AWIPS 18.2.1-1 is a major update to both EDEX and CAVE (on Windows, MacOS, and Centos7/RHEL7). The linux awips_install.sh script has been updated to remove old versions of CAVE and EDEX before installing new versions and backup some /awips2 configuration files.

AWIPS 18.1.1-5 is a major update to both CAVE and EDEX, including a security update to the latest httpd/mod_wsgi packages.

• EDEX administrators should be aware that localization levels have changed, and Unidata AWIPS no longer supports REGION, DESK, or WORKSTATION levels.
• EDEX administrators should be aware that USER-level localization names have been merged with the WORKSTATION name, that is, what used to be USER awips will now be USER awips@<workstation name>.
• It may be required that EDEX admins migrate saved USER procedures and bundles to the new naming system, which may be tedious, but is necessary for use of CAVE in a classroom and lab setting going forward. This update prevents users from overwriting each other's customizations if they happen to have the same username.

Unidata AWIPS 17.1.1-6 is a minor release with the following changes:

• WarnGen bug fixes: for practice sessions, the WarnGen app no longer uses JMS to send/verify messages between client and server, instead sending the generated message directly to a TextWS window for editing, keeping everything client-side.
• postgis update to 2.4.4 to fix segfault signal 11 when WarnGen requests EDEX PostgreSQL to create coverage area geometries.
• geos update to 3.6.2.
• gdal update to 2.2.4.
• proj update to 5.1.0.
• postgresql and psql update to 9.5.13 to account for new versions of postgis, gdal, and proj, and to remove the geos dependency.
• shapely update to 1.6.4 after geos dep update to 3.6.2.
• NCP Resource Manager cleanup of unused resources (Linux only).
• Removed NSHARP D2D dependency on PGEN shapes.
