Hi Sean-It looks like thredds.ucar.edu is working again for bundles, however I have a question about the new catalog entries.
From the IDV catalog chooser, I don't see a "Latest" entry that works. For example, if I select the:
Latest Reference Time Collection for GFS-CONUS 80km-CONUS 80kmAll I get is a single time and when I try to load that, I get an error. How do I get the "Latest" under TDS 4.5 like I could in all previous versions?
Also, each model grid shows up as a catalog and in that folder is a single entry for the file. It seems like things are getting more complicated rather than easier.

Greetings! The TDS server thredds.ucar.edu has been updated to version 4.5. Part of the move is related to security concerns raised over the past month, and part is due to the unreliability of GRIB collections to update properly in the old version (4.3.21). There are also several improvements and bugfixes in 4.5. For the IDV, this update will mostly improve access to GRIB data served from Unidata (no more "permission denied" issues, no more stale files, etc.). Bundles ======= Bundles that use thredds.ucar.edu should not be impacted, as the urls to the latest and best time series files/collections are the same. None of the variable names should have changed, unless it is due to an updated GRIB-1/2 table. Browsing thredds.ucar.edu ========================= You may notice a few differences in the way data are displayed. Some of them are temporary (such as datasets being listed from oldest to newest - this will be reversed asap), while others not. For example, there is a new dataset listed under GRIB collections called "Full Collection (Reference / Forecast Time) Dataset". This dataset contains two time coordinates, and allows for slicing and dicing similar to the "constant forecast offset" and "constant forecast hour" from the older, deprecated FMRCs. Currently, the IDV cannot take advantage of these collections, but we hope to enable them in the near future. If you have any questions, or run into any bugs, please contact support-idv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or support-thredds.unidata.ucar.edu. Cheers! Sean
