[svn-r3327]

Purpose:
   Updating HISTORY to include Release 1.2.2.
Solution:
   Added R1.2.2 to HISTORY file (missed in transition to R1.4).
   Section headers -- made sure each section mentioned the release
       for which the section was prepared.
   Added searchable tag ('%%%%') for each section to aid navigation.
Platforms tested:
   Read the file in vi on baldric.
   Printed text file to paper with enscript.

+INTRODUCTION
+
+This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.2.1 and 
+HDF5-1.2.2, and contains information on the platforms where HDF5-1.2.2
+was tested and known problems in HDF5-1.2.2. 
+
+The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server 
+(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory:
+
+     /HDF/HDF5/docs/

+Features Added since HDF5-1.2.1
+===============================
+   * Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library and
+     H5garbage_collect API function.
+   * h5dump displays opaque and bitfield types.
+   * New features added to snapshots.  Use 'snapshot help' to see a
+     complete list of features.
+   * Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when
+     parallel mode is requested.
+
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.1
+==========================
+   * h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes, including simple and
+     nested compound types.
+   * h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types.
+   * Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32-bit
+     int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform.
+   * Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the
+     Cray J90 platform.  The error did not convert the value 0.0
+     correctly.
+   * Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" parameter
+     correctly.
+   * Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
+     correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
+     certain pattern.
+   * Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
+   * Fixed another H5Giterate bug which caused groups with large numbers
+     of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function returned
+     non-zero values.
+   * Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be
+     herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions.
+   * Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow dimensions
+     of size 0 without the same dimension being unlimited.
+   * Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to avoid
+     many hash flushes and also removed some redundant I/O when moving metadata
+     blocks in the file.
+   * The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex.
+   * The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for
+     certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound
+     types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion
+     function API.
+
+Known Problems
+==============
+
+o SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2:  hyperslab selections will 
+  fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level.
+o TFLOPS: dsets test fails if compiled with optimization turned on.
+o J90: tools fail to dispay data for the datasets with a compound datatype.
