     * Tweaked a few API functions to use 'size_t' instead of 'unsigned' or
       'hsize_t', which may cause errors in some cases.
+    * Fixed a bug of H5pubconf.h causing repeated definitions if it is included
+      more than once.  hdf5.h now includes H5public.h which includes
+      H5pubconf.h.  Applications should #include hdf5.h which handles multiple
+      inclusion correctly.
+    * Fixed H5FDmpio.h to be C++ friendly by making Parallel HDF5 API's to be
+      external to C++.
+    * Fixed a bug in H5FD_mpio_flush() that might result in negative file seek
+      if both MPIO and Split-file drivers are used together.
+    * Added new parallel hdf5 tests in t_mpi.  The new test checks if the
+      filesystem or the MPI-IO can really handle greater than 2GB files.
+      If it fails, it prints information message only without failing the
+      test.

     * Improved regular hyperslab I/O by about a factor of 6 or so.
+    * Added two simple parallel performance tests as mpi-perf.c (MPI
+      performance) and perf.c (PHDF5 performance) in testpar.
+    * Added a parallel HDF5 example examples/ph5example.c to illustrate
+      the basic way of using parallel HDF5.
+    * Added a new public macro, H5_VERS_INFO, which is a string holding
+      the HDF5 library version information.  This string is also compiled
+      into all HDF5 binary code which helps to identify the version information
+      of the binary code.  One may use the Unix strings command on the binary
+      file and looks for the pattern "HDF5 library version".
+    * Added new checking in H5check_version() to verify the five HDF5 version
+      information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE,
+      H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent.
