Name : netcdf
Product : Fedora 25
Version : 4.4.1.1
Release : 1.fc25
URL : http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/
Summary : Libraries for the Unidata network Common Data Form
Description :
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is an interface for array-oriented
data access and a freely-distributed collection of software libraries
for C, Fortran, C++, and perl that provides an implementation of the
interface. The NetCDF library also defines a machine-independent
format for representing scientific data. Together, the interface,
library, and format support the creation, access, and sharing of
scientific data. The NetCDF software was developed at the Unidata
Program Center in Boulder, Colorado.
NetCDF data is:
o Self-Describing: A NetCDF file includes information about the
data it contains.
o Network-transparent: A NetCDF file is represented in a form that
can be accessed by computers with different ways of storing
integers, characters, and floating-point numbers.
o Direct-access: A small subset of a large dataset may be accessed
efficiently, without first reading through all the preceding
data.
o Appendable: Data can be appended to a NetCDF dataset along one
dimension without copying the dataset or redefining its
structure. The structure of a NetCDF dataset can be changed,
though this sometimes causes the dataset to be copied.
o Sharable: One writer and multiple readers may simultaneously
access the same NetCDF file.

Update Information:
Update to 4.4.1.1 * [Bug] Fixed an issue where ncgen would potentially crash
or write incorrect netCDF4 binary data under very specific circumstances. This
bug did not affect data written on 32-bit systems or by using the netCDF
library; it was specific to ncgen. This would only happen when writing a
compound data type containing an 8-byte data type followed by a 4-byte data type
and the 4-byte data type was not properly aligned; this would possibly result in
incorrect padding. This did not affect 32-bit systems, or data written directly
by the library. See GitHub #323 for more information. * [Documentation] Updated
documentation related to netCDF variable names and DAP2 access to reflect the
undefined behavior potentially observed when DAP2 reserved keywords are used as
netCDF variable names. See GitHub #308 for more information. * [Bug] Fixed an
issue with nc_inq_type() not returning proper value in some circumstances. See
GitHub #317 for more information. * [Bug] Corrected an issue related to test
failures when --disable-utilities or -DENABLE_UTILITIES=OFF are specified when
building with autotools or cmake, respectively. See GitHub #313 for more
information. * [Bug][Enhancement] Corrected a behavioral issue with the
_NCProperties attribute taking up too much space. See GitHub #300 and GitHub
#301 for more information. * [Bug] Corrected behavior for nc-config so that, if
nf-config is found in system, the proper fortran-related information will be
conveyed. See GitHub #296 for more information.
