Hello all,

The Unidata netCDF team is happy to announce the release of netCDF-Fortran
4.6.0.  This release has a number of bug fixes, but also provides two new
features we are excited about.  They provide hooks into the `Quantization`
and `ZStandard Compression` functionality introduced with netCDF-C v4.9.0.
In addition to these new user-facing features, a lot of under-the-hood
refactoring went on to help us maintain the viability and health of the
Fortran code base. Thank you very much to all who contributed to make this
happen, particularly Ed Hartnett, Charlie Zender, Dennis Heimbigner, and
others!

Full release notes can be found at the Github link below.

* Documentation: https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-fortran/current/

Our next netCDF priority will be bringing this functionality to the C++
interface, and getting the 4.9.1 release of the C library bundled up.

Please feel free to contact us with any bug reports or questions, thank you
all very much have a great weekend!
