The NSF Unidata THREDDS development team is happy to announce the release
of version 5.10.0 of the netCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library. This
release contains a number of enhancements, bug fixes, and 3rd party
dependency updates. New features include support for Blosc compression,
object storage support for feature collections (primarily focused on GRIB),
and the generation of Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for uber-jars
(e.g., netcdfAll, ncIdv, toolsUI) using the CycloneDX standard. More
information about the release can be found on the GitHub release page:
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/releases/tag/v5.10.0
Instructions for using artifacts can be found in the documentation:
https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-java/current/userguide/using_netcdf_java_artifacts.html
Downloads for netCDFAll and ToolsUI can be found on the NSF Unidata
downloads page or the GitHub release page:
https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-java/
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/releases/tag/v5.10.0
If you use netCDFAll or ToolsUI to run CDM utility programs (for example,
the java versions of ncdump, ncopy, etc.), a super handy community-led
effort makes JAR management and a set of convenient wrapper scripts (.sh
and .bat) available through conda-forge. Details can be found in the CDM
Utility Program documentation:
https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-java/current/userguide/cdm_utility_programs.html
Special note for netCDFAll.jar users
We are evaluating the inclusion of additional components in netCDFAll.jar,
such as object storage support, Zarr, and native compression libraries
(AEC, Blosc). Note that these additions will increase the size of the
uber-jar. Please provide your feedback in the GitHub discussion for the
topic:

Please report any problems you encounter on GitHub or to
support-netcdf-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (security related issues should be
submitted to security@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
Cheers!
