Greetings LDM user,

Version 6.13.12 of the LDM has been released and may be obtained through
the LDM's home-page <https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/>.

The Release Notes
<https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/ldm/ldm-current/CHANGE_LOG> detail
the modifications. Perhaps the most important are the following:

   - The use of the IS_ALIVE protocol message has been replaced with a
   fixed, 5 minute timeout.
   - The logging level for products that are not inserted into the product
   queue because they are either too old or were not requested has been
   changed from INFO to WARN in order to raise the visibility of this issue.
   - A bug in the use of the pqact(1) state-file (which indicates the
   insertion-time of the last, successfully-processed product) has been fixed.
   - pqact(1) PIPE and FILE actions that have not been used in 6 hours are
   now removed from the set of active actions and their file descriptors are
   closed. This has greatly reduced the time it takes to shut down the LDM
   system for those instances doing local processing with many such actions
   lacking the "-close" option.
   - Thread-creation within noaaportIngester(1) has been modified to
   prevent the program from immediately terminating if the (optional) RHEL
   Insights Client package has been installed and prevents a thread from being
   created with a high priority. In this case the thread will execute with
   normal priority and the risk of missing NOAAPort packets will increase.

If you have any issues with this or any other LDM version, please notify <
support-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gilbert Sebenste for his
willingness to test this new version.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
LDM Developer
