Howdy all!
NetCDF 3.6.2 has been released, and can be found on the netCDF home
page:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf
Binary distributions for a variety of systems can be found here:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-3_6_2
Documentation, including the new netCDF Tutorial, can be found here:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs
Version 3.6.2 contains the following features:
* as much as 22% speedup for applications accessing floats or ints
on little-endian platforms.
* permit separate Fortran library, so installations may more
easily support use of multiple Fortran compilers.
* changed the C++ interface to use only netCDF-3 interface instead
of the older netCDF-2 interface, which means on-the-fly numeric
conversions are supported using get methods in the C++
interface, for example you can get data of any numeric type as
double.
* default installation is in /usr/local instead of parent
directory of source.
* fixed file size inconsistencies that would occasionally result
in gratuitous extra bytes at the end of a file.
* the new NetCDF Tutorial, with example programs in C/F77/F90/C++,
as another resource for users seeking to understand how to use
netCDF.
* removal of the --enable-64-bit option, which built 64-bit
versions of the netCDF libraries on some platforms.
