[netCDF #ZKY-391700]: Re: [netcdfgroup] netcdf-4.2-rc2 release candidate available

Yes, it was actually included in 4.2-rc1 but inadvertently omitted from the 
release
notes.  I've corrected this in the RELEASE_NOTES file that will be in the final 
4.2 release, 
as well as the online version:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/release-notes-4.2-rc2.html

Thanks for reporting the bug, providing a fix, and noting the omission in the 
RELEASE_NOTES!

Sorry for not acknowledging that bug report.  It's one of nearly 50 open issues 
and the
netcdfgroup posting appeared while I was away at a conference.  I've created a 
Jira issue
for the bug:

  https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/NCF-152

and will try to reproduce the problem soon.  The only developer we had that 
knew much
about parallel I/O and who had implemented the netCDF-4 parallel I/O and tests 
left for
another position last October, so we're currently short on expertise in that 
area.

Thanks for reminding me about that open ticket.  It was assigned to the 
developer who
left, so we may not get to it anytime soon, but I'll look at it more closely to 
see how much
effort would be involved.
