NetCDF-C Release Notes
The changes from the previous version include (but are not limited to):
-
[Enhancement] Added unit_test directory, which contains unit tests
for the libdispatch and libsrc4 code (and any other directories that
want to put unit tests there). Use —disable-unit-tests to run without
unit tests (ex. for code coverage analysis).
See GitHub #1458 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1458>
-
[Bug Fix] Remove obsolete _CRAYMPP and LOCKNUMREC macros from
code. Also brought documentation up to date in man page. These macros
were used in ancient times, before modern parallel I/O systems were
developed. Programmers interested in parallel I/O should see
nc_open_par() and nc_create_par().
See GitHub #1459 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1459>
-
[Enhancement] Remove obsolete and deprecated functions
nc_set_base_pe() and nc_inq_base_pe() from the dispatch table. (Both
functions are still supported in the library, this is an internal
change only.)
See GitHub #1468 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1468>
-
[Bug Fix] Reverted nccopy behavior so that if no -c parameters
are given, then any default chunking is left to the netcdf-c library
to decide.
See GitHub #1436 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1436>
-
Various other bugfixes and improvements.
