 New Features
 ============
 
+    * Added 'closing' parameter to VFL 'flush' callback function and H5FDflush.
+      This allows the library to indicate that the file will be closed
+      immediately following the call to 'flush' and can be used to avoid actions
+      that are duplicated in the VFL 'close' callback function.  QAK - 2002/05/20
+    * Added feature to parallel chunk allocation routine to not write fill
+      values to chunks allocated if the user has set the "fill time" to never.
+      This can improve parallel I/O performance for chunked
+      datasets.  QAK - 2002/05/17
+    * Changed method for allocating chunked dataset blocks in parallel to only
+      allocate blocks that don't already exist, instead of attempting to create
+      all the blocks all the time.  This improves parallel I/O performance for
+      chunked datasets.  QAK - 2002/05/17
+    * Allowed the call to MPI_File_sync to be avoided when the file is going to
+      immediately be closed, improving performance.  QAK - 2002/05/13
+    * Allow the metadata writes to be shared among all processes, easing the
+      burden on process 0.  QAK - 2002/05/10
     * New functions H5Glink2 and H5Gmove2 were added to allow link and move to
       be in different locations in the same file.  The old functions H5Glink 
       and H5Gmove remain valid.  SLU - 2002/04/26

         - Added aditional parameter "dims" to the h5dread/h5dwrite and
