2. ERDDAP v 1.74 released 2016-10-07 Didn't publicly announce it. (Long story.) But it is available and good. v1.76 is coming very soon.

3. Long Titles Fully Displayed (v1.74) No more "..." in long titles Thanks to Margaret O'Brien, LTER, and EML.

4. Other Request Options Each dataset's .html page and .graph page have lots of options, but the griddap and tabledap documentation describe more. https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/documentation.html https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/documentation.html Notably, there are several additional parameters for graphs (most v1.66). For example, you can: Make the x or y axis descending &.xRange=min|max|ascending (t*|f) Specify the background color for a graph &.bgColor=0xAARRGGBB Specify the font size &.font=scaleFactor Specify a .png image's canvas size (in pixels) &.size=width|height Trim the whitespace at the bottom of an image &.trim=trimPixels Get an image with out|only the legend &.legend=Bottom*|Off|Only Some of these are thanks to John Kerfoot and Luke Campbell.

5. min(var) and max(var) in Tabular Data Constraints (v1.66) In general: &variable operator value &wtemp>=32 &time>now-2days New: (if min and max are known for a variable) &wtemp>=max(wtemp)-2 &time>max(time)-2days Thanks to John Kerfoot and Luke Campbell.
