[Nathan Potter]

Greetings,

OPeNDAP is pleased to announce the release of Hyrax version 1.12.2. Source an binaries are now available on our Hyrax release page:

http://www.opendap.org/download/hyrax/1.12

In this release you will find the following new features and Bug fixes.

- - - New Features - - -

• Multi-Homed Support Specify the host ip to which to bind the BES in a multi-homed system.

• JoinExisting aggregations can now be configured to cache their member dataset dimensions. This cache provides a roughly 2 order of magnitude improvement in metadata response times and a similar improvement in the time until transmit start for data requests spanning many member datasets. This is in addition to the JoinNew improvements made with the previous release.

- - - Bug Fixes - - -

fileout_netcdf
• Fixed problem with "_FillValue type mismatch" issues as reported by our NASA partners.

ncml_handler
• The "Too Many Open Files" problem is fixed.
• New attributes now have a default type of string unless otherwise specified.
• The NcML parser no longer objects to the presence of a schemaLocation attribute in NcML documents.

DAP4
• The DMR now works with 8-bit integers (Int8).
• The getdap application now finds variables in non-root groups.

besdaemon
• Improved Signal Handling - The BES was failing to correctly catch the SIGPIPE signal which was causing the BES to run amok when either the OLFS or a remote client broke its connection (to either the BES or the OLFS). This was the infamous 'runaway BES' bug.

​cache
• We have refactored the way that the various caches are utilized in order to avoid unexpected configuration collisions between the caches. The file decompression cache is now named explicitly in the BES configuration and the use of the BES.CacheDir, BES.CacheSize, and BES.CachePrefix BES configuration keys has been retired. These keys have been replaced with configuration keys specific to each of the caches.



NOTE: If you are updating an existing Hyrax installation please carefully review the installation details for this release:
