-    - cmake default options changed to align with autotools configure defaults.
-      (ADB - 2015/04/01 HDFFV-8074)
-      
-    - cmake minimum changed to 3.1.
-      (ADB - 2015/04/01 HDFFV-9006)
-      
-    - cmakehdf5: configure options added to enable or disable the building of
-      different API's and testings. See "cmakehdf5 --help" for details.
-      (AKC - 2014/12/09 HDFFV-8932)
-
-    - Remove restriction for building shared when parallel is
-      enabled. --disable-shared has to be used explicitly if user wishes to
-      disable shared libraries.
-      (MSC - 2015/02/19 HDFFV-9069)
-
-    - Remove infering parallel compilers to enable
-      parallel. --enable-parallel has to be used explicitly to build
-      parallel HDF5 regardless of the compiler type being used.
-      (MSC - 2015/02/19 HDFFV-9068)
-
-    - Remove option to enable or disable large file support. It will
-      always be enabled.
-      (MSC - 2015/02/19 HDFFV-9097)
-
-    - Removed configuration feature
-
-      When configure detected that the CodeWarrior compiler was being used it
-      would define a symbol that caused a test in test/tfile.c to be skipped
-      due to a broken CodeWarrior open() command.
-
-      Since this only masks the problem instead of fixing it and we don't
-      support CodeWarrior anyway, this functionality was removed.
-
-      (DER - 2015/02/21, HDFFV-9080)
-
-    - VMS build/test files have been removed
-
-      HDF5 no longer supports VMS and the files were getting out of date.
-      Since we have no access to a VMS machine, there is no way for us to
-      maintain them.
-
-      A Subversion tag was created at:
-
-        https://svn.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/tags/vms_last_support_1_8
-
-      immediately before removing the files.
-
-      (DER - 2015-02-26, HDFFV-9147)
-
-    - Removal of --with-default-vfd configure option
-
-      In theory, this option was intended to allow setting a default
-      VFD that would be used by the library. In practice, the feature
-      only accepted the POSIX (SEC2) VFD (already the default) and
-      the stdio VFD (a demo VFD not intended for production use). The
-      inability to pass key VFD parameters at configure time limits the
-      full implementation of this feature, so it was retired.
-
-      (DER - 2015-02-26, HDFFV-9081)
-
-    - Direct VFD configure behavior
-
-      The configure options for Linux now allow the direct VFD to built
-      without passing additional compiler options/defines like _GNU_SOURCE.
-      Passing --enable-direct-vfd is now all that is needed to enable
-      the feature.
-
-      The direct VFD is now disabled by default since it is intended for
-      specialized audiences. It was previously enabled by default, but the
-      configure script did not set correct POSIX levels, etc. making this
-      a moot point.
-
-      Note that the direct VFD can only be configured on Linux when
-      the O_DIRECT flag to open()/create() and posix_memalign() function
-      are available. This is unchanged from previous behavior.
-
-      (DER - 2015-02-26, HDFFV-9057, 7567, 9088, 7566)
-
-    - _POSIX_C_SOURCE, _GNU_SOURCE, and _BSD_SOURCE no longer exported to
-      h5cc and other compiler wrappers.
 
