13.16 NetCDF-4 Status
NetCDF-4.0 was released in June 2008. NetCDF-4.1.1 was released in
April 2010.
NetCDF-4.1.1 is currently
available.
- We're always seeking feedback on performance and functionality.
- The netCDF daily snapshot should be used to get bug fixes for
enhanced netCDF-4 model features.
- ncdump, ncgen. and nccopy handle netCDF-4 enhanced model in
4.1.1 release.
- NetCDF-4.1.1 contains the OPeNDAP client, allowing remote access
to data within netCDF files.
- NetCDF-4.1.2 will be released soon, with large speedup in
opening large netCDF-4 files, reducing memory footprint of
library, the new nc_inq_path() function, hashed lookups for files
with lots of variables and dimensions, bug fixes to large-file
creation, compatibility with Java version of DAP parser, and refactoring of
dispatch layer,
Tentative plans for netCDF-4.2 and beyond are on the netCDF
documentation page.
