Sergei, thanks for posting your comments. We are also very interested in a
Visual Studio port. Could we possibly get a config.h file and any other
stub files needed?
We use netcdf with MS Visual Studio and Intel Visual Fortran. I am mostly
interested in identifying with source files are generated during the
configure process that I might need to successfully build under Windows. I
can handle the config options and testing manually. We normally generate
our own project files anyway.
Is the Visual Studio port still on the UNIDATA agenda, or has this been
abandoned for Cygwin? Using Cygwin is not an option for us.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

> This release contains the following:
>
> * Rewrite netCDF-4 attribute put code for a large speedup when
> writing lots of attributes.
> * Fix nc-config --libs when static dependent libraries are not
> installed in the same directory as netCDF libraries (thanks to
> Jeff Whitaker).
> * Build shared libraries by default, requiring separate Fortran
> library. Static libraries now built only with --disable-shared.
> * Refactor of HDF5 file metadata scan for large speedup in opening
> files, especially large files.
> * Complete rewrite of the handling of character datalist
> constants. The heuristics are documented in ncgen.1.
> * Eliminate use of NC_MAX_DIMS and NC_MAX_VARS in ncdump and
> nccopy,
> allocating memory as needed and reducing their memory footprint.
> * Add documentation for new nc_inq_path() function.
> * Use hashing to speedup lookups by name for files with lots of
> dimensions and variables (thanks to Greg Sjaardema).
> * Add options to nccopy to support uniform compression of variables
> in output, shuffling, and fixing unlimited dimensions. Add option
> to support specifying chunking in output in terms of dimension
> names.
> * Modified opendap constraint parser to be more compatible with a
> java version of the parser.
> * Modified ncgen to utilize iterators internally; should be no user
> visible effect.
> * An internal refactoring of the C library allows for easier
> maintainance and extension of the netCDF library. This
> restructuring of the library code is invisible to the
> end-user. Two new directories have been added to the netCDF build:
> libdispatch, which decides whether to call a netcdf classic,
> netcdf-4, or opendap version of each function in the API, and
> liblib, where, depending on the configure choices, the final
> netCDF library is assembled from convenience libraries created in
> other directories.
> * Fix for make bug which caused documentation to be unnecessarily
> rebuilt after make clean.
> * Fix for bug in accessing a multidimensional variable with more
> than 4 billion values on a 32-bit platform.
> * Fix for memory performance problems in parallel I/O. The automatic
> use of HDF5 buffers in parallel programs with netCDF-4 resulted in
> large memory use.
> * Fix netCDF-4 bug caused when doing enddef/redef and then defining
> coordinate variable out of order.
> * Refactoring of netCDF-4 internals to reduce memory use and end
> dependence on size of NC_MAX_DIMS and NC_MAX_NAME.
> * Fix "ncdump -c" bug identifying coordinate variables in groups.
> * Fix bug in libsrc/posixio.c when providing sizehint larger than
> default, which then doesn't get used (thanks to Harald Anlauf).
> * The netCDF C/Fortran/C++ source code has been moved to Unidata's
> subversion server. Interested users can now examine the netCDF
> code in its full glory and gory internals at
> http://svn.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf.
> * Documentation improvements, especially relating to creating
> netCDF-4 compatible files with HDF5 only.
