As part of Unidata's ongoing commitment towards making our software
community driven, and to make collaborative development easier and more
transparent, we have moved the THREDDS/CDM source repository, starting
with version 4.3, to Github:
https://github.com/Unidata/thredds
(see
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/reference/Git.html for
more information on downloading and building from source).
Our issue tracking system is now public at:
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/CDM
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/TDS
We also have maven builds for CDM and are looking into providing maven
builds for the TDS, as well as updating to maven central. We will also
shortly announce new ways to give feedback and ask questions, and other
things to foster open development.
Let us know if these changes are useful or not, plus any other ideas you
have!

Meanwhile, we have a pre-alpha version of the development branch of
Netcdf-Java, version 4.3.2 now released as jar files from the usual place:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/documentation.htm
We would appreciate if you are able to use this version in any
non-production setting and can give us feedback. In particular, we would
like to debug GRIB handling and GRIB table use.
New Features in 4.3:
* Complete rewrite of the GRIB-1 and GRIB-2 libraries, including
table use.
* Arbitrary collections of GRIB files can be combined into a single
logical dataset.
* Support for non-standard calendars and time coordinates using the
joda-time library
* Support for client side certificates in OPeNDAP
* Improvements on projection handling
* Modules have been refactored to remove circular dependencies
Notes:
* FMRC not quite ready for use in 4.3
thanks!
