-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-9076 2008-11-12 01:56:50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : netcdf Product : Fedora 9 Version : 3.6.3 Release : 1.fc9 URL : http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/netcdf/index.html Summary : Libraries for the Unidata network Common Data Form (NetCDF v3) Description : NetCDF-3 (network Common Data Form ver3) 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 3.6.3. * In ncdump and ncgen, added CDL support for UTF-8encoding of characters in names and for escaped special chars in names. Made sure UTF-8 names are normalized using NFC rules before storing or comparing. * Handle IEEE NaNs and infinities in a platform-independent way in ncdump output. * Fixed bug in C++ API creating 64-bit offset files. (See http://www.unidata.ucar. edu/software/netcdf/docs/known_problems.html#cxx_64-bit.) * Fixed bug for variables larger than 4 GB. (See http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/doc s/known_problems.html#large_vars_362.) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Oct 22 2008 Orion Poplawski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 3.6.3-1 - Update to 3.6.3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
