     o APIs
     ------
+      * F90 subroutines h5dwrite_f, h5dread_f, h5awrite_f and h5aread_f were overloaded
+        with "dims" argument to be assumed size array of type INTEGER(HSIZE_T). We 
+        recommend to use the subroutines with the new type. Module subroutines that
+        accept "dims" as INTEGER array of size 7 will be depricated in 1.6 release.

     o Performance

   o Parallel Library
   ==================
+    * Changed method for allocating chunked dataset blocks to only allocate
+      blocks that don't already exist, instead of attempting to create all the
+      blocks all the time.  This improves 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
