Howdy all!

NetCDF 3.6.2 has been released, and can be found on the netCDF home
page:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf

Binary distributions for a variety of systems can be found here:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-3_6_2

Documentation, including the new netCDF Tutorial, can be found here:
www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs

Version 3.6.2 contains the following features:

    * as much as 22% speedup for applications accessing floats or ints
      on little-endian platforms.

    * permit separate Fortran library, so installations may more
      easily support use of multiple Fortran compilers.

    * changed the C++ interface to use only netCDF-3 interface instead
      of the older netCDF-2 interface, which means on-the-fly numeric
      conversions are supported using get methods in the C++
      interface, for example you can get data of any numeric type as
      double.

    * default installation is in /usr/local instead of parent
      directory of source.

    * fixed file size inconsistencies that would occasionally result
      in gratuitous extra bytes at the end of a file.

    * the new NetCDF Tutorial, with example programs in C/F77/F90/C++,
      as another resource for users seeking to understand how to use
      netCDF.

    * removal of the --enable-64-bit option, which built 64-bit
      versions of the netCDF libraries on some platforms.

As usual, please send all comments and questions to:

Thanks!
