     Configuration
     -------------
+    - CMake ConfigureChecks.cmake file now uses CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER
+
+      Some handcrafted tests in HDFTests.c has been removed and the CMake
+      CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER module has been used.
+
+      (ADB - 2020/03/24, TRILAB-24)
+
+    - Both build systems use same set of warnings flags
+
+      GNU C, C++ and gfortran warnings flags were moved to files in a config
+      sub-folder named gnu-warnings. Flags that only are available for a specific
+      version of the compiler are in files named with that version.
+      Clang C warnings flags were moved to files in a config sub-folder
+      named clang-warnings.
+      Intel C, Fortran warnings flags were moved to files in a config sub-folder
+      named intel-warnings.
+
+      There are flags in named "error-xxx" files with warnings that may
+      be promoted to errors. Some source files may still need fixes.
+
+      There are also pairs of files named "developer-xxx" and "no-developer-xxx"
+      that are chosen by the CMake option:HDF5_ENABLE_DEV_WARNINGS or the
+      configure option:--enable-developer-warnings.
+
+      In addition, CMake no longer applies these warnings for examples.
