Dapper Release Notes

Dapper Administration Guide

Version 2.00

Added aggregation capability for DChart and Dapper. netCDF data can be aggregated via local file access, OPeNDAP, or HTTP.
Many changes to support gridded datasets in DChart
Added OPeNDAP proxying. Dapper can optionally be configured to translates data from any netCDF file that is available via HTTP to the OPeNDAP protocol. This allows users to use OPeNDAP to access data from servers that don't have an installed OPeNDAP server by appending the URL for the data to a Dapper URL.

The CDP server is no more -- it is now integrated in Dapper and Dapper no longer uses CORBA to access profile or time series data.
DChart datasets can now be categorized.
netCDF character variables are now automatically converted to Dapper attributes. Added -vtoa [true|false] to dapperload.sh to control this conversion.
Zip or JAR files can be used to store Dapper profile or time series files.
Google Earth output is available as a download type.
Zoom/pan controls added to DChart plots.
A permanent link to a DChart page that stores map, dataset, and variable parameters available through the new "Link to this Page" button in the DChart user interface.
