     -----
+        - Updated to unify option name to '--enable-error-stack' for printing 
+          HDF5 error stack messages for HDF5 tools. h5ls and h5dump for now.
+          For h5ls, this replaces "-e/--errors" option, which is deprecated. 
+          Bug#2182 (JKM 2011/3/30)
+        - Fixed output for H5T_REFERENCE in h5dump. According to the BNF document
+          the output of a H5T_REFERENCE should be followed by the type;
+          <reference> ::= H5T_REFERENCE { <ref_type> }
+          <ref_type> ::= H5T_STD_REF_OBJECT | H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG
+          Previously this was only displayed if the -R option was used.
+          Bug#1725 (ADB 2011/3/28)
+        - Fix h5diff issues for #1: h5diff compared attributes correctly only 
+          when two objects have the same number of attributes and attribute 
+          names are identical, #2: didn't display useful information about 
+          attribute difference. Bug#2121 (JKM 2011/3/17)
+        - Fixed memory leak for h5diff when accessing symbolic links with 
+          --follow-symlink option. Bug#2214  (JKM 2011/3/18)
+        - Fixed memory leak for h5diff when access variable length string
+          data. Bug#2216 (JKM 2011/3/18)
+        - Fixed and improved help page for -a option of h5ls. 
+          Bug#1904 (JKM 2011/3/11)
+        - Fixed h5dump not to include attribute values in the output file when 
+          h5dump "-y -o output_file" options were used. The problem was introduced 
+          in HDF5 1.8.6 by showing data pointed by region references. (XCAO 2011/3/9)
+        - Fixed h5copy to be able to copy any object into the same HDF5 file.
+          Previously h5copy displayed error message when target file is same
+          as source file. (XCAO 2011/3/8)
+        - Fixed h5dump for skipping some values for long array type dataset on 
+          Windows. This issue only occurred on Windows due to the different 
+          return behavior from _vsnprintf() funtion. Bug#2161 (JKM 2011/3/3)
         - Fixed h5dump for skipping array indices every certain number
           when the array type dataset is relatively big. The certain number
           varies according to the size of array. Bug#2092 (JKM 2011/2/15).
