I just did a listing in the IDV v4.0u1:

Data Chooser -> Catalogs -> UCAR IDD Model Data -> NCEP GFS Global 0.5 degree

and I see the April 14 1800 UTC model run.  The time I did the interrogation
was 02:17 UTC.  Given this, there does not appear to be any issues with
the THREDDS model data serving.

This comment seems to be in contradiction with the one in your second paragraph:

2nd paragraph:

> Is there a reason why i can not access the latest GFS releases on the
> THREDDS server?

Are you having problems, or are you not having problems?

re:
> Or is it possible that the latest releases of GFS are not made public anymore?

No, this is not the case.

re:
> I am looking forward to your reply about my enquiries.

Perhaps you tried to access the 18 UTC GFS output just before it was
available on motherlode?  I suggest this since I was able to access
the 18 UTC run at 02:17 UTC.

Cheers,

Tom
