+        The following items were added but not documented in previous releases:
+
+        - On windows, any application, that uses the C++ API dll, must

+          buffer with a fill value. (May 16, 2002) BMR - 2003/10/10
+        - Added the new member function getMemberIndex to H5::EnumType
+          and H5::CompType to match the new C API H5Tget_member_index.  Given
+          the name of a member of an enumeration or compound datatype, this

+          H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx:
+          + getNumObjs: Returns the number of objects in the group.

-  compiler is correct.
+* Fortran subroutine h5pget_driver_f doesn't return a correct driver information.
