-    - Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
-
-      h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
-      errors are encountered in the internal library.
-
-      Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
-      Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
-      layout and refcount.

-    - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
-      suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
-      the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
-      fault.
-
-      This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
-
-      NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
-            should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
-            or a file created by third-party software.
-
-      THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
-
-      Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
-      H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
-      which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
-      major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.

     Configuration
     -------------
+    - Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
+
+      There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
+      - Shared libs were not built.
+      - The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
+      - Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
+
+      Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
+
+      (LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
+
+    - The --enable-debug/production configure flags are listed as 'deprecated'
+      when they should really be listed as 'removed'.
+
+      In the autotools overhaul several years ago, we removed these flags and
+      implemented a new --enable-build-mode= flag. This was done because we
+      changed the semantics of the modes and didn't want users to silently
+      be exposed to them. The newer system is also more flexible and us to
+      add other modes (like 'clean').
+
+      The --enable-debug/production flags are now listed as removed.
