+Release information for parallel HDF5
+-------------------------------------
+
++) Current release supports independent access to fixed dimension datasets
+ only.
+
++) The comm and info arguments of H5Pset_mpi are not used. All parallel
+ I/O are done via MPI_COMM_WORLD. Access_mode for H5Pset_mpi can be
+ H5ACC_INDEPENDENT only.
+
++) This release of parallel HDF5 has been tested on IBM SP2 and SGI
+ Origin 2000 systems. It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface
+ for parallel I/O supports.
+
++) Useful URL's.
+ Parallel HDF webpage: "http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Parallel_HDF/"
+ ROMIO webpage: "http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/thakur/romio/"
+
++) Some to-do items for future releases
+ support for Intel Teraflop platform.
+ support for unlimited dimension datasets.
+ support for file access via a communicator besides MPI_COMM_WORLD.
+ support for collective access to datasets.
+ support for independent create/open of datasets.
