netCDF-C 4.6.3

on GitHub

The changes from 4.6.2 include but are not limited to:

• [Bug Fix] Correctly generated netcdf.pc generated either by configure or cmake. If linking against a static netcdf, you would need to pass the --static argument to pkg-config in order to list all of the downstream dependencies. See Github #1324 for more information.
• Now always write hidden coordinates attribute, which allows faster file opens when present. See Github #1262 for more information.
• Some fixes for rename, including fix for renumbering of varids after a rename (#1307), renaming var to dim without coordinate var. See Github #1297.
• Fix of NULL parameter causing segfaults in put_vars functions. See Github #1265 for more information.
• Fix of --enable-benchmark benchmark tests Github #1211
• Update the license from the home-brewed NetCDF license to the standard 3-Clause BSD License. This change does not result in any new restrictions; it is merely the adoption of a standard, well-known and well-understood license in place of the historic NetCDF license written at Unidata. This is part of a broader push by Unidata to adopt modern, standardized licensing.
• [BugFix] Corrected DAP-releated issues on big-endian machines. See Github #1321, Github #1302 for more information.
• [BugFix][Enhancement] Various and sundry bugfixes and performance enhancements, thanks to @edhartnett, @gsjaardema, @t-b, @wkliao, and all of our other contributors.
• [Enhancement] Extended nccopy -F syntax to support multiple variables with a single invocation. See Github #1311 for more information.
• [BugFix] Corrected an issue where DAP2 was incorrectly converting signed bytes, resulting in an erroneous error message under some circumstances. See GitHub #1317 for more information. See Github #1319 for related information.
• [BugFix][Enhancement] Modified nccopy so that _NCProperties is not copied over verbatim but is instead generated based on the version of libnetcdf used when copying the file. Additionally, _NCProperties are displayed if/when associated with a netcdf3 file, now. See GitHub #803 for more information.
