+4.2.1		Released 2012-06-15
+
+		Ported the source distribution to successfully build
+		32- and 64-bit DLLs from source with DAP remote access
+		enabled on Windows using the MinGW/MSYS
+		environment. The resulting DLLs may be used with
+		Visual Studio.  
+		[NCF-112][NCF-54][NCF-57][NCF-65]
+
+		Implemented diskless files for both netcdf classic
+                format and extended (netcdf-4) format. For netcdf
+                classic files, diskless files also support in-memory
+                caching of disk files.  For nc_create(), diskless
+                operation performs all operations in memory and then
+                optionally persists the results to a file on close.
+                For nc_open(), diskless operation caches the file
+                in-memory, performs all operations on the memory
+                resident version and then writes all changes back to
+                the original file on close.
+		[NCF-110][NCF-109][NCF-5]
+
+		Added -w and -r options to nccopy to exploit diskless
+		files, result in large speedups for some operations, for
+		example converting unlimited dimension to fixed size
+		or rechunking files for faster access.
+
+		Added MMAP support.
+
+		Added configure flag for --disable-diskless.
+
+		Upgraded doxygen and man-page documentation for ncdump
+		and nccopy utilities, including new -w option for
+		diskless nccopy, with an example.
+		[NCF-26]
+
+		Fixed bugs in accessing fixed-length string attributes
+		and variable values from non-netCDF-4 HDF5 files.
+		[NCF-150]
+
+		Fixed bug in 64-bit offset files with large records,
+		due to large last record variable that requires more
+		than 2**32 bytes per record.  
+		[NCF-164]
 
 		Fix bug in which passing a NULL path causes netcdf to fail.
 		[NCF-173]

-		Upgraded doxygen and man-page documentation for ncdump
-		and nccopy utilities, including new -w option for
-		nccopy with an example.
-		[NCF-26]
-
-		Fixed bugs in accessing fixed-length string attributes and variable
-		values from non-netCDF-4 HDF5 files.
+		Fixed some netCDF-4 bugs with handling strings in
+		non-netCDF-4 HDF5 files.  
 		[NCF-150]

-		Fixed bug in 64-bit offset files with large records
-		due to last record variable requiring more than 2**32
-		bytes per record.
-		[NCF-164]
+		Fixed ncgen bugs in parsing and handling opaque data.

-		Implemented diskless files for both netcdf classic format
-                and extended (netcdf-4) format. For netcdf classic files,
-                diskless files also support in-memory caching of disk files.
-	        For nc_create(), diskless operation performs all operations
-		in memory and then optionally persists the results to a file.
-	        For nc_open(), diskless operation caches the file in-memory,
-		performs all operations on the memory resident version and then
-		writes all changes back to the original file.
-		[NCF-110][NCF-109][NCF-5]
+		Fixed ncdump bug, not escaping characters special to CDL
+		in enumeration labels. 
+		[NCF-169]

-		Modified ncio mechanism to support multiple ncio packages;
-		this is so that it is possible to have e.g. posixio and memio
-		operating at the same time.
+		Fixed bug reading netCDF int into a C longlong or
+		writing from longlong to external int on 32-bit
+		platforms with classic format files.  The upper 32
+		bits of the longlong were not cleared on read or used
+		on write.  
+		[NCF-171]

-		Cleanup up a bunch of lint issues (unused variables, etc).
+		Resolved some erroneous returns of BADTYPE errors and
+		RANGE errors due to conflating C memory types with
+		external netCDF types when accessing classic or 64-bit
+		offset files.  
+		[NCF-172]
+
+		Fixed bug with ncdump -t interpreting unit attribute
+		without base time as a time unit.
+		[NCF-175]
+
+		Changed port for testing remote access test server to
+		increase reliability of tests.
+
+		Modified ncio mechanism to support multiple ncio
+		packages, so that it is possible to have e.g. posixio
+		and memio operating at the same time.
+		
+		Generation of documentation is disabled by default. Use
+                --enable-doxygen to generate.
+		[NCF-168]
+
+		Added description of configure flags to installation
+		guide.
+
+		Clarified documentation of arguments to nc__open() and
+		nc__create() and their default values.
+
+		Fixed doxygen installation guide source file to
+		preserve line breaks in code and scripts.
+		[NCF-174]
+
+		Fixed some problems uncovered by building with
+		MinGW/MSYS, including temp file creation problems.
+
+		Cleaned up up a bunch of lint issues (unused
+		variables, etc) and some similar problems reported by
+		clang static analysis.
+
+		Updated and fixed pkg-config source file netcdf.pc.in
+		to work with separated netCDF language-specific
+		packages.  Also fixed nc-config to call nf-config,
+		ncxx-config, and ncxx4-config for for backward
+		compatibility with use of nc-config in current
+		Makefiles.
