HDF version 4.1r3 and newer meets this requirement. The compress2
uses a newer compression algorithm used by the HDF5 library. Also,
4.1r3 has an hdp tool that can handle "loops" in Vgroups.

* Improved performance of non-contiguous hyperslabs (built up with
several hyperslab selection calls).
+ * Removed H5P(get|set)_hyper_cache API function, since the property is no
+ longer used.
+ * Added a new file access property, file close degree, to control file
+ close behavior. It has four values, H5F_CLOSE_WEAK, H5F_CLOSE_SEMI,
+ H5F_CLOSE_STRONG, and H5F_CLOSE_DEFAULT. Two correspont functions
+ H5Pset_fclose_degree and H5Pget_fclose_degree are also provided. Two
+ new functions H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids are offerted to assist
+ this new feature. For full details, please refer to the reference
+ manual under the description of H5Fcreate, H5Fopen, H5Fclose and the
+ functions mentioned above.
+ * Changed internal error handling macros to reduce code size of library by
+ about 10-20%.
+ * Added H5Rget_obj_type() API function, which performs the same functionality
+ as H5Rget_object_type(), but requires the reference type as a parameter
+ in order to correctly handle dataset region references. Moved
+ H5Rget_object_type() to be only compiled into the library when v1.4
+ compatibility is enabled.
+ * Parallel HDF5 is now supported on HP-UX 11.00 platforms.