-      These definitions are not required for using API functions and may
-      conflict with user code requirements.
-
-      (DER - 2015-03-08, HDFFV-9152)
-
-    - Removed the --enable-filters option from configure.
-
-      This option allowed the user to disable selected internal filters,
-      presumably to make the library smaller. It has been removed since
-      it saved little space (the internal filters are small with respect
-      to the overall library size) and was not generally extendible to
-      the library at large due to the large number of #ifdefs that would
-      be required.
-
-      Note that this features applied to internal filters such as suffle
-      and n-bit, not external filters like gzip or szip. Those are still
-      enabled or disabled via their own configure options.
-
-      (DER - 2015-03-08, HDFFV-9086)
-
-    - Removed obsolete time functionality from configure and C library
-
-      The library contained some residual functionality from obsolete
-      time zone handling code. This has been removed and the configure
-      checks for the time functions have been cleaned up.
-
-      * Lumped all the time functionality together in configure.ac.
-        This was previously more spread out due to Solaris issues
-        with the ordering of certain checks.
-
-      * Removes processing that handles __tm_gmtoff members of struct
-        tm. (libc-4)
-
-      * Removes BSDgettimeofday(). (IRIX 5.3)
-
-      * Removes timezone struct handling in gettimeofday(). (considered
-        harmful)
-
-      Note that the HDF5 library stores timestamps in a platform-independent
-      manner, so old files can still be read. This only affects convering
-      system time to HDF5 timestamps.
-
-      The library currently uses the tm_gmtoff member of the tm struct
-      (preferred, if available) or the timezone global variable to
-      construct HDF5 timestamps.
-
-      (DER - 2015-03-09, HDFFV-9083 and 9085)
-
-    - Added -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE to CPPFLAGS on Linux systems. This is the
-      replacement for -D_BSD_SOURCE in versions of glibc since 2.19. Since both
-      are defined, it should work for all versions of glibc. Defining both
-      suppresses the warning about defining _BSD_SOURCE.
-
-      (NAF - 2015-04-02, HDFFV-9079)
 
     Library
     -------
-    - Added memory allocation functions that use the library's allocator.
-
-      HDF5 filters may need to allocate or resize the buffer that is passed
-      to them from the library. If the filter has been compiled separately
-      from the library, it and the library may use different memory
-      allocation libraries for the (re)allocation and free calls. This can
-      cause heap corruption and crashes. This is particularly a problem on
-      Windows since each C run-time library is implemented as a separate
-      shared library, but can also show up on POSIX systems when debug or
-      high-performance allocation libraries are in use.
-
-      Two new functions (H5allocate_memory() and H5resize_memory()) were
-      added to the HDF5 C library. These functions have the same semantics as
-      malloc/calloc and realloc, respectively. Their primary purpose is to
-      allow filter authors to allocate or resize memory using the same
-      memory allocation library as the HDF5 library. Filter authors are
-      highly encouraged to use these new functions in place of malloc,
-      calloc, and realloc. They should also use the H5free_memory() call when
-      freeing memory.
-
-      Note that the filters provided with the library (zlib, szip, etc.) do
-      not experience the problems that these new functions are intended to
-      fix. This work only applies to third-party filters that are compiled
-      separately from the library.
-
-      (DER - 2015-04-01, HDFFV-9100)
- 
-    - Modified H5Pset_istore_k and H5Pset_sym_k functions to validate the ik
-      value to not exceed the max v1 btree entries (2 bytes).
-      The functions didn't check the value of ik. When 2*ik exceeded 2 bytes
-      storage, data was lost in the file, e.g., some chunks would be
-      overwritten.  
-
-      (VC - 2015-03-24, HDFFV-9173)
+    - 
+      (XYZ - YYYY/MM/DD HDFFV-####)
 
-    - Added functions to control the value of H5PL_no_plugin_g without using an
-      environment variable.
-      
-      Sometimes it is necessary for an application to disable the use of dynamically
-      loaded plugin libraries without requiring the library to built with plugin
-      support disabled or to set an environment variable to disable plugin support 
-      globally.
-      
-      Two new functions (H5PLset_loading_state() and H5PLget_loading_state())
-      were added to the HDF5 C library. These functions require a parameter that
-      indicates which type of dynamically loaded plugin is enabled or disabled.
-      
-      (ADB - 2015-03-17, HDFFV-8520)
       
     Parallel Library
     ----------------
-    - Attached an attribute destroy callback to MPI_COMM_SELF that
-      shuts down the HDF5 library when MPI_COMM_SELF is destroyed,
-      i.e. on MPI_Finalize. This should fix several issues that users
-      see when they forget to close HDF5 objects before calling
-      MPI_Finalize().

