v4.6.8
Version 4.6.8
The NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library and THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 4.6.8 were released on January 6th, 2017. These are stable releases, and as such, the development team recommends these upgrades to anyone using the CDM or TDS.
Note that this release contains a critical fix for users who read or serve GRIB2 files that utilize tables from NCEP v4.6.7 was released last week(January 3rd, 2017). There are two other bug fixes in this release (see the Changes section below). All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release even if they recently upgraded to v4.6.7..
The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) is 100% Java, open source, and runs as a Tomcat web server application. TDS data serving capabilities are built on top of Unidata's netCDF-Java / CDM library. The CDM data model combines the NetCDF-3, DAP2, and HDF5 data models, into what is called the Common Data Model (CDM). It has a pluggable "I/O Service Provider" architecture that allows it to read various file formats into the CDM, including NetCDF, HDF5, GRIB, NEXRAD levels 2 and 3, and others, as well as datasets served through the OPeNDAP protocol. The TDS then builds data services on top of the CDM.
