We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.2.0 of the Community
Codec Repository (CCR) C/Fortran libraries. Get the new release here:
https://github.com/ccr/ccr/releases/download/v1_2_0/ccr-1.2.0.tar.gz. For
full documentation of the CCR see https://ccr.github.io/ccr/.

The CCR C and Fortran libraries provide additional compression and other
processing for netCDF data files (for netCDF/HDF5 files only).

The CCR uses the HDF5 filter mechanism to add additional compression and
other filters to the netCDF library. This allows netCDF users to read and
write files with compression libraries which may be faster, better, or in
some other way more suitable than the built in netCDF compression methods
(zlib and optionally szip).

Some CCR filters use additional third-party libraries which must be
installed before CCR is built. See the Installation Instructions for more
information.

This release of the CCR supports the following filters:
