New release of PnetCDF version 1.12.0

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hello to the PnetCDF community,

The new release of PnetCDF version 1.12.0 is now available.
https://parallel-netcdf.github.io/wiki/Download.html

Here are a few noticeable changes from the previous version.
* A new optional feature is added to enable read capability of BP files.
  BP is the native file format supported by the ADIOS library,
  https://www.olcf.ornl.gov/center-projects/adios/
* A new utility program named ‘cdfdiff’ is added. It is a serial version
  of ‘ncmpidiff’ that reports the difference of two classic-format based
  NetCDF files. It can be compiled with a serial C compiler, such as gcc,
  without PnetCDF or MPI library. ‘cdfdiff’ is useful to be able to run
  on login nodes in a cross-compile environment.
* A new command-line option ‘-t' is added to utility program ‘ncmpidiff’
  to compare differences of two variables within a tolerance. The same
  option will be added to ‘cdfdiff’ in the next release.

Detailed changes from the previous release 1.11.2 can be found in
