LDM Version 6.4.1
now available for download

Version 6.4.1 of the LDM package is now available. Installation instructions can be found at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.4.1 under the heading "Download, Installation, and Configuration".

The "Change Log" and "Release Notes" files can be found by going to the GForge webpages of the LDM Project at

http://gforge.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/ldm/

Click on the appropriate book icon in the "Latest File Releases" section. The files CHANGE_LOG and RELEASE_NOTES also exist in the top-level source-directory of the source-code distribution.

This version includes the following new features:

• Support for using a port other than 388.
• Automatic switching between primary and alternate transfer-mode by
  downstream LDM-s -- making failovers a thing of the past!
• Configurable filtering of data-products by upstream LDM-s.
• Support for more than 9 "back references" in string-substitutions of
  pqact(1) configuration-file.
• Encoding of MD5 signature in FEEDME requests to prevent data-loss.

Because of the last feature above, a downstream LDM will work best if the upstream LDM is also version 6.4.
