Hyrax 1.10 release and OpenDAP on GitHub

[James Gallagher]

Greetings!

We have released a new version of Hyrax (1.10) that contains an important security fix (thanks to NASA LARC!) and some new features for sites serving data stored in HDF4 and HDF5. Goto http://www.opendap.org/download/hyrax/1.10 for this release.

HDF4
• Added support for geo-location cache for HDF-EOS2 products.
• Implement an option not to pass file ids for the compatibility with NcML.
• Performance tuning for DDS/DAS builds
• Support the mapping of vgroup and HDF-EOS2 swath/grid object(vgroup-like) attributes to DAP.
HDF5
• Implement an option not to pass file ids for the compatibility with NcML.
• Add CF support for NASA GPM, OBPG l3m and MOPITT level 3 products.

The BES framework and OLFS have several small fixes and improvements as do the netCDF, TIFF and XML response generators.

Also newsworthy is that the sources for Hyrax (libdap, BES and all of the modules delivered as part of our standard distribution) are now available from https://github.com/opendap.

Thanks,
James
