Configuration:
-------------
+ - Added a configure-time option to consider certain compiler warnings
+ as errors
+
+ A new configure-time option was added that converts some compiler warnings
+ to errors. This is mainly intended for library developers and currently
+ only works for gcc and clang. The warnings that are considered errors
+ will appear in the generated libhdf5.settings file. These warnings apply
+ to C and C++ code and will appear in "H5 C Flags" and H5 C++ Flags",
+ respectively. They will NOT be exported to h5cc, etc.
+
+ The default is OFF. Building with this option may fail when compiling
+ on operating systems and with compiler versions not commonly used by
+ the library developers. Compilation may also fail when headers not
+ under the control of the library developers (e.g., mpi.h, hdfs.h) raise
+ warnings.
+
+ Autotools: --enable-warnings-as-errors
+
+ CMake: HDF5_ENABLE_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS
+
+ (DER - 2020/11/23, HDFFV-11189)
+
- Autotools and CMake target added to produce doxygen generated documentation
The default is OFF or disabled.
