Hi Terry,

4.5.3 was unusual in that we wanted to make a release of NetCDF-Java but
not THREDDS, because there were some lingering issues with it, such as
DAP4. For simplicity, we keep their version numbers synchronized (and
indeed, they live in the same source code repository). Unfortunately, there
was a mistake and THREDDS 4.5.3 was released anyway.

To be clear, the current development release of THREDDS that we're
supporting is 4.5.2 [1]. Please use that. We'll get the links on the
THREDDS website fixed ASAP.

Release notes for 4.5 can be found here: [2]. They also appear in announce
emails that we send to the "thredds" and "netcdf-java" mailing lists when
we release new versions.

Our issue tracker: [3].

We certainly encourage our users to explore the THREDDS source code, and
possibly contribute fixes or features. If you have git and maven installed,
building the source is straight-forward:

git clone git://github.com/Unidata/thredds.git thredds
cd thredds
git checkout 4.5.4
mvn install

Cheers,
Christian
