+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.
+
+      (DER - 2018/05/04)
+
+    Configuration:
+    -------------
+    - Add missing USE_110_API_DEFAULT option.
+
+      Option USE_110_API_DEFAULT sets the default version of
+      versioned APIs. The bin/makevers perl script did not set
+      the maxidx variable correctly when the 1.10 branch was
+      created. This caused the versioning process to always use
+      the latest version of any API.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/08/17, HDFFV-10552)
+
+    - Added configuration checks for the following MPI functions:
+
+      MPI_Mprobe - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
+      MPI_Imrecv - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
+
+      MPI_Get_elements_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
+      MPI_Type_size_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
+
+      (JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
+
+    - Added section to the libhdf5.settings file to indicate
+      the status of the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
+      features.
+
+      (JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
+
+    - Add option to execute swmr shell scripts from CMake.
+
+      Option TEST_SHELL_SCRIPTS redirects processing into a
+      separate ShellTests.cmake file for UNIX types. The tests
+      execute the shell scripts if a SH program is found.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/07/16)
+
+
+    C++ Library:
+    ------------
+    - New wrappers
+
+      Added the following items:
+
+      + Class DSetAccPropList for the dataset access property list.
+
+      + Wrapper for H5Dget_access_plist to class DataSet
+        // Gets the access property list of this dataset.
+        DSetAccPropList getAccessPlist() const;
+
+      + Wrappers for H5Pset_chunk_cache and H5Pget_chunk_cache to class DSetAccPropList
+        // Sets the raw data chunk cache parameters.
+        void setChunkCache(size_t rdcc_nslots, size_t rdcc_nbytes, double rdcc_w0)
+
+        // Retrieves the raw data chunk cache parameters.
+        void getChunkCache(size_t &rdcc_nslots, size_t &rdcc_nbytes, double &rdcc_w0)
+
+      + New operator!= to class DataType (HDFFV-10472)
+        // Determines whether two datatypes are not the same.
+        bool operator!=(const DataType& compared_type)
+
+      + Wrappers for H5Oget_info2, H5Oget_info_by_name2, and H5Oget_info_by_idx2
+        (HDFFV-10458)
+
+        // Retrieves information about an HDF5 object.
+        void getObjinfo(H5O_info_t& objinfo, unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC) const;
+
+        // Retrieves information about an HDF5 object, given its name.
+        void getObjinfo(const char* name, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
+                unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
+                const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
+        void getObjinfo(const H5std_string& name, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
+                unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
+                const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
+
+        // Retrieves information about an HDF5 object, given its index.
+        void getObjinfo(const char* grp_name, H5_index_t idx_type,
+                H5_iter_order_t order, hsize_t idx, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
+                unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
+                const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;
+        void getObjinfo(const H5std_string& grp_name, H5_index_t idx_type,
+                H5_iter_order_t order, hsize_t idx, H5O_info_t& objinfo,
+                unsigned fields = H5O_INFO_BASIC,
+                const LinkAccPropList& lapl = LinkAccPropList::DEFAULT) const;

