### 4.3.3-rc3 Released ?
* Added a failure state if the `m4` utility is not found on non-Windows systems; previously, the build would fail when it reached the point of invoking m4.
* Added an explicit check in the build systems (autotools, cmake) for the CURL-related option `CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION`. This option was introduced in libcurl version `7.21.0`. On installations which require libcurl and have this version, `CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION` will be available. Otherwise, it will not.
* Added functionality to make it easier to build `netcdf-fortran` as part of the `netcdf-c` build. This functionality is enabled at configure time by using the following **Highly Experimental** options:
* CMake: `-DENABLE_REMOTE_FORTRAN_BOOTSTRAP=ON`
* Autotools: `--enable-remote-fortran-bootstrap`
> Enabling these options creates two new make targets:
Enabling these options creates two new make targets:
~~~
$ make build-netcdf-fortran
$ make install-netcdf-fortran
~~~
* build-netcdf-fortran
* install-netcdf-fortran
These make targets are **only** valid after `make install` has been invoked. This cannot be enforced rigidly in the makefile for reasons we will expand on in the documentation, but in short: `make install` may require sudo, but using sudo will discard environmental variables required when attempting to build netcdf-fortran in this manner.

It is important to note that this is functionality is for *convenience only*. It will remain possible to build `netcdf-c` and `netcdf-fortran` manually. These make targets should hopefully suffice for the majority of our users, but for corner cases it may still be required of the user to perform a manual build.

* The pnetcdf support was not properly being used to provide mpi parallel io for netcdf-3 classic files. The wrong dispatch table was being used. [NCF-319](https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/NCF-319)
