Release notes file for the netcdf-fortran package.

This file contains a high-level description of this package's evolution. Entries are in reverse chronological order (most recent first).

4.6.1 - May 19, 2023

Requirements

netCDF-C: 4.9.0+

Note: to enable libzstd support, you need to satisfy the following requirements.
1. libnetcdf.so installed with libzstd support.
2. The environmental variable HDF5_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be specified to the same location used when installing libnetcdf. This can be determined after-the-fact using nc-config --plugindir.

4.6.0 - July 29, 2022

Requirements

netCDF-C: 4.9.0+

Notable Changes

We've added API support to take advantage of the Quantize functionality provided by libnetcdf 4.9.0+. See this conversation for more information.
We've added API support to take advantage of ZStandard compression functionality, as described here. Note that you can suppress this with the new options --disable-zstandard-plugin (for configure) and -DDISABLE_ZSTANDARD_PLUGIN (for cmake).

Since all compilers now support F2003, we can use F2003 features to build the F77 API. Full backwards-compatibility with all existing F77 API code is assured. See <a href="https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/issues/85" >#85</a> for more information. * Added an option in cmake builds, <tt>BUILD_EXAMPLES</tt>, <tt>TRUE</tt> by default.

The issue was reported, and subsequently fixed, by Neil Carlson at Los Alamos Nat'l Laboratory. See <a href="https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/pull/44" >Github Pull Request #44</a> for more information. * Integrated improvements provided by Richard Weed. For a <em>complete</em> list of modifications, see the file <tt>docs/netcdf_fortran_4.4.2dev_notes_RW.pdf</tt>. <strong>It is highly detailed and worth reading!</strong> The highlights of the improvements are as follows: * Explicit dependencies on <tt>NC_MAX_DIM</tt> constant for arrays has been removed and replaced with dynamically-allocated arrays. * Support for <tt>nc_open_mem()</tt> in the C library, allowing for the creation of "in memory" files. * General clean up. @section autotoc_md28 4.4.3 Released 2016-01-20 * Corrected a bug which would return a false-positive in <tt>nf_test</tt> when using netCDF-C <tt>4.4.0</tt>. * Updated the <tt>cfortran.doc</tt> license document for the <tt>cfortran.h</tt> library. The most recent version was pulled from http://cfortran.sourceforge.net. The previous version did not reflect that the author had released cfortran under the LGPL. See <a href="https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-fortran/issues/27" >Github Issue 27</a> for more information. @section autotoc_md29 4.4.2 Released 2015-02-02 * Added infrastructure to support the new <tt>netcdf-c</tt> option, <tt>ENABLE_REMOTE_FORTRAN_BOOTSTRAP</tt>. * Incorporated changes submitted by Nico Schlomer which extends the cmake compatibility between <tt>netcdf-c</tt> and <tt>netcdf-fortran</tt>. * Incorporated a patch submitted by Thomas Jahns which fixed <tt>FC</tt> being unconditionally overwritten by <tt>F77</tt> when <tt>Fortran 90</tt> was disabled. @section autotoc_md30 4.4.1 Released 2014-09-09 * No significant changes from RC1. @subsection autotoc_md31 4.4.1-RC1 Released 2014-08-05 * Added a new variable for cmake-based builds, <tt>NC_EXTRA_DEPS</tt>. Use this to specify additional dependencies when linking against a static <tt>netcdf-c</tt> library, e.g. @code{fortran} netcdf-fortran/build$ cmake .. -DNC_EXTRA_DEPS="-lhdf5 -lhdf5_hl -lcurl" @endcode * Fixed to build correctly with netCDF-3-only C library, for example C library configured with –disable-netcdf-4 (R. Weed). @section autotoc_md32 4.4 Released 2014-07-08 * For 32-bit platforms fixed integer fill parameters, initialized potentially unitialized variables, and provided some missing defaults (R.

Weed) * Fixed potential bug in attribute functions for integer values when Fortran <tt>INTEGER*1</tt> or <tt>INTEGER*2</tt> types are the same size as C long (R. Weed). * Added test for compiler support of Fortran 2008 <tt>ISO_FORTRAN_ENV</tt> additions and TS29113 standard extension. * Fixed <tt>C_PTR_DIFF_T</tt> issue reported by Orion Poplowski (R. Weed). @subsection autotoc_md33 4.4-rc1 Released 2013-10-06 * Added doxygen-generated documentation, using the <tt>--enable-doxygen</tt> and <tt>-DENABLE_DOXYGEN</tt> flags for autotools and cmake-based builds, respectively. * Added missing error codes for DAP and some netCDF-4 errors * Fixed some documentation for F77 API, added make rule for creating netcdf-f77 HTML files. @subsection autotoc_md34 4.4-beta5 Released 2013-08-27 * Added configuration files to github distribution. @subsection autotoc_md35 4.4-beta4 * Moved to GitHub from Subversion, the location of the new GitHub repository is at: http://github.com/Unidata/netCDF-Fortran * Parallel-build portability fixes, particularly for OpenMPI and gcc/gfortran-4.8.x on the Mac. Also added test from Reto Stöckli for NCF-250 bug, demonstrating it was fixed in previous commit. * Add support for NF_MPIIO, NF_MPIPOSIX, NF_PNETCDF, and NF_FILL_UINT in the data files. * Add support for nf_inq_path. * Add a pre-processor macro that can be used to bypass the home-brew C_PTRDIFF_T definition and use the standard one for compilers that support it. * Fix a potential bug in nf_attio to call the _long version of some puts/gets instead of the _int version. These were inside INT1_IS_C_LONG and INT2_IS_C_LONG ifdef blocks so they would have only showed up when those macros were true. @subsection autotoc_md36 4.4-beta3 Released 2012-12-07 * Fixed bug that "make -j check" fails, but "make check" works fine. * Fixed build problems resulting from syncing with separate C distribution. * Synchronize with all changes made to version 4.2 since ts release. @subsection autotoc_md37 4.4-beta2 Released 2012-06-29 * Made handling of –disable-f03 more transparent. * Fixed adding flags for parallel I/O for MPI from David Warren. * Removed all the old C code that's not needed for this separate distribution. * Inadvertently broke the build until syncing with C distribution in later beta release. @subsection autotoc_md38 4.4-beta1 Released 2012-03-02 * <tt>Fortran 2003 Support</tt> Version 4.4 is the first release to support fortran 2003 and to use the ISO C Bindings available in fortran 2003 to replace the older C code wrappers. Congratulations and thanks to Richard Weed at Mississippi State University, who is the author of new code. See the file <tt>README_F03_MODS</tt> for a more complete description of the changes. Many changes to the build structure have been made at the same time as the new 2003 code has been inserted. As part of the fortran 2003 refactor, the directory structure has been significantly modified. All the previous F90 C wrapper code has been moved to the "libsrc" directory. All of the fortran code has been moved to the "fortran" directory. The directories names F77 and F90 have been removed. The most important consequence of this refactor is that pure Fortran77 compilers are no longer supported. It is assumed that the compiler supports at least Fortran 90 and also Fortran 77. If it also supports the ISO C Bindings, then the new 2003 code is used instead of the older C wrappers.
