Version 5.6

The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 5.6 release was announced on January 22nd, 2024. his release contains a number of fixes for user-reported problems, as well as several upgrades to third party libraries. For details on TDS 5, and tips on how to migrate from version 4, please visit https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/tds/5.6/userguide/upgrade.html.

Important information about this release

1. TDS v5.6 moved from Spring v5 to v6, and as a result, the TDS now requires the use of Java 17 and a Jakarta EE 9+ compatible servlet container (e.g. Tomcat 10).
2. The move to Java 17 requires the use of additional JVM options to allow for the chronicle-map dependency to work properly. Please see the example setEnv.sh contents in the TDS documentation.
3. The version of edal-java used by the TDS has been updated. This dependency implements the WMS service provided by the TDS. The edal-java update includes an update to one of its 3rd party dependencies in which the existing coordinate transform database may be incompatible with the new release. If this is the case, the TDS will fail to start after the upgrade, and the stacktrace in the log files will hint at a possible h2 database incompatibility. To fix this issue, you will need to remove the ${tds.content.root.path}/hredds/cache/edal-java/epsg/.h2 directory.
