[awips2-users] Unidata AWIPS 17.1.1 Released

Unidata AWIPS 17.1.1 is now available for Red Hat/CentOS 6/7 and macOS.
Please see the AWIPS User Manual for installation instructions:
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/

This is a major release with the following notable updates:

* Support for *GOES-16(R) *ingest and display of provisional ABI imagery
via the NOTHER feed (1km CONUS, PR, Mesoscale sectors, 6km Full Disk). For
this a new GOES East Full Disk map scale has been added to D2D
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/goes-16-satellite/
* Support for GOES-16(R) *GLM *(Geostationary Lightning Mapper) data as it
begins to come online - glm data are not currently being ingested but will
be added to edex-cloud as Unidata begins to test distribution feeds
internally. http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/goes-16-satellite/
#goes-lightning-mapper-glm
* *WarnGEN* and *TextWS* have been refactored to work for any and all WFO
sites, with CWA geometries pre-generated in the build.  I've made available
a document and screencast walkthrough for using WarnGen to create (but not
send) warning products: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/warngen/
* The *NSHARP* plugin is now written entirely in Java, no longer dependent
on legacy NAWIPS/GEMPAK libraries.
* The *macOS* CAVE client includes a dependency for *Jep* (Java-embedded
Python) in order to display derived parameters such as wind barbs and grid
parameters on various vertical coordinates. See more:
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/#macos
* The Manual Ingest Endpoint has been moved from
*/awips2/edex/data/hdf5/manual *to */awips2/data_store/ingest* to allow for
manual file ingest on an nfs-mounted raw data store.
* *LDM* pattern actions added for TPCWindProb, RTOFS, Sea Ice, CFS-DNG,
NAEFS.
* 3-way right-click toggle in CAVE to cycle the resource stack through
displaying Products, Maps, and Current Time.
* Java 1.8 update, Python 2.7.11 update.


Migrating from 16.2.2 to 17.1.1:

* It's recommended you remove 16.2.2 EDEX and CAVE before installing
17.1.1, rather than upgrading with yum (e.g. *yum groupremove awips2-server
-y && yum clean all && ./installEDEX.sh*)
* *edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu <http://edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu/>* was
updated to 17.1.1 on Friday July 7 and all user-level localization files
were copied and restored after the update.  I've also added some access
protection
* The macOS client is now delivered as a single .app bundle and is
developer-signed by UCAR, meaning you should be able to download, install,
and open without any warning or error about its origin (gatekeeper in 10.12
Sierra).
* The *awips-python-jep.pkg *installer for macOS will warn you about its
origin.  You can right-click select Open on a Mac in order to install (CAVE
will run without this package but any derived parameters require it).


Known Issues:

* GOES-16(R) RGB composites are not supported on macOS due to OpenGL
Shading Language limitations.
* SVG-based plot models (METAR station plot) will not render correctly with
jogamp 2 on Mac.
* I have been unable to successfully build 17.1.1 CAVE for Windows and can
not promise a new Windows client any time soon.


Support:

* See the AWIPS User Manual for download links and installation instructions
http://unidata.github.io/awips2/
* Send support requests to Unidata developers at support-awips@xxxxxxxxxxxx.