+
+
+    Java Library:
+    ----------------
+    - Java HDFLibraryException class
+
+      Change parent class from Exception to RuntimeException.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/07/30, HDFFV-10534)
+
+    - JNI Read and Write
+
+      Refactored variable-length functions, H5DreadVL and H5AreadVL,
+      to correct dataset and attribute reads. New write functions,
+      H5DwriteVL and H5AwriteVL, are under construction.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/06/02, HDFFV-10519)
+
+
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.2 release
+==================================
+
+    Library
+    -------
+    - Performance issue with H5Oget_info
+
+      H5Oget_info family of routines retrieves information for an object such
+      as object type, access time, number of attributes, and storage space etc.
+      Retrieving all such information regardless is an overkill and causes
+      performance issue when doing so for many objects.
+
+      Add an additional parameter "fields" to the the H5Oget_info family of routines
+      indicating the type of information to be retrieved.  The same is done to
+      the H5Ovisit family of routines which recursively visits an object
+      returning object information in a callback function.  Both sets of routines
+      are versioned and the corresponding compatibility macros are added.
+
+      The version 2 names of the two sets of routines are:
+        (1) H5Oget_info2, H5Oget_info_by_idx2, H5Oget_info_by_name2
+        (2) H5Ovisit2, H5Ovisit_by_name2
+
+      (VC - 2018/08/15, HDFFV-10180)
+
+    - Test failure due to metadata size in test/vds.c
+
+      The size of metadata from test_api_get_ex_dcpl() in test/vds.c is not as expected
+      because the latest format should be used when encoding the layout for VDS.
+
+      Set the latest format in a temporary fapl and pass the setting to the routines that
+      encode the dataset selection for VDS.
+
+      (VC - 2018/08/14 HDFFV-10469)
+
+    - Java HDF5LibraryException class
+
+      The error minor and major values would be lost after the
+      constructor executed.
+
+      Created two local class variables to hold the values obtained during
+      execution of the constructor. Refactored the class functions to retrieve
+      the class values rather then calling the native functions.
+      The native functions were renamed and called only during execution
+      of the constructor.
+      Added error checking to calling class constructors in JNI classes.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/08/06, HDFFV-10544)
+
+    - Added checks of the defined MPI_VERSION to guard against usage of
+      MPI-3 functions in the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
+      features when HDF5 is built with MPI-2. Previously, the configure
+      step would pass but the build itself would fail when it could not
+      locate the MPI-3 functions used.
+
+      As a result of these new checks, HDF5 can again be built with MPI-2,
+      but the Parallel Compression feature will be disabled as it relies
+      on the MPI-3 functions used.
+
+      (JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
+
+    - User's patches: CVEs
+
+      The following patches have been applied:
+
+      CVE-2018-11202 - NULL pointer dereference was discovered in
+                       H5S_hyper_make_spans in H5Shyper.c (HDFFV-10476)

+
+      CVE-2018-11204 - A NULL pointer dereference was discovered in
+                       H5O__chunk_deserialize in H5Ocache.c (HDFFV-10478)
+        https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-11204
+        https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2018-11204
+
+      CVE-2018-11206 - An out of bound read was discovered in
+                       H5O_fill_new_decode and H5O_fill_old_decode in H5Ofill.c
+                       (HDFFV-10480)

