netCDF-C 4.4.1.1

This is the official release of netCDF-C 4.4.1.1. This is a maintenance release which contains several important bug fixes. The Unidata/netCDF team recommend migrating to netCDF 4.4.1.1 as soon as is possible to avoid a potential, albeit rare, data loss issue in ncgen (as described below or detailed at #323).

Changes from version 4.4.1

Below is a list of notable changes from the previous release.

• [Bug] Fixed an issue where ncgen would potentially crash or write incorrect netCDF4 binary data under very specific circumstances. This bug did not affect data written on 32-bit systems or by using the netCDF library; it was specific to ncgen. This would only happen when writing a compound data type containing an 8-byte data type followed by a 4-byte data type and the 4-byte data type was not properly aligned; this would possibly result in incorrect padding. This did not affect 32-bit systems, or data written directly by the library. See GitHub #323 for more information.
• [Documentation] Updated documentation related to netCDF variable names and DAP2 access to reflect the undefined behavior potentially observed when DAP2 reserved keywords are used as netCDF variable names. See GitHub #308 for more information.
• [Bug] Fixed an issue with nc_inq_type() not returning proper value in some circumstances. See GitHub #317 for more information.
• [Bug] Corrected an issue related to test failures when --disable-utilities or -DENABLE_UTILITIES=OFF are specified when building with autotools or cmake, respectively. See GitHub #313 for more information.
• [Bug][Enhancement] Corrected a behavioral issue with the _NCProperties attribute taking up too much space. See GitHub #300 and GitHub #301 for more information.
• [Bug] Corrected behavior for nc-config so that, if nf-config is found in system, the proper fortran-related information will be conveyed. See [GitHub #296](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-c/issues/296] for more information.
