<div dir="ltr" >&nbsp;</div>
<div dir="ltr" >I’m happy to announce the first stable release of HDF5-UDF -- a 
tool that enables the procedural generation of HDF5/NetCDF4 datasets using 
user-defined functions (UDFs). It is possible to access the network and connect 
to sensors, web services, and more – and expose that data as HDF5 datasets that 
regular tools can readily consume.</div>
<div dir="ltr" >&nbsp;</div>
<div dir="ltr" >This first release provides support for UDFs written in Python, 
C/C++, and Lua – all of which execute in a sandboxed environment that restricts 
access to system resources. Moreover, HDF5-UDF is shipped as a filter, which 
means that no modifications are needed to applications that read from NetCDF4 
files.</div>
<div dir="ltr" >&nbsp;</div>
<div dir="ltr" >The project comes with several examples that should help you 
get started. It’s even possible to embed the classic Doom game as an HDF5 
dataset, for instance!*</div>

>https://github.com/lucasvr/hdf5-udf</a> for details on how to install it from 
the binary package or to build it from the source code.</div>
