Hello all,
The third (and hopefully final) release candidate for netCDF-C 4.4.1 has
been released. As a reminder, the 4.4.1 release will primarily address the
issue of backwards-compatible netCDF4 binary files generated on systems
using libhdf5 1.10+.
Thanks to everybody who provided feedback following the previous release
candidate; the bugs that were reported have been fixed. Full release notes may
be found here
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/blob/v4.4.1-rc3/RELEASE_NOTES.md>, but
the notable items are listed below.
The source tarballs for this release candidate may be downloaded from the
Unidata GitHub page, at http://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/releases.
Documentation may be found at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc, and the pre-compiled
Windows binaries may be downloaded from
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc/winbin.html. Assuming
no other issues are reported, we will try to have the full 4.4.1 release
available in short order.
Thanks in advance for any and all feedback; have a great day all!
