@WardF, the NOAA operational team (from back East) have asked me to ask whether there can be a netcdf-c library release within the next month or so? And if not, then when can there be a release?
The recent changes to zlib/szip compression have made a big difference for them, and they want to release that (already delayed) code into operations and to the science community,. The slow sequential compression was a big roadblock to their release, and now it is gone.
Their goal in this release is to give the community netcdf-based data files, for greater ease of use in the science community.
However, they cannot release code that depends on the netcdf-c master branch, they need to specify a formal release. While they can build and use the master branch, for the purposes of scientific reproducability, they really need a release version.
So any information you can provide would be helpful, and I will pass it along to the NOAA team. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
