netCDF-C 4.5.0 - Release Candidate 3

on GitHub

We are pleased to announce the third release candidate for netCDF 4.5.0. Assuming no further bug reports (won't that be nice!) we should have the full release out soon. In addition to general bug fixes, the main improvements from rc2 are as follows:

• [Update] Due to ongoing issues, native CDF5 support has been disabled by default. You can use the options mentioned below (--enable-cdf5 or -DENABLE_CDF5=TRUE for configure or cmake, respectively). Just be aware that for the time being, Reading/Writing CDF5 files on 32-bit platforms may result in unexpected behavior when using extremely large variables. For 32-bit platforms it is best to continue using NC_FORMAT_64BIT_OFFSET.
• [Bug] Corrected an issue where older versions of curl might fail. See GitHub #487 for more information.
• [Enhancement] Added options to enable/disable CDF5 support at configure time for autotools and cmake-based builds. The options are --enable/disable-cdf5 and ENABLE_CDF5, respectively. See Github #484 for more information.
• [Bug Fix] Corrected an issue when subsetting a netcdf3 file via nccopy -v/-V. See Github #425 and Github #463 for more information.
• [Bug Fix] Corrected --has-dap and --has-dap4 output for cmake-based builds. See GitHub #473 for more information.
• [Bug Fix] Corrected an issue where NC_64BIT_DATA files were being read incorrectly by ncdump, despite the data having been written correctly. See GitHub #457 for more information.
• [Bug Fix] Corrected a potential stack buffer overflow. See GitHub #450 for more information.
