Common Data Format (CDF) Version 3.3.0
The latest version of the CDF software for Unix, Linux, VMS, Windows, and Mac OS X is now available at CDF V3.3.0.
Changes implemented in this latest version include the following:
- Added an optional process to validate data fields in a CDF when it is open. This process addresses a potential issue of library becoming vulnerable when a compromised CDF is accessed.
- A new tool, cdfvalidate, is added.
- All CDF tools, except cdfconvert, will have sanity checks.
- Added Linux running on PPC.
- Modified CDF-Java code and JNI to properly handle multi-dimensional variables in COLUMN-major file, and preserve variable's dimensionality if a non-variant dimension exists.
The complete list of changes for this and earlier versions can be found in the Release Change Note .
