Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

You might think "Why didnt we find these problems before releasing?" Because we dont have a separate test team, like commercial software release cycle does. We constantly improve our testing, but plenty gets past us. We rely on the users to find the last set of bugs. And its all but impossible to get users to try beta software. Fact of life.
In this case, you did not rely on the users to find the bugs before you released the software. With the transition from 4.2 to 4.3, you set up a test server, allowed ample time to have users find the problems so you could fix them before making the change. It seems that this would have been prudent in this case as well.
The variable names have not changed. The bundles will still work. We are fixing the ones that Darryl discovered had changed.
They have changed. As I pointed out on Monday, in this bundle: http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/repository/entry/get/gfs-nh-sh.xidv?entryid=d178fe25-5bfd-40cf-930d-960adcbe3d30 the U and V wind variables have changed when pointed to 4.5 on thredds-test.
