Hi Rich,
There will not be a stable release of 4.4 - see John's release
announcement below. Let us know if you have any questions!
Cheers!

Hi all:
We will make a release of version 4.5.0 (beta) next week, and it will
require Java 7.
We are making the 4.5 branch our development branch, and will not
release a stable version of 4.4. Instead, we will make 4.5 the stable
release as soon as possible.
There are some changes you will need to make to THREDDS startup scripts
and catalogs, please see:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/thredds/v4.5/tds/UpgradingTo4.5.html
Java 6 is at end-of-life, and is no longer being updated, please see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
So you should upgrade to Java 7 everywhere you use Java in all
circumstances. Java 8 is also waiting in the wings.
For overview of new features, see:

thanks!
The THREDDS Team

Greetings!
The TDS server thredds.ucar.edu <http://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 <http://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 <http://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
<http://support-thredds.unidata.ucar.edu>.
Cheers!
Sean