     Configuration
     -------------
-    - Windows installer incorrect display of PATH environment variable.
+    -
     
-      In the Windows installer, the dialog box where the user can elect to
-      add the product's bin path to the %PATH% environment variable displayed
-      an incorrect path. This path was missing the C:\Program Files part
-      and used the POSIX file separator '/' before the bin (<path>/bin,
-      instead of <path>\bin).
-      
-      The dialog box text was changed to simply say that the product's bin
-      path would be added instead of explicitly displaying the path.
-      This is in line with most installers. The reason for not fixing the 
-      displayed path instead is that it is difficult to pass the correct
-      path from CPack to the NSIS installer for display.
-
-      Note that this was never a code issue - it was just a display
-      problem. The installer always did the right thing when updating the
-      environment variable.

-    - Fixed compile errors on Windows w/ Visual Studio and CMake when
-      UNICODE is defined.
+    - 
+      (XYZ - YYYY/MM/DD HDFFV-####)
     
-      The HDF5 library could not be built on Windows with Visual Studio when
-      UNICODE was defined. This was due to incorrect use of the TEXT() macro
-      and some Win32 API functions that take TCHAR parameters. The faulty
-      code was a part of the filter plugin functionality. This was a
-      compile-time error that only affected users who build HDF5 from source
-      and define UNICODE, usually when HDF5 is being built as a part of a
-      larger product. There were no run-time effects.
-      
-      These errors caused no problems when UNICODE was not defined. HDF5 is
-      normally not built with UNICODE defined and the binaries were
-      unaffected.
-      
-      The fix was to remove the TEXT() macro and explicitly use the
-      'A' form of the Win32 API calls, which expect char strings instead of
-      wchar_t strings.
-      
-      Note that HDF5 currently does not support Unicode file paths on Windows.

-    - Addition of error tracing functionality to several C API calls
-
-      A bug in a text processing script caused API calls that return a
-      pointer to not receive error tracing macros/functionality.
-
-      The bug has been corrected and error tracing functionality has been
-      added to the affected API calls. These functions will now correctly
-      print trace information when library errors are encountered.

-    - H5Rdereference now checks for HADDR_UNDEF or uninitialized references
-
-      When passed HADDR_UNDEF or uninitialized references, the previous behavior of 
-      H5Rdereference was to continue to process the reference as a valid address. 
-      H5Rdereference was changed to return immediately (with an error message)
-      if the references are HADDR_UNDEF or uninitialized.

-    - ISSUE: h5tenum_insert_f does not work with default 8 byte integers (xlf compiler)
+    - 
+      (XYZ - YYYY/MM/DD HDFFV-####)
       
-      * In the Fortran 90 API, 'value' is no longer cast into the C int type. Therefore, if
-        h5tenum_insert_f is passed an 8 byte integer (via -i8) then 'value' is written as 
-	the same type as the default Fortran integer type (which can be 8 bytes).
-
-      * A new Fortran 2003 API was added which is more in line with the C API and users are strongly 
-        encouraged to use the Fortran 2003 API instead of the Fortran 90 API.
-
-	SUBROUTINE h5tenum_insert_f(type_id, name, value, hdferr)
- 	 INTEGER(HID_T)  , INTENT(IN) :: type_id

-    - ISSUE: The following Fortran APIs never returned the error state (i.e. the APIs
-      always returned a positive number), they were corrected to return a negative number as
-      described in the Reference Manual if an error occurred:
-
-        h5fget_file_image_f
-        h5lget_name_by_idx_f
-        h5oget_comment_by_name_f

-
-    - ISSUE: h5pget_class_f is an ill-functioning API
-
-      h5pget_class_f never correlated the class identifier to the property list class name (as indicated
-      in the HDF5 Reference Manual), but instead returned a property list class identifier as a INTEGER.
-      However, the INTEGER needed to be of type INTEGER(HID_T) to be correct.
-
-      RESOLUTION: the h5pget_class_f API was changed to return an INTEGER(HID_T) property list class 
-      identifier instead of an INTEGER. This mimics the intended behavior of the C API.
