Version 6.12.6 of the LDM has been released.

Besides supporting the new NOAAPORT channels (like version 6.12.5) this version understands how to handle HRRR and ESTOFS data-products that will soon be added to the NOAAPORT broadcast.

Support for two additional channels will be added for the GOES-R satellite sometime before it's launched (currently scheduled for the second quarter of 2016).

Additional information about this release is available on the LDM 6.12.6 page. You can find a link to the source download area on the main LDM page.

LDM 6.11.7 Released

04 April 2014

Version 6.11.7 of the LDM has been released. It fixes a bug that caused the NOAAPORT ingest component to crash.

Here's the story:

The NOAAPORT Satellite Broadcast System contains a lot of GRIB-2 messages. Such messages require external tables in order to be interpreted. The NOAAPORT ingest component of the LDM uses the tables that come with GEMPAK to interpret GRIB-2 messages in order to generate meaningful LDM product-identifiers. Unfortunately, not all tables are complete and creators of GRIB-2 messages are free to add data for which no corresponding table-entry exists.

LDM 6.11.6 Released

24 June 2013

Version 6.11.6 of the LDM has been released. Continuing the trend of version 6.11.5, this version doesn't have the PNG or ZLIB packages bundled-in -- and for the same reasons: bundling is no longer necessary, security is enhanced by removing them, and the size of the LDM package is reduced. You must have the PNG and ZLIB development packages installed in order to build this version of the LDM.

LDM 6.11.5 Released

10 May 2013

Version 6.11.5 of the LDM has been released. This version doesn't have the "libxml2" package bundled-in; consequently, the "libxml2" development package must be installed on the host system before the LDM package can be built. The development package is necessary because the runtime package doesn't have the required header-files (development packages usually have the word "devel" in their name). If you're using version 6.11.4 of the LDM, have not encountered any problems with it, and don't care which "libxml2" package the LDM uses, then there's no need to upgrade to LDM 6.11.5.
