05 Apr 2016 fastrack2016.1_changes.txt This file contains the list of McIDAS-X version 2016.1 modules that were changed since the previous release (version 2015.2). 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 The changes in the two inquiries below (16100 and 16098) were included in the McIDAS-X for Unix 2016.l tar file (mcidas2016.1.tar.Z) available at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/x/fastrack2016.1_unix.html beginning at 20:00 UTC 05 April 2016. The tar file was updated to fix a problem on Unix (only) workstations where the McIDAS-X 2016.1 build failed at zlib on some Linux workstations (giving a "Can't find or link to the z library" error). 16100 makefile 1.334 The McIDAS installation was updated to fix a problem with the zlib library dependencies and headers being listed in incorrect locations, which affected compilation of the NetCDF library and dependent servers. 16098 makefile 1.335 The McIDAS installation was updated to run “make install” for the zlib library, which will install static and shared libraries into the “lib/“ subdirectory. The changes in the inquiry below (16092) were included in the McIDAS-X for Win7 2016.1 tar file (mcidas2016.1_win7.tar.gz) available at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/x/fastrack2016.1_win7.html beginning at 14:15 UTC 21 March 2016. The tar file was updated to fix a problem on Windows (only) workstations where local servers that use the netCDF and HDF5 libraries (LV1B, ABIN, GRIB, IND*) were not working because the static libraries were not built into the McIDAS-X for Win7 binaries. 16092 DMake.unix 1.57 dmakefiles.pl 1.165 The Windows7 release package was updated with binaries that have the netCDF/HDF5 static libraries built into them, and include those shared libraries. The changes in the 11 inquiries below were included in these McIDAS-X 2016.1 tar files: - McIDAS-X for Unix 2016.1 tar file (mcidas2016.1.tar.Z) available at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/x/fastrack2016.1_unix.html between 22 Feb 2016 and 05 Apr 2016. - McIDAS-X for Win7 2016.1 tar file (mcidas2016.1_win7.tar.gz) available at http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/x/fastrack2016.1_win7.html between 22 Feb 2016 and 21 Mar 2016. Modules released 17-Feb-16 in version 2016.1 -------------------------------------------- 16051 m0ptbuf.for 1.7 In a previous inquiry (15428), checks were added to exclude missing values from contour analyses. There was a small correction to the logic to correctly interpret missing data in math calculations and contouring. 16043 omtpadir2.for 1.4 omtpaget2.for 1.7 The McIDAS-XRD OMTP servers were fixed to write out the correct value for the starting image time in McIDAS-X version 2015.2. The OMTP servers now add "corrected time" in the AREA file's memo field, and the start scan value is 1 when the corrected time is used. 16033 USCOUNTY.MAP 1.29 USZONE.MAP 1.24 Some zones and counties, especially those with waterways for boundaries, were not being rendered correctly with the latest versions of the NWS shapefiles. Our map processing scripts were adjusted, and new versions of USZONE.MAP and USCOUNTY.MAP are included in this release. 16027 wwmisc.c 1.52 VTEC messages from the NWS were not being properly decoded in McIDAS-X. Recently flood warnings were changed to be mixed-case instead of all upper case. The code now recognizes this, and all flood warnings are listed and plotted in WWLIST and WWDISP. 16024 imgparm.pgm 1.12 IMGPARM checks if an orbit is LEO and if the data is local. During this check a file was not being closed afterward. Subsequent commands that read this file were not correct. This behavior has been fixed. 16022 aboutgui.gui 1.32 license.txt 1.5 makefile 1.333 mcinst.sh 1.139 VERSION.TXT 1.103 wwlist.c 1.39 XRD.TXT 1.16 Updated system files for 2016.1. 16016 msgtadir2.for 1.14 msgtaget2.for 1.35 The MSGT servers were updated to handle Meteosat-11 HRIT data. 16010 LEODATA.CORE 1.17 Update LEODATA.CORE to no longer include NOAA16, which has been decommissioned. 15946 abinadir.cp 1.5 abinaget.cp 1.8 build-dmakefiles.pl 1.162 CORE.SAT 1.23 dsserve.pgm 1.88 kbxabin.dlm 1.7 mcgetscantime.for 1.9 nvxabin.dlm 1.4 SATBAND 1.90 First release of the GOES-R ABI servers that use the mission-standard Level 1b files in netCDF-4 format, like those from NOAA CLASS or from the GRB data stream after they've been decoded with CSPP Geo or other software. 15932 build-dmakefiles.pl 1.164 CORE.SAT 1.24 dsserve.pgm 1.88 imgcopy.pgm 1.127 kbxwarc.dlm 1.4 mcgetscantime.for 1.8 SATANNOT 1.40 SATBAND 1.91 warcadir.cp 1.1 warcadir2.for 1.4 warcaget.cp 1.1 warcaget2.for 1.6 First release of the HimawariCast HRIT servers that use the JMA standard (segmented or combined) HRIT format. 15089 modx.h 1.16 IMGPROBE commands were not finding data for certain lat/lon points for MODIS SST products. The navigation factors in modx.h were updated to correctly determine the lat/lon of a pixel.
