- Update to version 4.7.4.
* Support has been added for HDF5-1.12.0.
* Support has been added for multiple filters per variable.
* Now nc_inq_var_szip retuns 0 for parameter values if szip is not in
use for var.
* Now allow parallel I/O with filters, for HDF5-1.10.3 and later.
* Increased default size of cache buffer to 16 MB, from 4 MB. Increased
number of slots to 4133.
* Allow zlib compression to be used with parallel I/O writes, if HDF5
version is 1.10.3 or greater.
* Restore use of szip compression when writing data (including writing
in parallel if HDF5 version is 1.10.3 or greater).
* Enable use of compact storage option for small vars in netCDF/HDF5 files.
* Updated benchmarking program bm_file.c to better handle very large files.
* Added version number to dispatch table, and now check version with
nc_def_user_format().
* Increased size of maximum allowed name in HDF4 files to NC_MAX_NAME.
* Bug Fixes:
- Correct behavior for the command line utilities when
directly accessing a directory using utf8 characters.
- Attempts to set filters or chunked storage on scalar vars will now
return NC_EINVAL. Scalar vars cannot be chunked, and only chunked
vars can have filters. Previously the library ignored these attempts,
and always storing scalars as contiguous storage.
- Fixed problem of growing memory when netCDF-4 files were
opened and closed.
