This file contains the list of McIDAS-X version 2017.1 modules that were
changed since the previous release (version 2016.2). 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 27-Feb-17 in version 2017.1
     --------------------------------------------
16296 abinaget.cp 1.25
        A GOES-16 ABIN server bug was fixed when using IMGDISP commands
        containing MAG= with LATLON= or STATION= to compare bands of differing
        resolutions.
        
16295 abinaget.cp 1.24
      kbxabin.dlm 1.13
        Updated the ABIN servers to list the correct units with emissive
        radiance values with IMGPROBE, and fixed a code problem that could
        lead to possible calibration errors.

16283 nvxabin.dlm 1.7
        There was a bug with GOES-R navigation that was seen in IMGREMAP with
        GOES-16 first light data. The navigation modules did not account for
        the curvature and limb of the earth correctly and this has been
        corrected.

16263 CORE.SAT 1.26
      isir.for 1.56
      SATANNOT 1.43
      SATBAND 1.96
      wariadir.cp 1.24
      wariaget.cp 1.36
        The Himawari (WARI) servers and associated data files were updated to
        support Himawari-9 data.

16258 kbxwari.dlm 1.10
      wariaget.cp 1.37
        The Himawari satellite can send some pixel values (mainly in the IR
        bands) as an invalid or undefined value that could be due to, for 
        example, the sensor being saturated. When IMGCOPY was used, these 
        pixels would be converted from black (BRIT=0) to white (BRIT=255) 
        in the resultant AREA file. This behavior has been fixed so the 
        pixel's RAW value of 0 and BRIT value of 0 are preserved in the 
        AREA file.

16253 makefile 1.345
      mcxpyinstall.sh 1.3
        -XRD release of the McIDAS-X Python routines that setup a Python
        environment to run McIDAS-X commands in Python scripts.

16237 m0shmget.c 1.9
        The 10.11 OS X and 10.12 MacOS operating systems require a minimum
        shared memory segment to be associated with commands run from mcenv
        or on the command line. A change was made to force these commands to
        set a minimum shared memory segment size to allow these types of
        commands to complete properly on all operating systems.

16234 aboutgui.gui 1.34
      adt.c 1.12
      dsserve.pgm 1.90
      license.txt 1.6
      makefile 1.344
      mcinst.sh 1.141
      mcntinst.sh 1.26
      VERSION.TXT 1.105
      XRD.TXT 1.19
        Updated system files, helps, and copyrights for 2017.1.

16229 wariadir.cp 1.21
      wariaget.cp 1.35
        Support was added to the Himawari (WARI) servers for landmark region
        files.

16215 bar.pgm 1.32
        The BAR command was updated to support new Unidata NEXRAD Level III
        composites in gini format.

16212 SATBAND 1.97
        The central wavelengths of GOES-R ABI bands 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 13
        were updated in SATBAND when listing GOES-R ABI data.

16189 uacross.pgm 1.41
        The labels for the U and V components of the wind were corrected when
        using UACROSS to display these parameters.

16183 imgparm.pgm 1.13
        The IMGPARM command was updated to fail with an informative error for
        satellites it does not support.

16177 nvxabin.dlm 1.6
        The ABIN server navigation modules were modified to improve speed and
        performance. This is especially noticed in the AXFORM and IMGPARM
        commands when used with GOES-R data.

16056 abinadir.cp 1.12
      abinaget.cp 1.22
      abinparm.h 1.6
      imgcopy.pgm 1.128
        The ABIN servers were modified to allow multi-band IMGCOPYs with
        GOES-R Series ABI Level 1b data. Other updates included a fix to
        not separate one image into two with times that are one second apart,
        and to correctly display Southern Hemisphere meso sectors.

16001 OUTLHRES 1.12
        The OUTLHRES map file was fixed to remove duplicate map lines over
        Samoa.

15982 dsserve.pgm 1.91
      GLM_EVENT.cfg 1.1
      GLM_FLASH.cfg 1.1
      GLM_GROUP.cfg 1.1
      ncdfks.cp 1.19
        Preliminary release of the point servers to support the access to
        GOES-R Series netCDF Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) point files
        with the PT* commands. Also included are three new configuration files,
        GLM_EVENT.cfg, GLM_FLASH.cfg, and GLM_GROUP.cfg.
