NetCDF 4.3.3.1

Version 4.3.3.1 of the NetCDF-C library is now available. (Version 4.3.3 was released a couple of weeks ago, but due to the immediate discovery of a bug, it was not announced.)

Version 4.3.3/4.3.3.1 is a bug-fix release with that includes some minor improvements. Highlights include:

• When the NC_MPIPOSIX flag is given for parallel I/O access and the HDF5 library does not have the MPI-POSIX VFD configured in, the NC_MPIPOSIX flag is transparently aliased to the NC_MPIIO flag within the netCDF-4 library.
• DAP requests now always include a restraint. Due to a problem in version 4.3.2, no constraint was generated when all variables were requested.
• Fixed the code for handling character constants in datalists in ncgen. Two of the problems were:
  • It failed on large constants
  • It did not handle e.g.
    var = 'a', 'b', …
    in the same way that ncgen3 did.

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