+        https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2018-11206
+
+      CVE-2018-11207 - A division by zero was discovered in
+                       H5D__chunk_init in H5Dchunk.c  (HDFFV-10481)
+        https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-11207
+        https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=3DCVE-2018-11207
+
+      (BMR - 2018/7/22, PR#s: 1134 and 1139,
+       HDFFV-10476, HDFFV-10477, HDFFV-10478, HDFFV-10480, HDFFV-10481)
+
+    - H5Adelete
+
+      H5Adelete failed when deleting the last "large" attribute that
+      is stored densely via fractal heap/v2 b-tree.
+
+      After removing the attribute, update the ainfo message.  If the
+      number of attributes goes to zero, remove the message.
+
+      (VC - 2018/07/20, HDFFV-9277)
+
+    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused partial
+      parallel reads of filtered datasets to return incorrect data. The
+      library used the incorrect dataspace for each chunk read, causing
+      the selection used in each chunk to be wrong.
+
+      The bug was not caught during testing because all of the current
+      tests which do parallel reads of filtered data read all of the data
+      using an H5S_ALL selection. Several tests were added which exercise
+      partial parallel reads.
+
+      (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
+
+    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused parallel
+      writes of filtered datasets to trigger an assertion failure in the
+      file free space manager.
+
+      This occurred when the filter used caused chunks to repeatedly shrink
+      and grow over the course of several dataset writes. The previous chunk
+      information, such as the size of the chunk and the offset in the file,
+      was being cached and not updated after each write, causing the next write
+      to the chunk to retrieve the incorrect cached information and run into
+      issues when reallocating space in the file for the chunk.
+
+      (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10509)
+
+    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused the
+      H5D__mpio_array_gatherv() function to allocate too much memory.
+
+      When the function is called with the 'allgather' parameter set
+      to a non-true value, the function will receive data from all MPI
+      ranks and gather it to the single rank specied by the 'root'
+      parameter. However, the bug in the function caused memory for
+      the received data to be allocated on all MPI ranks, not just the
+      singular rank specified as the receiver. In some circumstances,
+      this would cause an application to fail due to the large amounts
+      of memory being allocated.
+
+      (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
+
+    - Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
+
+      h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
+      errors are encountered in the internal library.
+
+      Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
+      Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
+      layout and refcount.
+
+      (VC - 2018/07/11, HDFFV-10333)
+
+    - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
+      suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
+      the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
+      fault.
+
+      This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
+
+      NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
+            should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
+            or a file created by third-party software.
+
+      THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
+
+      Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
+      H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
+      which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
+      major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.
+
+      (DER - 2018/02/26, HDFFV-10356)
+
+
+    Configuration
+    -------------
+    - Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
+
+      There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
+      - Shared libs were not built.
+      - The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
+      - Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
+
+      Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
+
+      (LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
+
+    - The --enable-debug/production configure flags are listed as 'deprecated'
+      when they should really be listed as 'removed'.
+
+      In the autotools overhaul several years ago, we removed these flags and
+      implemented a new --enable-build-mode= flag. This was done because we
+      changed the semantics of the modes and didn't want users to silently
+      be exposed to them. The newer system is also more flexible and us to
+      add other modes (like 'clean').
+
+      The --enable-debug/production flags are now listed as removed.
+
+      (DER - 2018/05/31, HDFFV-10505)
+
+    - Moved the location of gcc attribute.
+
+      The gcc attribute(no_sanitize), named as the macro HDF_NO_UBSAN,
+      was located after the function name. Builds with GCC 7 did not
+      indicate any problem, but GCC 8 issued errors. Moved the
+      attribute before the function name, as required.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/05/22, HDFFV-10473)
+
+    - Reworked java test suite into individual JUnit tests.
+
+      Testing the whole suite of java unit tests in a single JUnit run
+      made it difficult to determine actual failures when tests would fail.
+      Running each file set of tests individually, allows individual failures
+      to be diagnosed easier. A side benefit is that tests for optional components
+      of the library can be disabled if not configured.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/05/16, HDFFV-9739)
+
+    - Converted CMake global commands ADD_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
+      to use target_* type commands. This change modernizes the CMake usage
+      in the HDF5 library.
+
+      In addition, there is the intention to convert to generator expressions,
+      where possible. The exception is Fortran FLAGS on Windows Visual Studio.
+      The HDF macros TARGET_C_PROPERTIES and TARGET_FORTRAN_PROPERTIES have
+      been removed with this change in usage.
+
+      The additional language (C++ and Fortran) checks have also been localized
+      to only be checked when that language is enabled.
+
+      (ADB - 2018/05/08)
+
+
+    Performance
+    -------------
+    - Revamped internal use of DXPLs, improving performance
+
+      (QAK - 2018/05/20)
+
+
+    Fortran
+    --------
+    - Fixed issue with h5fget_obj_count_f and using a file id of H5F_OBJ_ALL_F not
+      returning the correct count.
+
+      (MSB - 2018/5/15, HDFFV-10405)
+
+
+    C++ APIs
+    --------
+    - Adding default arguments to existing functions
+
+      Added the following items:
+      + Two more property list arguments are added to H5Location::createDataSet:
+        const DSetAccPropList& dapl = DSetAccPropList::DEFAULT
+        const LinkCreatPropList& lcpl = LinkCreatPropList::DEFAULT
+
+      + One more property list argument is added to H5Location::openDataSet:
+        const DSetAccPropList& dapl = DSetAccPropList::DEFAULT
+
+      (BMR - 2018/07/21, PR# 1146)
+
+    - Improvement C++ documentation
+
+      Replaced the table in main page of the C++ documentation from mht to htm format
+      for portability.

+Known Problems
+==============
+
+    At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
+    applications.  Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
+    images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
+    if one or more processes do not participate.
+
+    Three tests fail with OpenMPI 3.0.0/GCC-7.2.0-2.29:
+        testphdf5 (ecdsetw, selnone, cchunk1, cchunk3, cchunk4, and actualio)
+        t_shapesame (sscontig2)
+        t_pflush1/fails on exit
+    The first two tests fail attempting collective writes.
+
+    Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
+    in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
+    help@hdfgroup.org.
+
+
+CMake vs. Autotools installations
+=================================
+While both build systems produce similar results, there are differences.
+Each system produces the same set of folders on linux (only CMake works
+on standard Windows); bin, include, lib and share. Autotools places the
+COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in
+the share folder.
+
+The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake
+creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools
+installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration
+option.
+  build scripts
+  -------------
+  Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc
+  CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc
+
+The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake
+places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders,
+while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because
+CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in
+the include folder.
+
+The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig
+subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by
+the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by
+creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake
+installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different
+between the build systems.
+
+The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include
+a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support
+for the HDF5 Examples CMake project.

