Release Procedures

Each version of the text data server software is identified by a major and minor release number, such as 1_4. Each of these releases may be accessed on ADDS at its own base URL, such as http://weather.aero/dataserver1_4.

When new releases occur, the new version and older versions are maintained side by side for a period of time (a minimum of 2 months) to allow users/developers to update their parsers and otherwise transition to the new version. After this time period, old versions may be removed. For convenience, the base URL http://weather.aero/dataserver_current will always point to the most recent version of the server.

It is recommended that users use the version-numbered areas, such as dataserver1_4, instead of the dataserver_current link if they are concerned about the API or formats changing unexpectedly. With each new release, the dataserver_current link will be updated and this may cause slight changes in the handling of requests or format of responses that could cause your program to fail. On the other hand, users who always want to use the latest and greatest release can simply use the dataserver_current link to make sure that they are always up to date.
