 ===================================

     -------
+    - Fixed a memory corruption issue that can occur when reading
+      from a dataset using a hyperslab selection in the file
+      dataspace and a point selection in the memory dataspace
+
+      When reading from a dataset using a hyperslab selection in
+      the dataset's file dataspace and a point selection in the
+      dataset's memory dataspace where the file dataspace's "rank"
+      is greater than the memory dataspace's "rank", memory corruption
+      could occur due to an incorrect number of selection points
+      being copied when projecting the point selection onto the
+      hyperslab selection's dataspace.
