[McIDAS #DXS-904976]: Release of McIDAS-X version 2017.2

Yes.

re:
> Apparently this "fastrack" release can handle GOES ABI and GLM data.

Yes, but so could SSEC v2017.1.  There have been quite a few updates to
in routines that support ABI and GLM data, however.

re:
> If so, is there an approximate release data?

I downloaded the SSEC v2017.2 fastrack release yesterday afternoon, and I am
busily incorporating all of their changes/additions to the Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD
v2017 release.  I should be done with incorporating the SSEC v2017.2 code this
afternoon, and then I need to return to finishing my ADDE servers for the
ABI imagery delivered in NOAAPort.  Exactly when this all of this will be done
is not clear to me right now, but it should be "soon" (meaning as fast as
possible).

re:
> Thanks!

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
