NetCDF 4.4.0

Version 4.4.0 of the NetCDF-C library is now available.

Highlights of this release include:

• Added CDM-5 support.
• Added support for opening in-memory file content.
• Modified CMakeLists.txt to work with the re-organized cmake configuration used by the latest HDF5, 1.8.16, on Windows. Before this fix, netCDF would fail to locate hdf5 1.8.16 when using cmake on Windows.
• Modified ncgen to properly handle the L and UL suffixes for integer constants to keep backward compatibility.

Detailed information about the release is available in the Release Notes.

Complete information about using this release can be found in the NetCDF Documentation.
