 Library
 -------
-   * Fixed bug with contiguous hyperslabs not being detected, causing
-     slower I/O than necessary.
-   * Fixed bug where non-aligned hyperslab I/O on chunked datasets was
-     causing errors during I/O
-   * The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ compiling problem
-     because when it was included multiple times, C++ did not like multiple
-     definitions of the same static variable.  All occurance of RCSID
-     definition are removed since we have not used it consistently before.

+      correctly. 
+    * Fixed build on Linux systems with --enable-static-exec flag. It now
+      works correctly.
+    * IMPORTANT: Fixed file metadata corruption bug which could cause metadata
+      data loss in certain situations.
 
 Configuration
 -------------
     * Changed the default value of $NPROCS from 2 to 3 since 3 processes
       have a much bigger chance catching parallel errors than just 2.

+    * Basic port to Compaq (nee DEC) Alpha OSF 5.

 ============
 
     * C++ API:
-	- Added two new member functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
-	  Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
-	  function, where an exception is thrown.
-	- IdComponent::operator= becomes a virtual function because DataType,
-	  DataSpace, and PropList provide their own implementation.  The new
-	  operator= functions invoke H5Tcopy, H5Scopy, and H5Pcopy to make a
-	  copy of a datatype, dataspace, and property list, respectively.

+          h5aread/h5awrite subroutines. This parameter is 1D array of size
+          7 and contains the sizes of the data buffer dimensions. 
+    * F90 static library is available on Windows platforms. See
+      INSTALL_Windows.txt for details.
