ERDDAP™ version v2.26.0 is now available!

[chris.john]

This is the main announcement to the ERDDAP™ Announcements Mailing List. NOAA ERD has been using the new version for several weeks without any problems. I'm now recommending that all ERDDAP™ administrators switch to the new version.

https://github.com/ERDDAP/erddap/releases/tag/v2.26.0

You can read about all of the changes at
https://erddap.github.io/changes.html#version-226

As you might have seen with the above link, our documentation site has changed and some old deep links may no longer work. The new site has built in search functionality, but if that fails you let me know since improving the documentation and the documentation site is important to ERDDAP™. You can check out the new site here: https://erddap.github.io/

Some 2.26 release highlights for administrators:

• New feature to customize the information displayed about datasets in the UI. We expect this to be particularly useful to add things like dataset citations. For more details you can read the new documentation for the feature. Thanks to Ayush Singh for the contribution!
• New way to generate ISO19115 XML files. It uses Apache SIS and is a new option in this release. Please enable it with useSisISO19115=true in your setup.xml and send feedback.
  <useSisISO19115>true</useSisISO19115>
• Additional Prometheus metrics. The biggest one is `http_request_duration_seconds` which includes request response times broken down by: "request_type", "dataset_id", "dataset_type", "file_type", "lang_code", "status_code". This machine readable format will enable better collection of metrics to understand how users are using the server.
• Subscriptions and RSS updates should happen more reliably for datasets that get updated frequently from file changes. If this causes issues, please reach out on GitHub and disable the functionality by adding the updateSubsRssOnFileChanges=false flag to your setup.xml.
  
•  Subset variables will no longer be automatically generated for dataset type EDDTableFromNcCFFiles. If you were relying on the behavior, you can either (prefered solution) add the subsetVariables to the dataset definition in your datasets.xml, or add the includeNcCFSubsetVariables=true flag to your setup.xml. If you feel the need to turn this on, please reach out on GitHub so we can better support your use case moving forward.
  
• The UI will now create individual links for each url in fields like the infoUrl and summary.

This version includes important optimizations, improvements, and changes, including security-related changes (updated libraries), so I strongly encourage you to upgrade. See the instructions at
https://erddap.github.io/docs/server-admin/deploy-update

If you have any problems, questions, or suggestions, please email me.

Thank you for using ERDDAP™.
