Hi,
The 2.4.3 release of netCDF, a mostly bug-fix update to netCDF 2.4.2, is
now available via anonymous FTP from
ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z
The most recent Release Notes, describing the 2.4, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, and
2.4.3 releases is also available as text from the same FTP directory or
as hypertext from:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/release-notes.html
The 2.4.3 release contains a few minor fixes:
* Added a couple of omitted steps needed for building under Windows
NT to the INSTALL document.
* Added the `-p fdigs,ddigs' option to ncdump. This replaces and
behaves like the (now deprecated and undocumented) `-d' option,
except that it overrides any values specified by the `C_format'
attribute for float or double values.
* Made precisions specified by the `-p' or (now deprecated) `-d'
options apply to float or double attributes as well as data
values.
* Fixed cause of potential overflow in ncdump when doing fuzzy
comparison with fill value. This might occur when comparing
values near -FLT_MAX with a fill value near FLT_MAX, or similarly
for doubles.
* Ported configuration mechanism to IRIX64 6.2 and GNU make(1) 3.74.
* Made generation of position-independent code the default.
* Adapted XDR test program to systems whose <float.h> doesn't define
FLT_EPSILON and DBL_EPSILON.
* Improved installation procedures on LINUX systems using the GNU make(1)
utility.
* Incorporated improvements for CRAY PVP systems: faster writing
of initial fill-values and better FFIO error messaging (from
Robert Swanson -- Lockheed Martin Technical Services, National
Environmental Supercomputing Center).
* Corrected typo in FORTRAN manual page: changed NCCREDF to NCREDF.
