netCDF-C 4.7.0

on GitHub

The changes from 4.6.3 include but are not limited to:

• [Enhancement] A plethora of bug fixes and performance improvements.

• [Enhancement] Updated behavior of pkgconfig and nc-config to allow the use of the --static flags, e.g. nc-config --libs --static, which will show information for linking against libnetcdf statically. See Github #1360 and Github #1257 for more information.

• [Enhancement] Provide byte-range reading of remote datasets. This allows
  read-only access to, for example, Amazon S3 objects and also Thredds Server
  datasets via the HTTPService access method.
  See GitHub #1251.

• 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.
