Hi, having issues with some minor localization. For example, modifying the
radar mosaic list file radarsInUse.txt results in no change on the CAVE
clients. Prior it could be modified and it would recreate the menus.
has the location been changed? I found 3 of these and modified them all, no joy.
Is level2 supported in this release?
Thanks for the great work!

> - NCEP/Hydro and Upper Air menus now available in D2D
> - D2D single-pane default perspective, toggleable to 5-pane "classic" view.
> - NCP resources can now be loaded directly from the D2D perspective, making

> - Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor (MRMS) full support for decoding and displaying
> gzipped grib2 files from NSSL.
> - Support for decoding and displaying USPLN lightning data.
