v5.5.2
netCDF-Java
Version 5.5.2
The NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library version 5.5.2 release was announced on January 5th, 2022. NetCDF-Java requires Java 8 or later. This release has been built and tested using Temurin 8 from the (Eclipse Adoptium project) 8, 11, and Zulu 8 and 11.
Notices
The previous release, 5.5.1, although tested on Java versions 8 and 11, was compiled with Java 11, and caused errors for some users running JDK 8. This release addresses those compatibility issues, and was compiled using Temurin 8.
Our intention is to continue to provide support for v5.x as long as we are able to maintain Java 8 compatibility, which is dependent on upstream library support for providing security releases that do not require moving to Java 11.
