A beta version of NetCDF Java Library 2.0 is available at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf-java/ Since the last release March 1, two new features are added:1) ucar.nc2.VariableStandardized allows the user to handle packed data and missing values in standard ways.
2) NetCDF files can be accessed via HTTP. This is based on work from Donald Denbo (and others) and the HTTPClient library from Ronald Tschalär.
