Leanderson.

Actually, we never released a 3.0 version of netCDF.  The earliest netCDF-3 
release was version 3.3 in 1997, and the release announcement included this 
question and answer:

Q: Why is the new version named 3.3 instead of 3.0?
A: It's just a number. We made available some prereleases of netCDF-3 and 
needed to change some interfaces as the result of testing. 3.3 is the first 
version of netCDF-3 made available for general release. There will almost 
undoubtedly be follow-on versions (3.3.1, 3.3.2, ...) as we incorporate 
feedback and bug fixes into the release, but the current release has already 
undergone extensive testing.

The format did not change, so the latest version 3.6.2 (and in fact all future 
versions) will still be able to read and write older netCDF files created with 
earlier versions of the software.
