Testing
-------
+ - Fixed a testing failure in testphdf5 on Cray machines
+
+ On some Cray machines, what appears to be a bug in Cray MPICH was causing
+ calls to H5Fis_accessible to create a 0-byte file with strange Unix
+ permissions. This was causing an H5Fdelete file deletion test in the
+ testphdf5 program to fail due to a just-deleted HDF5 file appearing to
+ still be accessible on the file system. The issue in Cray MPICH has been
+ worked around for the time being by resetting the MPI_Info object on the
+ File Access Property List used to MPI_INFO_NULL before passing it to the
+ H5Fis_accessible call.
