- NCO 2.0.0: (RPM available) 20010507: Switched all internal calls to netCDF 3.x API
- NCO 1.2.2: 20010211: Allow weights with `ncwa` in min/max/ttl operations; easier building with HDF4. `ncrename` can now work on specific variables rather than whole file. `ncks` has `-q` option for cleaner printing
- NCO 1.2.1: 20000828: Added type-conversion of integers to floating point before arithmetic; fixed broken `-v` option
- NCO 1.2: 20000730: Added non-linear operations to `ncra/nces` and `ncwa`: min,max,total,rms,rmssdn,sqrt. Added DODS compliance.
- NCO 1.1.48: 20000515: Potentially serious bugfix to `ncdiff`, recommend upgrade
- NCO 1.1.47: 20000510: Improved `ncra` and `ncrcat` to allow lazier specifications of input files
