The changes from the previous version include (but are not limited to):
- [Bug Fix] Correctly generated netcdf.pc generated either by configure
or cmake. If linking against a static netcdf, you would need to pass the
--static argument to pkg-config in order to list all of the downstream
dependencies. See Github #1324
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1324> for more information.
- Now always write hidden coordinates attribute, which allows faster
file opens when present. See Github #1262
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1262> for more information.
- Some fixes for rename, including fix for renumbering of varids after a
rename (#1307), renaming var to dim without coordinate var. See Github
#1297 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1297>.
- Fix of NULL parameter causing segfaults in put_vars functions. See Github
#1265 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1265> for more
information.
- Fix of —enable-benchmark benchmark tests Github #1211
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1211>
- Update the license from the home-brewed NetCDF license to the standard
3-Clause BSD License. This change does not result in any new restrictions;
it is merely the adoption of a standard, well-known and well-understood
license in place of the historic NetCDF license written at Unidata. This is
part of a broader push by Unidata to adopt modern, standardized licensing.
- [BugFix] Corrected DAP-releated issues on big-endian machines. See Github
#1321 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1321>, Github #1302
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1302> for more information.
- [BugFix][Enhancement] Various and sundry bugfixes and performance
enhancements, thanks to \@edhartnett, \@gsjaardema, \@t-b, \@wkliao, and
all of our other contributors.
- [Enhancement] Extended nccopy -F syntax to support multiple variables
with a single invocation. See Github #1311
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1311> for more information.
- [BugFix] Corrected an issue where DAP2 was incorrectly converting
signed bytes, resulting in an erroneous error message under some
circumstances. See GitHub #1317
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1317> for more information.
See Github #1319 <https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/1319> for
related information.
- [BugFix][Enhancement] Modified nccopy so that _NCProperties is not
copied over verbatim but is instead generated based on the version of
libnetcdf used when copying the file. Additionally, _NCProperties are
displayed if/when associated with a netcdf3 file, now. See GitHub #803
<https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/803> for more information.
