Library:
--------
+ - 4 new API functions, H5Tencode, H5Tdecode, H5Sencode, H5Sdecode were
+ added to the library. Given object ID, these functions encode and
+ decode HDF5 objects(data type and space) information into and from
+ binary buffer. SLU - 2004/07/21
+ - Modified the way how HDF5 calculates 'pixels_per_scanline' parameter for
+ SZIP compression. Now there is no restriction on the size and shape of the
+ chunk except that the total number of elements in the chunk cannot be
+ bigger than 'pixels_per_block' parameter provided by the user.
+ EIP - 2004/07/21
+ - Added support for SZIP without encoder. Added H5Zget_filter_info
+ and changed H5Pget_filter and H5Pget_filter_by_id to support this
+ change. JL/NF - 2004/06/30
+ - SZIP always uses K13 compression. This flag no longer needs to
+ be set when calling H5Pset_szip. If the flag for CHIP
+ compression is set, it will be ignored (since the two are mutually
+ exclusive). JL/NF - 2004/6/30
- A new API function H5Fget_name was added. It returns the name
