No, netCDF 4.0 won't be released until this summer, probably late July
or August.  We may have a beta release available somewhat sooner than
that, and will announce it on the netcdfgroup mailing list and the web
site when it's available.

The current alpha release of netCDF-4.0 is not complete, and the
parallel I/O has not been well-tested.  We are confident it has some
problems,and it will be undergoing some testing soon.
