v5.0.0-beta8
Pre-release
THREDDS Data Server beta 8
Version 5.0.0-beta8
This release addresses a critical bug in both the netCDF-Java library and the THREDDS Data Server. The TDS NetcdfSubsetService uses DiskCache2 and any requests in which the return format is netCDF (3 or 4) could be impacted by the bug. THIS BUG MAY LEAD TO DATA CORRUPTION OR FILES WITH INCORRECT DATA AND/OR METADATA. For more information, please see DiskCache2 Issue in netCDF-Java Library. Because of this, it is strongly recommended that anyone running previous SNAPSHOT or beta versions of the TDS upgrade to beta8.
The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 5.0.0-beta8 release was announced on June 17th, 2020. This is a beta release and includes many bug fixes, enhancements, and a variety of updates to 3rd party libraries which include security updates. For details on TDS 5, please visit https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/tds/5.0/userguide/upgrade_to_5.html.
Versioning
Prior to version 5, the netCDF-Java/CDM library and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) have been built and released together. Starting with version 5, these two packages have been decoupled, allowing new features or bug fixes to be implemented in each package separately, and released independently.
