Hello all,

The NSF Unidata netCDF team is happy to announce the second release
candidate for netCDF-C v4.9.3. This release will include a lot of quality
of life improvements and bug fixes, as well as improved support for ncZarr.
We expect to release a second release candidate, with a focus on improved
documentation, and a quick-start guide for our Zarr support with S3 and
other cloud-based object stores.

The second release candidate will be out shortly; the final, full release
will occur as quickly as possible, but that will depend on issues which
arise through testing of this release candidate. Assuming no major issues
are reported, we hope to have the final release of v4.9.3 out by the end of
December. Thanks all for your patience, contributions and help!
