     Configuration
     -------------
-    - CMake minimum is now 2.8.10. (ADB 2013/1/14)
-    - A new tool, cmakehdf5, which is a build command script similar to
-      buildhdf5 is added and is available in the bin directory.

     Library
     -------
-    - The library can load filter libraries dynamically during runtime.  Users
-      can set the search path through environment variable HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH 
-      and call H5Pset_filter to enable a dynamic filter. (SLU - 2013/04/08)
-    - Added new API functions H5Dscatter and H5Dgather to scatter data to and
-      and gather data from a selection within a memory buffer.
-      (NAF - 2013/02/05)
-    - The library now supports the data conversion from enumeration to numeric
-      (integer and floating-point number) datatypes. See Issue 8221.

-    - h5dump: added new option -O or -ddl to output the ddl text to a file. This

     High-Level APIs
     ---------------
-    - A new API function, H5DOwrite_chunk.  This function writes a data chunk 
-      directly into a file, bypassing hyperslab selection, data conversion, 
-      and the filter pipeline.  The user must be careful with the function and
-      clearly understand the I/O process of the library. (SLU - 2013/2/11)

     Configuration
     -------------
-    - Configure will check the result of header searches before searching for
-      the library. 
-      Fixes HDFFV-8257 (ADB 2013/03/04)
-    - HDF does not support building SHARED Fortran libraries on OSX. Added CMake
-      code to check for this condition. 
-      Fixes HDFFV-8227 (ADB 2013/03/04)
-    - CMake builds on Windows will no longer use legacy naming for libraries, 
-      the "dll" tag will no longer be added to the name of *.lib and *.dll.
-      The option HDF_LEGACY_NAMING is now OFF by default.
-      Fixes HDFFV-8292 (ADB 2013/01/30)
+    - None
 
     Library
     -------
-    - The library now behaves correctly when performing large I/O operations on
-      Mac OS-X.  Previously, single I/O operations > 2 GB would fail since the
-      Darwin read/write calls cannot handle the number of bytes that their
-      parameter types imply.
-      Fixes HDFFV-7975 and HDFFV-8240 (DER 2013/01/07)
-    - Fixed a bug in the core VFD that cause failures when opening files > 2 GB.
-      Fixes HDFFV-8124 and HDFFV-8158 (DER 2013/01/07)
-    - Fixed a bug where unintialized memory was read during variable-length
-      type conversion.  This caused segfaults in netCDF.  Fixes HDFFV-8159.
-      (DER 2013/03/30)
-    - Removed the H5Pset/get_dxpl_multi functions from the library.  The
-      intended functionality for them was never fully implemented and they
-      have always been fundamentally broken.  NOTE: This does not affect setting
-      the multi VFD or any expected VFD functionality.  Multi VFD usage
-      remains unchanged.  Fixes HDFFV-8296.  (DER 2013/03/30)

-    - h5repack: Fixed failure for converting a layout of small chunked dataset 
-      (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.  HDFFV-8214 (JKM 2013/03/26)
-    - h5dump: Fixed displaying compression ratio for unknown or user-defined 
-      filters. HDFFV-8344 (XCAO 2013/03/19)
-    - h5dump: Changed UNKNOWN_FILTER to USER_DEFINED_FILTER for user defined filter.
-      HDFFV-8346 (XCAO 2013/03/19)
-    - h5diff: Fixed to return correct exit code 1 when detect unique extra
-      attribute. Prior to this fix, h5diff returned exit code 0 indicating 
-      two files are identical.   HDFFV-7643 (JKM 2013/02/15)
-    - h5dump: Fixed writing nulls to a binary file when exporting a dataset
-      with compound string datatype. HDFFV-8169 (ADB 2013/1/31)
-    - The following h5stat test case failed in BG/P machines (and potentially
-      other machines that display extra output if an MPI task returns with a
-      non-zero code.)
-        Testing h5stat notexist.h5
-      The test script was fixed to ignore the extra output.  HDFFV-8233 (AKC
-      - 2012/11/30)
-    - h5diff: Improved speed when comparing HDF5 files with lots of
-      attributes. Much slower performance was identified with release version 
-      from 1.8.7 to 1.8.10 compared to 1.8.6. (JKM 2012/10/19)

     F90 API
     -------
-    - The integer type of the 'offset' argument in h5pset_external_f and
-      h5pget_external_f was changed to INTEGER(KIND=OFF_T) to support 8-byte
-      integers, matching the C type definition of off_t. (MSB - 2013/3/23)

     C++ API
     ------
-    - The C++ wrappers DSetMemXferPropList::setMulti/getMulti are removed because
-      the C functions H5Pset/get_dxpl_multi functions are removed from the library.
-      Fixes HDFFV-8296 by DER.  (BMR 2013/03/30)
-    - An exception thrown by an internal function was not propagating to the
-      test program during stack unwinding, so it couldn't be caught by the
-      test and the program terminated "without an active exception."  It seemed
-      that the problem happened when c_str() was used to generate an equivalant
-      const char* from a std::string and the resulting string was passed to 
-      the internal function.  As a work-around, we added a try/catch around
-      the the call to the internal function and when the exception is caught there,
-      it is re-thrown.  Fixes HDFFV-8067.  (BMR 2013/03/30)