+========================================================================
+Compiler warnings are managed by setting the compiler flags variables.
+
+Autotools uses the H5_CFLAGS and H5_CXXFLAGS, both variables set the flags nearly
+  identical, along with H5_FCFLAGS for Fortran. Autotools uses the type
+  and version of the compiler to determine which warning flags are used.
+  However, there is an option, enable-developer-warnings, to enable extra
+  flags for developers.
+
+CMake uses the CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS, both sets are nearly
+  identical, along with CMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS for Fortran. CMake has a
+  minimum set of flags for GNU type compilers and for MSVC compilers. In
+  addition, CMake breaks the list of flags into groups. The groups for
+  GNU are roughly associated with the version of the compiler, while
+  the MSVC groups are associated with the warning levels for the
+  Microsoft compilers. The CMake option for enabling extra developer
+  warnings is HDF5_ENABLE_DEV_WARNINGS.
+
+Custom settings can be used by setting;
+  Environment variables H5_CFLAGS and H5_CXXFLAGS for Autotools
+  CMake defines CMAKE_C_FLAGS and CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS for CMake
+

 ============
 
-    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.

     Configuration:
     -------------
-    - Add missing USE_110_API_DEFAULT option.
+    - Add toolchain and cross-compile support
 
-      Option USE_110_API_DEFAULT sets the default version of
-      versioned APIs. The bin/makevers perl script did not set
-      the maxidx variable correctly when the 1.10 branch was
-      created. This caused the versioning process to always use
-      the latest version of any API.
+      Added info on using a toolchain file to INSTALL_CMAKE.txt. A
+      toolchain file is also used in cross-compiling, which requires
+      CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to be set. To help with cross-compiling
+      the fortran configure process, the HDF5UseFortran.cmake file macros
+      were improved. Fixed a Fortran configure file issue that incorrectly
+      used #cmakedefine instead of #define.
 
-      (ADB - 2018/08/17, HDFFV-10552)
+      (ADB - 2018/10/04, HDFFV-10594)
 
-    - Added configuration checks for the following MPI functions:
+    - Add warning flags for Intel compilers
 
-      MPI_Mprobe - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
-      MPI_Imrecv - Used for the Parallel Compression feature
+      Identified Intel compiler specific warnings flags that should be used
+      instead of GNU flags.
 
-      MPI_Get_elements_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
-      MPI_Type_size_x - Used for the "big Parallel I/O" feature
+      (ADB - 2018/10/04, TRILABS-21)
 
-      (JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
+    - Add default rpath to targets
 
-    - Added section to the libhdf5.settings file to indicate
-      the status of the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
-      features.
+      Default rpaths should be set in shared executables and
+      libraries to allow the use of loading dependent libraries
+      without requiring LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set. The default
+      path should be relative using @rpath on osx and $ORIGIN
+      on linux. Windows is not affected.
 
-      (JTH - 2018/08/02, HDFFV-10512)
+      (ADB - 2018/09/26, HDFFV-10594)
 
-    - Add option to execute swmr shell scripts from CMake.
-
-      Option TEST_SHELL_SCRIPTS redirects processing into a
-      separate ShellTests.cmake file for UNIX types. The tests
-      execute the shell scripts if a SH program is found.
+    Library:
+    --------
+    - Allow pre-generated H5Tinit.c and H5make_libsettings.c to be used.
 
-      (ADB - 2018/07/16)
+      Rather than always running H5detect and generating H5Tinit.c and
+      H5make_libsettings.c, supply a location for those files.
 
+      (ADB - 2018/09/18, HDFFV-10332)
 
-    C++ Library:
-    ------------
-    - New wrappers
 
-      Added the following items:
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.3 release
+==================================
 
-      + Class DSetAccPropList for the dataset access property list.
+    Library
+    -------
+    - Allow H5detect and H5make_libsettings to take a file as an argument.
 
