NetCDF-Fortran 4.4.0

Version 4.4.0 of the netCDF-Fortran library is now available.

Some highlights of the 4.4.0 release:

  • For 32-bit platforms fixed integer fill parameters, initialized potentially unitialized variables, and provided some missing defaults (Thanks to R. Weed).
  • Fixed CMake builds on 32-bit platforms.
  • Added new inq_path and rename_grps functions analogous to corresponding C functions. Added associated tests. (Thanks to R. Weed)
  • Added support for NF_MPIIO, NF_MPIPOSIX, NF_PNETCDF flags and NF_FILL_UINT. (Thanks to R. Weed)
  • Fixed potential bug in attribute functions for integer values when Fortran INTEGER*1 or INTEGER*2 types are the same size as C long. (Thanks to R. Weed)
  • Added test for compiler support of Fortran 2008 ISO_FORTRAN_ENV additions and TS29113 standard extension.
  • Fixed C_PTR_DIFF_T issue reported by Orion Poplowski. (Thanks to R. Weed)

Since our initial move to github, we've refined our release process using the netCDF-C project. Hopefully this has helped minimize the issues introduced in this, our first full netCDF-Fortran release hosted on github.

Source-code zip and tar.gz archives can be found on Unidata's netCDF-Fortran GitHub site.

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