Version 0.8.1 (July 17, 2020):

  • Fix h5py deprecation warning in test suite.

Version 0.8.0 (February 4, 2020):

  • Support for reading Datasets with missing dimension scales. By Kai Mühlbauer.

  • Fixed a bug where Datatype objects were treated as Datasets.

  • Fixed several issues with upstream deprecations.

Version 0.7.4 (June 1, 2019):

  • Fixed a flakey test on Python 2.7 and 3.4.

Version 0.7.3 (May 20, 2019):

  • Fixed another bug that could result in reusing dimension IDs, when modifying existing files.

Version 0.7.1 (Mar 16, 2019):

  • Fixed a bug where h5netcdf could write invalid netCDF files with reused dimension IDs when dimensions are written in multiple groups. netCDF-C 4.6.2 will crash when reading these files, but you can still read these files with older versions of the netcdf library (or h5netcdf).

  • Updated to use version 2 of _NCProperties attribute.

Version 0.7 (Feb 26, 2019):

  • Support for reading and writing file-like objects (requires h5py 2.9 or newer). By Scott Henderson.

Version 0.6.2 (Aug 19, 2018):

  • Fixed a bug that prevented creating variables with the same name as previously created dimensions in reopened files.

Version 0.6.1 (Jun 8, 2018):

  • Compression with arbitrary filters no longer triggers warnings about invalid netCDF files, because this is now supported by netCDF.

Version 0.6 (Jun 7, 2018):

  • Support for reading and writing data to remote HDF5 files via the HDF5 REST API using the h5pyd package. Any file “path” starting with either http://, https://, or hdf5:// will automatically trigger the use of this package. By Aleksandar Jelenak.

Version 0.5.1 (Apr 11, 2018):

  • Bug fix for files with an unlimited dimension with no associated variables. By Aleksandar Jelenak.

Version 0.5 (Oct 17, 2017):

Version 0.4.3 (Oct 10, 2017):

  • Fix test suite failure with recent versions of netCDF4-Python.

Version 0.4.2 (Sep 12, 2017):

  • Raise AttributeError rather than KeyError when attributes are not found using the legacy API. This fixes an issue that prevented writing to h5netcdf with dask.

Version 0.4.1 (Sep 6, 2017):

  • Include tests in source distribution on pypi.

Version 0.4 (Aug 30, 2017):

  • Add invalid_netcdf argument. Warnings are now issued by default when writing an invalid NetCDF file. See the “Invalid netCDF files” section of the README for full details.

Version 0.3.1 (Sep 2, 2016):

  • Fix garbage collection issue.

  • Add missing .flush() method for groups.

  • Allow creating dimensions of size 0.

Version 0.3.0 (Aug 7, 2016):

  • Datasets are now loaded lazily. This should increase performance when opening files with a large number of groups and/or variables.

  • Support for writing arrays of variable length unicode strings with dtype=str via the legacy API.

  • h5netcdf now writes the _NCProperties attribute for identifying netCDF4 files.
