Greetings!  We appreciate your patience while COVID-19 delayed the fix for the AWIPS 19.3.1 binaries.  The files have been restored to the download portal and now properly contain the updated rpms for 19.3.1.   The next major AWIPS release, 20.2.1, should be available for download in December 2020.

Greetings -- It's been brought to my attention that the .tgz file containing the AWIPS 19.3.1 binaries doesn't contain any binaries (rpms) newer than version 19.2.5. Due to the state of Maryland's "Stay At Home" proclamation, I am currently unable to travel into work to correct this issue.  I will attempt to fix it remotely, however it will take some time if it's possible at all. ...
