Howdy all! Two new beta releases of the netcdf C/Fortran/C++ libraries are available on the netCDF web site: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/ It is not necessary to get both releases. The 4.0-beta2 release is fully backward compatible and contains all the functionality of the 3.6.3 release. It is a drop-in replacement for the netCDF 3.6.2 release. Get the 4.0 beta if you want to keep using netCDF classic format, and also want to try new netCDF-4 features. To access the netCDF-4 features, correct versions of HDF5 and zlib must be installed. Everything is explained in the netCDF-4 installation instructions: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/netcdf-4/newdocs/netcdf-install/Quick-Instructions.html The 4.0-beta2 release is the final beta before release of 4.0 in June. See the release notes for more information, and links to all the necessary tarballs: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/release-notes-4.0-beta.html The 3.6.3 release is provided as a maintenance release for those who do not want to upgrade to netCDF-4 yet. The 3.6.3 release contains the latest core library code, without the netCDF-4 enhancements. Get this release only if you know you will not be getting the 4.0 release. For more details about this release see the release notes: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/release-notes-3.6.3-beta1.html These beta releases have been tested on a variety of platforms. See the builds page for more information: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/builds/ Please let us know how these releases worked at support-netcdf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Thanks!
