[netcdfgroup] netCDF 4.3 Release Candidate available

Good afternoon all,

We are officially announcing the availability of the netCDF-C libraries version 4.3.0, release candidate 2.

Documentation and source downloads are available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-rc/index.jsp

Pre-built Windows binaries are available at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs_rc/winbin.html

The previous Windows-specific website, http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf/win_netcdf/ will redirect to this new location. Please note that these pre-built libraries (both 32 & 64-bit) are built and tested on 64-bit Windows 7 using Visual Studio 10.

Highlights of the 4.3 release include:

o Many bug fixes.
o Improved DAP support.
o Improved parallel-netcdf support.
o Improved Windows support.
o Integration of CMake, allow for Visual-Studio based builds.

This release candidate is the precursor to either a new release candidate, or the final 4.3.0 release (depending on the number and severity of bugs reported). As always, we welcome any bug reports and/or feedback!

Have a great evening,

-Ward
