+
+New Features
+============
+
+ Configuration:
+ -------------
+ - Reworked corrected path searched by CMake find_package command
+
+ The install path for cmake find_package files had been changed to use
+ "share/cmake"
+ for all platforms. However setting the HDF5_ROOT variable failed to locate
+ the configuration files. The build variable HDF5_INSTALL_CMAKE_DIR is now
+ set to the <INSTALL_DIR>/cmake folder. The location of the configuration
+ files can still be specified by the "HDF5_DIR" variable.
+
+ (ADB - 2022/02/02)
+
+ - CPack will now generate RPM/DEB packages.
+
+ Enabled the RPM and DEB CPack generators on linux. In addition to
+ generating STGZ and TGZ packages, CPack will try to package the
+ library for RPM and DEB packages. This is the initial attempt and
+ may change as issues are resolved.
+
+ (ADB - 2022/01/27)
+
+ - Added new option to the h5cc scripts produced by CMake.
+
+ Add -showconfig option to h5cc scripts to cat the
+ libhdf5.settings file to the standard output.
+
+ (ADB - 2022/01/25)
+
+ - CMake will now run the PowerShell script tests in test/ by default
+ on Windows.
+
+ The test directory includes several shell script tests that previously
+ were not run by CMake on Windows. These are now run by default.
+ If TEST_SHELL_SCRIPTS is ON and PWSH is found, the PowerShell scripts
+ will execute. Similar to the bash scripts on unix platforms.
+
+ (ADB - 2021/11/23)
+
+
+ Library:
+ --------
+ - Add a new public function, H5ESget_requests()
+
+ This function allows the user to retrieve request pointers from an event
+ set. It is intended for use primarily by VOL plugin developers.
+
+ (NAF - 2022/01/11)
+
+
+ Parallel Library:
+ -----------------
+ - Several improvements to parallel compression feature, including:
+
+ * Improved support for collective I/O (for both writes and reads)
+
+ * Significant reduction of memory usage for the feature as a whole
+
+ * Reduction of copying of application data buffers passed to H5Dwrite
+
+ * Addition of support for incremental file space allocation for filtered
+ datasets created in parallel. Incremental file space allocation is the
+ default for these types of datasets (early file space allocation is
+ also still supported), while early file space allocation is still the
+ default (and only supported at allocation time) for unfiltered datasets
+ created in parallel. Incremental file space allocation should help with
+ parallel HDF5 applications that wish to use fill values on filtered
+ datasets, but would typically avoid doing so since dataset creation in
+ parallel would often take an excessive amount of time. Since these
+ datasets previously used early file space allocation, HDF5 would
+ allocate space for and write fill values to every chunk in the dataset
+ at creation time, leading to noticeable overhead. Instead, with
+ incremental file space allocation, allocation of file space for chunks
+ and writing of fill values to those chunks will be delayed until each
+ individual chunk is initially written to.
+
+ * Addition of support for HDF5's "don't filter partial edge chunks" flag
+ (https://portal.hdfgroup.org/display/HDF5/H5P_SET_CHUNK_OPTS)
+
+ * Addition of proper support for HDF5 fill values with the feature
+
+ * Addition of 'H5_HAVE_PARALLEL_FILTERED_WRITES' macro to H5pubconf.h
+ so HDF5 applications can determine at compile-time whether the feature
+ is available
+
+ * Addition of simple examples (ph5_filtered_writes.c and
+ ph5_filtered_writes_no_sel.c) under examples directory to demonstrate
+ usage of the feature
+
+ * Improved coverage of regression testing for the feature
+
+ (JTH - 2022/2/23)

