Library:
--------
+ - Add an enumerated value to H5F_libver_t for H5Pset_libver_bounds().
+
+ Currently, the library defines two values for H5F_libver_t and supports
+ only two pairs of (low, high) combinations as derived from these values.
+ Thus the bounds setting via H5Pset_libver_bounds() is rather restricted.
+
+ Add an enumerated value (H5F_LIBVER_V18) to H5F_libver_t and
+ H5Pset_libver_bounds() now supports five pairs of (low, high) combinations
+ as derived from these values. This addition provides the user more
+ flexibility in setting bounds for object creation.

Library
-------
+ - Freeing of object header in H5Ocache.c
+
+ It was discovered that the object header was not released properly
+ when the checksum verification failed and a re-load of the object
+ header was needed.

+ Free the object header that failed the chksum verification only
+ after the new object header is reloaded, deserialized and set up.

+ - h5clear
+
+ An enhancement to the tool in setting a file's stored EOA.
+
+ It was discovered that a crashed file's stored EOA in the superblock
+ was smaller than the actual file's EOF. When the file was reopened
+ and closed, the library truncated the file to the stored EOA.
+
+ Add an option to the tool in setting the file's stored EOA in the
+ superblock to the maximum of (EOA, EOF) + increment.
+ Another option is also added to print the file's EOA and EOF.
