• Pre-built Windows downloads will now be bundled with the latest (as of the time of this writing) versions of the various dependencies:
  • hdf5: 1.8.12
  • zlib: 1.2.8
  • libcurl: 7.35.0
• Added a separate flag to enable DAP AUTH tests. These tests are disabled by default. The flags for autotools and CMAKE-based builds are (respectively):
  • --enable-dap-auth-tests
  • -DENABLE_DAP_AUTH_TESTS
• Fixed small default chunk size for 1-dimensional record variables. NCF-211
• Cleaned up type handling in netCDF-4 to fix bugs with fill-values.
• Corrected "BAIL" macros to avoid infinite loop when logging is disabled and an error occurs.
• Refactored how types are used for attributes, variables, and committed types, clarifying and categorizing fields in structs, and eliminating duplicated type information between variables and types they use.
• Made type structure sharable by committed datatypes and variables that use it.
• Handled string datatypes correctly, particularly for fill value attributes. Expanded testing for string fill values.
• Simplified iteration of objects in the file when it's opened, tracking fewer objects and using less memory.
• Enabled netCDF-4 bit-for-bit reproducibility for nccopy and other applications (thanks to Rimvydas Jasinskas and Quincey Koziol) by turning off HDF5 object creation, access, and modification time tracking. NCF-290
• Addressed an issue where cmake-based builds would not properly create a pkg-config file. This file is now created properly by cmake. NCF-288
• Addressed an issue related to old DAP servers. NCF-287
