* Fix problem when defining scalar variables with netcdf-4.7.4
Version 2.1-1, 2019-10-18
* Remove automatic handling of fill values in user-defined types
* Link rwinlib libraries by pathname to fix r-hub Windows builds
* Correct quoting of external software names in DESCRIPTION

Version 2.0-3, 2019-10-05
* Support NetCDF-4 features for reading and writing of datasets.
* Suggest bit64 package for NC_INT64 and NC_UINT64 types.
* Drop support for netcdf-3.x library, require netcdf-4.x.
* Drop support for udunits-1 library.
* Disable calendar functions if udunits-2.x is not found during build.
The canonical form [1] of an R package Makefile includes the
following:
- The first stanza includes R_PKGNAME, R_PKGVER, PKGREVISION (as
needed), and CATEGORIES.
- HOMEPAGE is not present but defined in math/R/Makefile.extension to
refer to the CRAN web page describing the package. Other relevant
web pages are often linked from there via the URL field.
This updates all current R packages to this form, which will make
regular updates _much_ easier, especially using pkgtools/R2pkg.

An R interface to the NetCDF file format designed by Unidata for
efficient storage of array-oriented scientific data and descriptions.
The R interface is closely based on the C API of the NetCDF library,
and it includes calendar conversions from the Unidata UDUNITS library.
The current implementation supports all operations on NetCDF datasets
in classic and 64-bit offset file formats, and NetCDF4-classic format
is supported for reading and modification of existing files.
