Greetings,

LDM 6.12.6 is now available.

Besides supporting the new NOAAPORT channels (like version 6.12.5) this
version understands how to handle HRRR and ESTOFS data-products that will
soon be added to the NOAAPORT broadcast.

Support for two additional channels will be added for the GOES-R satellite
sometime before it's launched (currently scheduled for the second quarter
of 2016).

Here's the top of the CHANGE_LOG file with entries for the last two LDM
versions:

6.12.6  2014-09-04T13:56:41-0600
    pqcreate(1):
        Changed the assumed mean product size (which is used to compute the
        default number of slots in the product-queue) from 4096 to 51000
        bytes to better match current reality.

    NOAAPORT:
        Enhanced GRIB2 decoding by adding "ESTOFS" and "HRRR" model codes for
        the NCEP "center".

6.12.5  2014-08-21T13:57:50-0600
    Installation:
        Added (untested) support for syslog-ng(8) as the system logging daemon
        rather than rsyslog(8) or syslog(8).

    NOAAPORT:
        Added port numbers for the two new channels that are part of the
        NOAAPORT SBN upgrade.

    Documentation:
        Removed from the HTML documentation, links to the web pages that listed
        successful and unsuccessful build environments because the information
        was hopelessly out of date, difficult to maintain, and labor intensive.
