     --------
+    - 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.

+      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.
