    Here are the twenty slides used for a recent Ignite talk given at the Summer ESIP meeting. The text of the talk is embedded in the slides as notes. OPULS is a joint project between OPeNDAP and Unidata that is developing the successor to DAP2, known as DAP4.

    Release 1.8.3 of Hyrax is for the HDF5 handler rewrite. The HDF Group, under a grant from NASA, have completed a major rewrite of the HDF5 handler for Hyrax. The new software no longer uses compile-time switches; instead it now uses a small set of run-time options. This means one binary distribution is all anyone needs and everyone can experiment with the new features. In short, the new features enable the software to read many more HDF5 files than before and to render them as CF-compliant data.
