Community Survey:
How Do You Use Unidata Software?

06 January 2020

As a community-governed program, Unidata depends on guidance and feedback from educators, researchers, and students in the atmospheric and related sciences. The 2020 Unidata Community Survey seeks your feedback the range of data analysis and visualization software packages maintained and supported by Unidata staff. Your comments and ideas will help Unidata's governing committees and staff plan our future development activities more effectively; your participation is much appreciated.

The survey gives you a chance to describe and comment on your use of Unidata's various data analysis and visualization software packages. We'd love to hear your thoughts on how we're doing and what we can do better.

NetCDF 4.7.3

25 November 2019

Version 4.7.3 of the netCDF-C library is now available.

Changes in the netCDF-C library include (but are not limited to):

Fixed an issue where installs from tarballs would not properly compile in parallel environments.
The library was modified so that rewriting the same attribute happens without deleting the attribute, to avoid a limit on how many times this may be done in HDF5.
Add a dispatch version number to netcdf_meta.h and libnetcdf.settings, in case we decide to change dispatch table in future.
Now testing that endianness can only be set on atomic ints and floats.
Fix for subtle error involving var and unlimited dim of the same name, but unrelated, in netCDF-4.
Update for attribute documentation.
Corrected assignment of anonymous (a.k.a. phony) dimensions in an HDF5 file. Now when a dataset uses multiple dimensions of the same size, netcdf assumes they are different dimensions.
