AWIPS 20.3.2-0.1 is beta release of CAVE for install for Linux and virtual machines (Windows and Linux). We are currently working on a MacOS release.

Not all functionality is available yet, but we wanted to get something out there for people to start playing with and testing. This release is a CAVE only release, with us at Unidata running a version 20.3.2 public EDEX (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu) that you can connect to.

ℹ️ We will still have our version 18.* public EDEX up and available for the foreseeable future, but the version of CAVE you are running has to match the version of EDEX it's connected to.

Major Updates:

  • System upgrade to Python 3.6
  • JAVA upgrade to openJDK 11

Other Updates:

  • Additional multi-pane layouts (2, 9, and 16 panel)
  • Multi-color and line-style contouring (see image above)
  • Faster looping (up to 30 frames per second)
  • Ability to select from the previous 3 runs of a model
  • Additional radar elevation scans below 0.5 degrees
  • Improved Looping Options
  • Enhancements to NSHARP
  • New PGEN tool - PGEN Static
  • Obs Time Batch Basis re-instated
  • New Distance Scale units option
  • New Load as Image and Combine option
  • NSHARP Auto Updates with new model runs
  • Ability to save NSHARP Dislpays
  • Updated SPC Outlook Menus

Functionality/Reporting

This is a beta release, so we are aware that not all functionality is working as expected. We ask you to please be aware of this and have similar expectations. One noteworthy deficiency we are aware of is the radar menu has not been updated yet to reflect what is in version 18. If you come across issues/bugs/missing functionality, we also encourage you to report it using this short form.