+Support for new platforms, languages and compilers
+==================================================
+ - None
+
+
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.13.0 release
+===================================
+ Library
+ -------
+ - Fixed a metadata cache bug when resizing a pinned/protected cache entry
+
+ When resizing a pinned/protected cache entry, the metadata
+ cache code previously would wait until after resizing the
+ entry to attempt to log the newly-dirtied entry. This
+ caused H5C_resize_entry to mark the entry as dirty and made
+ H5AC_resize_entry think that it didn't need to add the
+ newly-dirtied entry to the dirty entries skiplist.
+
+ Thus, a subsequent H5AC__log_moved_entry would think it
+ needed to allocate a new entry for insertion into the dirty
+ entry skip list, since the entry didGn't exist on that list.
+ This caused an assertion failure, as the code to allocate a
+ new entry assumes that the entry is not dirty.
+
+ (JRM - 2022/02/28)
+
+ - Issue #1436 identified a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the
+ H5check_version function.
+
+ Investigating the original fix, #812, we discovered some inconsistencies
+ with a new block added to check H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatibilities.
+ This new block was not using the new warning text dealing with the
+ H5_VERS_RELEASE check and would cause the warning to be duplicated.
+
+ By removing the H5_VERS_RELEASE argument in the first check for
+ H5_VERS_MAJOR and H5_VERS_MINOR, the second check would only check
+ the H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatible release versions. This adheres
+ to the statement that except for the develop branch, all release versions
+ in a major.minor maintenance branch should be compatible. The prerequisite
+ is that an application will not use any APIs not present in all release versions.
+
+ (ADB - 2022/02/24, #1438)
+
+ - Unified handling of collective metadata reads to correctly fix old bugs
+
+ Due to MPI-related issues occurring in HDF5 from mismanagement of the
+ status of collective metadata reads, they were forced to be disabled
+ during chunked dataset raw data I/O in the HDF5 1.10.5 release. This
+ wouldn't generally have affected application performance because HDF5
+ already disables collective metadata reads during chunk lookup, since
+ it is generally unlikely that the same chunks will be read by all MPI
+ ranks in the I/O operation. However, this was only a partial solution
+ that wasn't granular enough.
+
+ This change now unifies the handling of the file-global flag and the
+ API context-level flag for collective metadata reads in order to
+ simplify querying of the true status of collective metadata reads. Thus,
+ collective metadata reads are once again enabled for chunked dataset
+ raw data I/O, but manually controlled at places where some processing
+ occurs on MPI rank 0 only and would cause issues when collective
+ metadata reads are enabled.
+
+ (JTH - 2021/11/16, HDFFV-10501/HDFFV-10562)
+
+ - Fixed several potential MPI deadlocks in library failure conditions
+
+ In the parallel library, there were several places where MPI rank 0
+ could end up skipping past collective MPI operations when some failure
+ occurs in rank 0-specific processing. This would lead to deadlocks
+ where rank 0 completes an operation while other ranks wait in the
+ collective operation. These places have been rewritten to have rank 0
+ push an error and try to cleanup after the failure, then continue to
+ participate in the collective operation to the best of its ability.
+

+Known Problems
+==============

+ for the p field of the hvl_t struct. A fix is in progress for this.
+ HDFFV-10840
+
+ CMake files do not behave correctly with paths containing spaces.
+ Do not use spaces in paths because the required escaping for handling spaces
+ results in very complex and fragile build files.
+ ADB - 2019/05/07
+
+ At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
+ applications. Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
+ images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
+ if one or more processes do not participate.
+
+ CPP ptable test fails on both VS2017 and VS2019 with Intel compiler, JIRA
+ issue: HDFFV-10628. This test will pass with VS2015 with Intel compiler.
+
+ The subsetting option in ph5diff currently will fail and should be avoided.
+ The subsetting option works correctly in serial h5diff.
+
+ Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
+ in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
+ help@hdfgroup.org.
+
+
+CMake vs. Autotools installations
+=================================
+While both build systems produce similar results, there are differences.
+Each system produces the same set of folders on linux (only CMake works
+on standard Windows); bin, include, lib and share. Autotools places the
+COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in
+the share folder.
+
+The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
+creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools
+installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration
+option.
+ build scripts
+ -------------
+ Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc
+ CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc
+
+The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake
+places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders,
+while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because
+CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in
+the include folder.
+
+The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig
+subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by
+the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by
+creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake
+installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different
+between the build systems.
+
+The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include
+a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support
+for the HDF5 Examples CMake project.
+
+The issues with the gif tool are:
+ HDFFV-10592 CVE-2018-17433
+ HDFFV-10593 CVE-2018-17436
+ HDFFV-11048 CVE-2020-10809
+These CVE issues have not yet been addressed and can be avoided by not building
+the gif tool. Disable building the High-Level tools with these options:
+ autotools: --disable-hltools
