[netcdf-java] announce: release candidate 2 for Netcdf-Java library version 4.0

Release candidate 2 for version 4.0 (4.0.31) of the Netcdf-Java library is 
available at

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/

Version 4 will soon replace version 2.2 as the stable release of the 
Netcdf-Java library. It has
many bug fixes that are not in the 2.2 branch. Any testing that you can do now 
will be very helpful
to us. Thank you.

---------------------------------

Version 4 is an extensive refactoring of the library, and many significant 
improvements and bug
fixes have been made.

We would appreciate anyone who uses the netcdf-java library to try using this 
new version, and give
us feedback before we finalize it and make it a "stable release", meaning the 
public APIs wont change.

There are API changes that you may see when you start using 4.0 with an 
application that has been
using 2.2. These are mostly minor and in all cases have equivalent or improved 
functionality in 4.0.
Most of the changes are in implementation classes not often used by 
applications. More info is at:

  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/transition4.html

The license for netcdf-java 4.0 has been changed from LGPL to the "MIT-style" 
license used by the
netCDF C library. This is intended to remove perceived barriers to use by some 
commercial companies.
We anticipate continued contributions of bug fixes and enhancements by the 
community.
