AWIPS Tips: AWIPS Full Beta Release v23.4.1-0.3

25 July 2024

Welcome back to AWIPS Tips!

AWIPS 23.4.1-0.3 is a beta release, with both EDEX and CAVE installation options. This release includes a major upgrade for the operating system, running on Rocky 8 Linux – which is a free Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution.

This release is still in beta since the National Weather Service is still working on their 23.4.1 release to operations and does not have full functionality. Users will have the option of installing their own EDEX with this version, or continue to connect to Unidata's public EDEX (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu).
