[AWIPS #NKZ-238833]: missing procedures and custom points

This morning we pushed out a brand new release of AWIPS (CAVE installer and our 
public EDEX).
More information can be found on our blog post:
 https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/awips-tips-unidata-awips-203 

I would highly recommend subscribing to our awips2-users email list.  We only 
use the mailing 
list to update our users of any known EDEX outages, and to notify users about 
our new AWIPS
Tips Blog post (which is published every other Wednesday).  The AWIPS Tips blog 
series also 
usually coincides with our software release dates, so you will also be aware of 
the latest 
changes to CAVE and EDEX.

If you were using v18 of CAVE, you should update to the latest version of CAVE 
that we released
today.  If you were already using the beta version (20.3.2-0.x), then I also 
recommend upgrading
to the latest version when you get a chance, but at least your CAVE will be 
compatible with our
new production EDEX server.

If you were using the beta (v20) then we should be able to pretty easily bring 
over your previous
saved settings. We just need to know:
- the operating system
- the computer name
- your username
on the computer you run CAVE from.

If you were using v18, please note that not all previous user configs are 
compatible with the new
version and may override updates that were made in version 20.

Please let us know which version you were using also.
Thank you.
