+## 4.6.2 - TBD
+
+### 4.6.2-rc1 - October 21, 2024
+
+### Requirements
+
+* netCDF-C: 4.9.2+
+
+  Note: to enable `libzstd` support, you need to satisfy the following requirements.
+  
+  1. `libnetcdf.so` installed with `libzstd` support.
+  2. The environmental variable `HDF5_LIBRARY_PATH` needs to be specified to the same location used when installing `libnetcdf`.  This can be determined after-the-fact using `nc-config --plugindir`.
