ERDDAP Project Recent Changes

[chris.john]

Hello ERDDAP users,

There have been a few recent changes that I wanted to make everyone aware of. The first is I've created a new ERDDAP-announce list. As with the old list, the primary purpose of the list will be to notify of new ERDDAP releases. I did migrate the old announcement list to the new system. The new system is self-service for subscribing/unsubscribing from the list. The list is here

https://groups.google.com/g/erddap-announce/ if you want to check or change your settings.

The second significant change is the location of the ERDDAP repo. We have a new GitHub organization at https://github.com/ERDDAP. The main ERDDAP repo is now at https://github.com/ERDDAP/erddap.

The third change is only relevant to those who modify the source code for ERDDAP. I've removed the code dependencies and several large static files from the repo. I updated the Maven integration to load the dependencies and the static files. This change does mean you will need to use Maven now as part of development, but hopefully, the automation Maven can bring will simplify development overall. I also updated the git history to remove these large binary files. Any active forks should do a git rebase before making pull requests.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of this.

Chris
