LDM version 6.6.0 released

[Steve Emmerson]

Dear LDM user,

Version 6.6.0 of the LDM is now available from

      http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm

or

      ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/ldm/ldm-6.6.0.tar.gz

(Note the change in compression-format).

The new feature in this release is the improved startup performance of
downstream LDM-s through the use of "last product received" files in the
LDM user's home-directory.  This feature will greatly improve the
startup performance of LDM systems with many REQUEST entries (such as in
the TIGGE and SCOOP projects).

The complete release notes for this version are attached.

Unless there's a crisis or I have a brainstorm, there will probably not
be much further LDM development for a while because of other demands on
my time.  So if you were waiting for things to settle down before
installing the latest LDM, then now might be a good time.  I'll
understand, however, if you wait a while to see if version 6.6.1 is
released.  :-)

Questions or comments should be sent to <support-ldm at unidata.ucar.edu>.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
LDM Developer

P.S.  Information on the TIGGE and SCOOP projects can be found at
<http://tigge.ucar.edu> and <http://scoop.sura.org>, respectively.
