File: /outgoing/iris_patches/8.09/README809

This is a summary of the IRIS 8.09 patches available on the SIGMET
ftp site.  File last updated 5 January 2006.  The general proceedure
for installing patches is:
 1) Move the file platform/foo.v1.gz to your IRIS_BIN directory.
 2) Rename the file it will replace (e.g. "mv foo foo.v0" )
 3) Uncompress the new file (e.g "gunzip foo.v1.gz")
 4) Make a symbolic link from the original name to the patch.
    (e.g. "ln -s foo.v1 foo"
 5) Set ownership and mode to exactly match the old file.  You can
    see this information with "ls -l foo*".
    (e.g. "chown operator foo.v1", "chgrp users foo.v1", "chmod 775 foo.v1")


============================= 8.09.0.4 ===============================
product.v4.gz  Posted 18 July 2005
Fixed a bug introduced in the product generator on 17 Dec 2004 in 
release 8.00.  The product generator had uninitialized memory when 
using named projections.  This could have the effect stopping or 
producing the wrong results in the COMP, NDOP, SLINE, and any other 
product using named projections.  A typical error message might be
"Invalid argument to mpj_pin_region" or "Product contains invalid 
size (0x0)".

============================= 8.09.0.5 ===============================
window.v5.gz  Posted 19 August 2005
Fixed a bug in the output options menu for WIND products when
launched from the QLW.  The wind string length and threshold
numbers were not working.  These fields were never working.

product.v5.gz  Posted 19 August 2005
Fixed yet another case of uninitialized memorey causing the 
"Invalid argument to mpj_pin_region" bug dating back to 8.00.  
This time just in the NDOP product.  In this case stops making 
the product and it also leaves one of the input files open.
This will cause an open file leak.  If you are using the NDOP
product you should install the patch.

============================= 8.09.0.6 ===============================

input8.09.0.6.gz  -- Posted 7 January 2007

This version of the input process adds just one new feature:
It adds support for the .meta file which allows you to run
the new version 8.11.0.2 UfToIris pipe program.  This new
pipe can input hybrid volume scans.
