[svn-r3327]
Purpose: Updating HISTORY to include Release 1.2.2. Solution: Added R1.2.2 to HISTORY file (missed in transition to R1.4). Section headers -- made sure each section mentioned the release for which the section was prepared. Added searchable tag ('%%%%') for each section to aid navigation. Platforms tested: Read the file in vi on baldric. Printed text file to paper with enscript.

+INTRODUCTION
+
+This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.2.1 and
+HDF5-1.2.2, and contains information on the platforms where HDF5-1.2.2
+was tested and known problems in HDF5-1.2.2.
+
+The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server
+(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory:
+
+ /HDF/HDF5/docs/

+Features Added since HDF5-1.2.1
+===============================
+ * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library and
+ H5garbage_collect API function.
+ * h5dump displays opaque and bitfield types.
+ * New features added to snapshots. Use 'snapshot help' to see a
+ complete list of features.
+ * Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when
+ parallel mode is requested.
+
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.1
+==========================
+ * h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes, including simple and
+ nested compound types.
+ * h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types.
+ * Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32-bit
+ int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform.
+ * Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the
+ Cray J90 platform. The error did not convert the value 0.0
+ correctly.
+ * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" parameter
+ correctly.
+ * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
+ correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
+ certain pattern.
+ * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
+ * Fixed another H5Giterate bug which caused groups with large numbers
+ of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function returned
+ non-zero values.
+ * Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be
+ herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions.
+ * Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow dimensions
+ of size 0 without the same dimension being unlimited.
+ * Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to avoid
+ many hash flushes and also removed some redundant I/O when moving metadata
+ blocks in the file.
+ * The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex.
+ * The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for
+ certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound
+ types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion
+ function API.
+
+Known Problems
+==============
+
+o SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2: hyperslab selections will
+ fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level.
+o TFLOPS: dsets test fails if compiled with optimization turned on.
+o J90: tools fail to dispay data for the datasets with a compound datatype.
