NetCDF Fortran 4.5.3

Version 4.5.3 of the netCDF-Fortran library is now available.

The netCDF-Fortran library version 4.5.3 requires the netCDF-C library version 4.7.4 or greater. Changes in this release include (but are not limited to):

• Added a libnetcdff.settings file similar to libnetcdf.settings.
• Added support for gcc/gfortran 10. The -fallow_argument_mismatch flag is passed to the underlying compiler when the flag is found to be supported. This change has been added to the autotools and cmake based builds.
• Added support for HDF5 compact storage.
• Added support for creating netCDF/HDF5 files with szip compression with new functions nf90_def_var_szip() and nf_def_var_szip().

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