+
+      h5dump would output an indented blank line in the filters section.
+
+      h5dump over used the h5tools_simple_prefix function, which is a
+      function intended to account for the data index (x,y,z) option.

+    - h5repack
+
+      h5repack incorrectly searched internal object table for name.
+
+      h5repack would search the table of objects for a name, if the
+      name did not match it tried to determine if the name without a
+      leading slash would match. The logic was flawed! The table
+      stored names(paths) without a leading slash and did a strstr
+      of the table path to the name.
+      The assumption was that if there was a difference of one then
+      it was a match, however "pressure" would match "/pressure" as
+      well as "/pressure1", "/pressure2", etc. Changed logic to remove
+      any leading slash and then do a full compare of the name.

+    - h5repack
+
+      h5repack failed to handle more then 9 chars for int conversion.
+
+      User defined filter parameter conversions would fail for integers

+    - h5diff
+
+      h5diff seg faulted if comparing VL strings against fixed strings.
+
+      Reworked solution for HDFFV-8625 and HDFFV-8639. Implemented the check
+      for string objects of same type in the diff_can_type function by
+      adding an if(tclass1 == H5T_STRING) block. This if block moves the
+      same check that was added for attributes to this function, which is
+      used by all object types. This function also handles complex type
+      structures.
+      Also added a new test file in h5diffgenttest for testing this issue
+      and removed the temporary files used in the test scripts.
