New Features
============
+ Library
+ -------
+
+ - Moved the H5DOread/write_chunk() API calls to H5Dread/write_chunk()
+
+ The functionality of the direct chunk I/O calls in the high-level
+ library has been moved to the H5D package in the main library. This
+ will allow using those functions without building the high-level
+ library. The parameters and functionality of the H5D calls are
+ identical to the H5DO calls.
+
+ The original H5DO high-level API calls have been retained, though
+ they are now just wrappers for the H5D calls. They are marked as
+ deprecated and are only available when the library is built with
+ deprecated functions. New code should use the H5D calls for this
+ reason.
+
+ As a part of this work, the following symbols from H5Dpublic.h are no
+ longer used:
+
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_FLAG_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_FILTERS_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_OFFSET_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_WRITE_DATASIZE_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_FLAG_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_OFFSET_NAME
+ H5D_XFER_DIRECT_CHUNK_READ_FILTERS_NAME
+
+ And properties with these names are no longer stored in the dataset
+ transfer property lists. The symbols are still defined in H5Dpublic.h,
+ but only when the library is built with deprecated symbols.
+
