Library
-------
- - Corrected bugs in H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and
- H5Gget_objtype_by_idx to allow them to accept location IDs, not just
- group IDs. QAK - 2003/08/21
- - Corrected bug when using scalar dataspace for memory selection and
- operating on chunked dataset. QAK - 2003/08/18
- - Corrected bugs with multiple '/' characters in names for H5Glink
- and H5Gunlink. QAK - 2003/08/16
- - Corrected bug with user blocks that didn't allow a user block to
- be inserted in front of a file after the file was created.
- QAK - 2003/08/13
- - Corrected errors with using point selections to access data in
- chunked datasets. QAK - 2003/07/23
- - Corrected error with variable-length datatypes and chunked datasets
- caused H5Dwrite to fail sometimes. QAK - 2003/07/19
- - Modified library and file format to support storing indexed storage
- (chunked dataset) B-tree's with non-default internal 'K' values.
- QAK - 2003/07/15
- - Returned H5T_BKG_TEMP support to library after it was accidentally
- removed. QAK - 2003/07/14
+ - Corrected bug in variable-length string handling which could
+ generate a core dump on writing variable-length strings as part
+ of a compound datatype on certain architectures. QAK - 2003/08/25

+ the size of certain compound datatypes and also incorrectly
+ compute the offset of the last field for those compound datatypes.
