NetCDF 4.1.3 Release Notes

The Unidata NetCDF group is pleased to announce the new 4.1.3 release of the netCDF C/Fortran/C++ libraries. This release contains bug fixes and internal refactoring.

• [NCF-20] - use of --with-hdf5= and other such options violates conventions and causes build problems
• [NCF-21] - szlib is not always linked when needed
• [NCF-22] - Corrupt files silently created when disabling fill mode using Lustre (or other large blksize file system)
• [NCF-23] - netCDF-4/HDF5 files created with 4.1.2 cannot be read by earlier versions of netCDF or HDF5
• [NCF-41] - Configure.ac does not make the search for the xdr library depend on --enable-dap
• [NCF-42] - _Format attribute is not always used
• [NCF-43] - ncgen does not properly handle unsigned longlong parsing
• [NCF-47] - DAP code must suppress variables with illegal names such as x.y
• [NCF-49] - Some environments do not have built-in uint type
• [NCF-50] - A username+password embedded in a dap url is not being processed.
• [NCF-60] - parallel I/O problem from f77
• [NCF-61] - ifort compile problems, sometimes
• [NCF-67] - f90_def_var does not always handle deflate setting
• [NCF-68] - nf90_create does not return error when parallel access is used, but neither mpiio or mpiposix flags are set
• [NCF-48] - Improve documentation on handling client-side certificates
• [NCF-69] - Document that array arguments, ecxcept in varm functions, must point to contiguous blocks of memory
• [NCF-6] - Pass tests for netCDF-4 DLLs.
