The changes from the previous version include (but are not limited to):
- [Enhancement] Add nccopy command options for per-variable chunk
sizing, and minimum chunk size. See GitHub #1087
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/pull/1087>.
- [Bug Fix] Fix nccopy handling of user specified chunk sizes. See GitHub
#725 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/725>,#1087
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1087>.
- [Bug Fix] Avoid limit on number of times a netCDF4 attribute can be
updated. Not a complete fix for the HDF5 “maximum creation order” problem,
but should greatly reduce occurrences in many real-world cases. See GitHub
#350 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/350>.
- [Bug Fix] The use of NC_DISKLESS has been modified to make it cleaner.
This adds a new flag called NC_PERSIST that takes over the now obsolete
NC_MPIPOSIX.
- [Obsolete] Obsolete the MPIPOSIX flag.
- [Bug Fix] When using filters with HDF5 1.10.x or later, it is
necessary to utilize the HDF5 replacements for malloc, realloc, and free in
the filter code.
