     ------
-    - None
+    - There are significant changes to the Attribute::getName member functions
+      + Removed H5std_string Attribute::getName(size_t buf_size)
+      + Overloaded Atribute::getName to take a char* for the attribute name:
+          ssize_t Attribute::getName(char* attr_name, size_t buf_size=0) 
+      + Switched the arguments in this function:
+          ssize_t getName(size_t buf_size, H5std_string& attr_name)
+        so it became:
+          ssize_t getName(H5std_string& attr_name, size_t buf_size=0)
+        The second argument is then default to 0.
+    - Changed default value from 256 to 0 for two getComment methods
+    - Applied patches from user Jason Newton, where applicable.
