THREDDS Data Server v5.0.0 beta 9

Version 5.0.0-beta9

The THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 5.0.0-beta9 release was announced on September 1st, 2021. This is a beta release and includes many bug fixes, enhancements, and a variety of updates to 3rd party libraries which include security updates. For details on TDS 5, please visit https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/tds/5.0/adminguide/release_notes.html.

Important information about this release

1. This is the first release of the TDS version 5 that is "feature complete" with the TDS version 4.6.x. Note, that does not mean it is bug free, just feature complete (for example, the functionality of wmsConfig.xml should work with the new WMS server included with TDS 5).
2. This is anticipated to be the last beta release of TDS 5. Based on feedback, the TDS 5 could be marked stable in as little as two weeks.
3. TDS v5 now requires the use of Java 11 at a minimum. We recommend the Temurin binaries from the Eclipse Adoptium project (formerly known as AdoptOpenJDK). These can be obtained from https://adoptium.net/.

Versioning

Prior to version 5, the netCDF-Java/CDM library and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS) have been built and released together. Starting with version 5, these two packages have been decoupled, allowing new features or bug fixes to be implemented in each package separately, and released independently.
