NetCDF-C 4.3.3-rc2

on GitHub

4.3.3-rc2 Released 2014-09-24

• Fixed the code for handling character constants
  in datalists in ncgen. Two of the problems were:

  1. It failed on large constants
  2. It did not handle e.g. var = 'a', 'b', ...
     in the same way that ncgen3 did.
     See NCF-309.

• Added a new file, netcdf_meta.h. This file is generated automatically at configure time and contains information related to the capabilities of the netcdf library. This file may be used by projects dependent upon netcdf to make decisions during configuration, based on how the netcdf library was built. The macro NC_HAVE_META_H is defined in netcdf.h. Paired with judicious use of #ifdef's, this macro will indicate to developers whether or not the meta-header file is present. See NCF-313.

  Determining the presence of netcdf_meta.h can also be accomplished by methods common to autotools and cmake-based build systems.

• Changed Doxygen-generated documentation hosted by Unidata to use more robust server-based searching.

• Corrected embedded URLs in release notes.

• Corrected an issue where building with HDF4 support with Visual Studio would fail.
