## netCDF-Java API Changes (5.9.x)

Point release notes:
* [5.9.0](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/releases/tag/v5.9.0){:target="_blank"} (_2025-08-08_)

The 5.9.x includes bug fixes around zarr support, scaling of projection parameters, and setting of the library path for the netCDF-C library.
Additionally, udunits grammar code is now generated at build time, HTTP errors when disambiguating http/https locations has been improved, and scanning for filter providers is done once during initialization.
Finally, several third party libraries have been upgraded.
Please see the release notes on GitHub for more details on additions, enhancements, and bug fixes.

Note: we are looking to update the minimum version of the JVM we support for the project (currently Java 8).
Please consider taking a moment to participate in the [poll on GitHub](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/discussions/1468){:target="_blank"}.

NetCDF-Java is comprised of several modules, many of which you can use within your own projects, as described [here](using_netcdf_java_artifacts.html).
NetCDF-Java comprises several modules, many of which you can use within your own projects, as described [here](using_netcdf_java_artifacts.html).
At Unidata, we publish the artifacts that those modules generate to our Nexus repository.

However, it may happen that you need artifacts for the in-development version of netCDF-Java in your local branch, which we usually don’t upload to Nexus.

For maximum compatibility, please include the Unidata repository after any other repositories, including maven central.

Next, select modules based on the functionality you need.
In the minimal case, you’ll just want `cdm-core` and a logger.
`cdm` implements the CDM data model and allows you to read NetCD-3 files (and a number of other file types).

This is the appropriate option if you’re not using a dependency management tool like Maven or Gradle and you don’t care about jar size or compatibility with other libraries. Simply include netcdfAll-${netcdfJavaVersion}.jar on the classpath when you run your program.
You’ll also need a logger.
Currently, the netcdfAll jar does not include `cdm-s3` due to the size of the AWS S3 SDK dependency, and does not include the `libaec-native` (native library binaries for libaec).
The netcdfAll jar can be found at https://downloads.unidata.ucar.edu, or (starting with `5.9.0`) on the [GitHub release page](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-java/releases).
