provided so you can see exactly what has changed between those versions (and note bug fixes, try new features, etc.). The changes are listed below, sorted by SSEC inquiry number. Each entry contains the following information: - SSEC inquiry number (the five-digit number at the beginning) - each module that was updated in the inquiry, followed by the module's CVS version number - a general description of the changes and how they impact McIDAS Modules released 01-May-18 in version 2018.1 -------------------------------------------- 16538 frmsave.c 1.14 glmdisp.pgm 1.35 imgdisp.pgm 1.131 lvf.pgm 1.46 m0frmtyp.c 1.4 m0glue.h 1.31 mci_updt.c 1.44 mcinit.c 1.24 mcline.c 1.40 panel.c 1.18 rgbdisp.c 1.20 svfutil.c 1.16 Initial release of the RGBDISP command. RGBDISP displays a color image using three frames or datasets as RGB components. This allows users to display RGB imagery in the McIDAS display frames and create loops. 16536 kbxvisr.dlm 1.27 For some bands of imagery that was displayed with MCSTRETCH, AXFORM was returning temperature values of zero. This update fixes AXFORM to return the correct temperature values. 16534 grib2NavLookup.txt 1.43 grib2NCEPModels.txt 1.15 grib2Parameters.txt 1.19 Updates to GRIB2 information in grib2NavLookup.txt, grib2Parameters.txt, and grib2NCEPModels.txt which will be used in McIDAS-XCD 2018.1. 16533 abincalb.inc 1.10 kbxabin.dlm 1.27 The ABIN calibration was updated for L2 products. The data is stretched to match AWIPS standards. This allows the L2-*.ET enhancements in McIDAS-XRD to be properly applied to the displayed images to best match AWIPS. 16520 isenhstr.for 1.12 kbxavh3.dlm 1.10 kbxavhr.dlm 1.19 lv1baget.cp 1.48 MCSTRETCH.TXT 1.10 poesaget.cp 1.40 Update MCSTRETCH to include NOAA-10 to -19 and Metop-A to -C. This affects the BAND=3 displays for these satellites. 16510 kbxabin.dlm 1.24 A problem was fixed where the user couldn't display a remapped GOES-16 image if the SS number was changed to 10 for making composites. This was updated in the ABIN calibration module. 16505 cursor.c 1.3 frmflag.c 1.2 frmsave.c 1.11 ftogif_.c 1.11 Graphics.c 1.23 m0cmgra.c 1.4 m0glue.h 1.30 m0posuc.c 1.16 m0shmget.c 1.11 m0uc.inc 1.2 m0uclock.c 1.11 makfrm.c 1.6 mcenh_.c 1.12 mci.h 1.16 mci_curs.c 1.20 mci_frfl.c 1.7 mcinit.c 1.23 mcline.c 1.39 mclisten.c 1.17 sendimage.c 1.4 svfutil.c 1.15 In 2017.2, McIDAS-X was expanded to use a maximum of 9999 frames in a session. There were additional changes needed to address larger amounts of shared memory. Now users can use more frames on machines with sufficient memory. 16501 abincalb.inc 1.7 A fix was made in the ABIN calibration modules to properly define minimum and maximum values for L2 ABI products as real values instead of integers. 16497 grdlist.pgm 1.94 The GRDLIST command help was updated to describe that the usage of the FORM=FILE keyword is valid only for McIDAS GRID files. 16492 abinadir.cp 1.16 abinaget.cp 1.35 abincalb.inc 1.8 CORE.SAT 1.27 isenhstr.for 1.11 isir.for 1.57 kbxabin.dlm 1.22 MCSTRETCH.TXT 1.9 SATANNOT 1.46 SATBAND 1.101 This inquiry updates McIDAS-X for GOES-17, including system files, MCSTRETCH and calibration modules. The GOES-16 subpoint correction was also made in the ABIN servers for the upcoming data stream change. 16485 GLM.CORE 1.12 glmdisp.pgm 1.36 glmlist.pgm 1.27 The preliminary status of GLMDISP and GLMLIST has been removed. The format of the commands has been updated along with the ability to choose between GOES-16 (EAST) and GOES-17 (WEST) when displaying GLM data. For the 2018.1 release, GLM.CORE will by default point to EAST data servers only. An updated GLM.CORE will be released when GOES-17 becomes the operational WEST satellite and will be able to use both satellites in the appropriate domains. 16484 wwdisp.c 1.121 wwlist.c 1.61 wwmisc.c 1.92 Many updates were made to the WWDISP and WWLIST commands to display and list weather watches and warnings correctly. Code was updated to better handle cancellations, updates, and changes in weather statements. 16472 msgtaget2.for 1.42 msgtutil.for 1.24 nvxmsgt.dlm 1.9 The MSG servers were updated to carry along new flag in MSG data (implemented in December 2017) in the McIDAS navigation block and apply the correction to pre-December 2017 imagery. 16447 GLM.CORE 1.8 glmdisp.pgm 1.34 glmlist.pgm 1.26 Improved error checking and documentation was made to the GLMDISP and GLMLIST commands. 16446 glmdisp.pgm 1.25 The GLMDISP command now labels the frame more informatively and has a new keyword, TOPLABEL=, to specify the title on the graphics frame. 16444 STNDB.CORE 1.95 This inquiry contains station updates contained in station database file, STNDB.CORE. 16443 USZONE.MAP 1.26 USZONE.MAP was updated with the latest changes in NWS Zones. 16441 DCSYN 1.8 The DCSYN schema was updated for the ability to decode and file hourly synoptic reports correctly in McIDAS-XCD. 16438 mcwrite.c 1.15 The McIDAS-X module mcwrite.c was updated to allow McIDAS-XCD servers to create sufficiently sized text files to contain all data within one day. Previously some data from the beginning of the day was being overwritten. 16436 aboutgui.gui 1.36 dsserve.pgm 1.93 license.txt 1.7 lv1baget.cp 1.47 makefile 1.349 mcinst.sh 1.143 mcntinst.sh 1.28 VERSION.TXT 1.109 XRD.TXT 1.22 Updated system files, helps, and copyrights for 2018.1. 16408 GEODATA.CORE 1.25 The GEO command's context file, GEODATA.CORE, has been updated to use GOES-16 servers for the operational EAST satellite. 16401 wxtlist.c 1.26 The CASEMATCH= keyword has been added to WXTLIST to add the ability to do case-sensitive and case-insensitive searches with the MATCH= keyword. The default is case-insensitive. 16397 odtmcerror.c 1.6 odtmcidas.c 1.10 Added an error code to detect if GOES-16 or GOES-17 data is being used. ADT isn't compatible with GOES-16 or GOES-17 for McIDAS-X 2018.1. 16387 abinparm.h 1.7 The ABIN servers were updated to correctly display Meso sector L2 product files. 16383 wwdisp.c 1.114 wwlist.c 1.62 The WWDISP and WWLIST commands were updated to handle the discontinuation of blizzard watches on 02 Oct 2017. The blizzard watch display option remains for archived data. 16223 STNDB.CORE 1.96 The station database file, STNDB.CORE, was updated with the correct latitude for station CSM. 16196 grib2func.c 1.35 A new level designation, HTFL (highest tropospheric freezing level), was added to the GRIB servers. Tropopause levels with the HTFL designation are now properly labeled "TRO HTFL" instead of being incorrectly labeled "TRO RSRV". 16148 SATANNOT 1.45 SATBAND 1.100 SATBAND and SATANNOT were updated with JPSS-1 through JPSS-4 (NOAA 20-23) satellite information including SS numbers and band information. 15985 dist.pgm 1.49 The DIST command was updated to display distances with more precision. The FORMAT= keyword was added and defaults to F7.1. 15979 dsserve.pgm 1.95 kbxscmi.dlm 1.1 scmicalb.inc 1.1 XRD.TXT 1.21 Support was added for NOAAPORT Sectorized Cloud and Moisture Imagery (SCMI) images. The SCMI servers were added to McIDAS-XRD, and this inquiry adds the calibration information to core McIDAS-X. 15693 navdisp.c 1.22 pacorb.c 1.16 usaorb.c 1.14 NAVDISP, PACORB, and USAORB commands were reverted to previous versions. No functional changes will be noticed by the users. 15663 m0wwmisc.h 1.30 wwdisp.c 1.122 wwmisc.c 1.91 WWDISP was updated to plot the defined polygons for flood warnings, flood watches, severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings. The PLOT=COUNTY keyword was updated to plot counties for these statements when specified (the default is to plot polygons when they are defined in the weather statements). 15325 DCISFC 1.6 STNDB.CORE 1.99 Two new sources of information were used to update the station database file, STNDB.CORE. These two sources are http://www.nws.noaa.gov/ndm/ (AWIPS National Database Maintenance) and http://weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/stations.txt.