-      + Wrapper for H5Dget_access_plist to class DataSet
-        // Gets the access property list of this dataset.
-        DSetAccPropList getAccessPlist() const;
+      Rather than only writing to stdout, add a command argument to name
+      the file that H5detect and H5make_libsettings will use for output.
+      Without an argument, stdout is still used, so backwards compatibility
+      is maintained.
 
-      + Wrappers for H5Pset_chunk_cache and H5Pget_chunk_cache to class DSetAccPropList
-        // Sets the raw data chunk cache parameters.
-        void setChunkCache(size_t rdcc_nslots, size_t rdcc_nbytes, double rdcc_w0)
+      (ADB - 2018/09/05, HDFFV-9059)
 
-        // Retrieves the raw data chunk cache parameters.
-        void getChunkCache(size_t &rdcc_nslots, size_t &rdcc_nbytes, double &rdcc_w0)
+    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library where an application
+      would hang if a collective read/write of a chunked dataset occurred
+      when collective metadata reads were enabled and some of the ranks
+      had no selection in the dataset's dataspace. The ranks which had no
+      selection in the dataset's dataspace called H5D__chunk_addrmap() to
+      retrieve the lowest chunk address in the dataset. This is because we
+      require reads/writes to be performed in strictly non-decreasing order
+      of chunk address in the file.
 
-      + New operator!= to class DataType (HDFFV-10472)

-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.2 release
-==================================
-
-    Library
-    -------
-    - Performance issue with H5Oget_info
-
-      H5Oget_info family of routines retrieves information for an object such
-      as object type, access time, number of attributes, and storage space etc.
-      Retrieving all such information regardless is an overkill and causes 
-      performance issue when doing so for many objects.
-
-      Add an additional parameter "fields" to the the H5Oget_info family of routines
-      indicating the type of information to be retrieved.  The same is done to
-      the H5Ovisit family of routines which recursively visits an object 
-      returning object information in a callback function.  Both sets of routines
-      are versioned and the corresponding compatibility macros are added.
-
-      The version 2 names of the two sets of routines are:
-        (1) H5Oget_info2, H5Oget_info_by_idx2, H5Oget_info_by_name2
-        (2) H5Ovisit2, H5Ovisit_by_name2
-
-      (VC - 2018/08/15, HDFFV-10180)
-
-    - Test failure due to metadata size in test/vds.c
-
-      The size of metadata from test_api_get_ex_dcpl() in test/vds.c is not as expected
-      because the latest format should be used when encoding the layout for VDS.
-
-      Set the latest format in a temporary fapl and pass the setting to the routines that 
-      encode the dataset selection for VDS.
-
-      (VC - 2018/08/14 HDFFV-10469)
-
-    - Java HDF5LibraryException class
-
-      The error minor and major values would be lost after the
-      constructor executed.
-
-      Created two local class variables to hold the values obtained during
-      execution of the constructor. Refactored the class functions to retrieve
-      the class values rather then calling the native functions.
-      The native functions were renamed and called only during execution
-      of the constructor.
-      Added error checking to calling class constructors in JNI classes.
-
-      (ADB - 2018/08/06, HDFFV-10544)
-
-    - Added checks of the defined MPI_VERSION to guard against usage of
-      MPI-3 functions in the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
-      features when HDF5 is built with MPI-2. Previously, the configure
-      step would pass but the build itself would fail when it could not
-      locate the MPI-3 functions used.
-
-      As a result of these new checks, HDF5 can again be built with MPI-2,
-      but the Parallel Compression feature will be disabled as it relies
-      on the MPI-3 functions used.

-    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused partial
-      parallel reads of filtered datasets to return incorrect data. The
-      library used the incorrect dataspace for each chunk read, causing
-      the selection used in each chunk to be wrong.
-
-      The bug was not caught during testing because all of the current
-      tests which do parallel reads of filtered data read all of the data
-      using an H5S_ALL selection. Several tests were added which exercise
-      partial parallel reads.

-    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused parallel
-      writes of filtered datasets to trigger an assertion failure in the
-      file free space manager.
-
-      This occurred when the filter used caused chunks to repeatedly shrink
-      and grow over the course of several dataset writes. The previous chunk
-      information, such as the size of the chunk and the offset in the file,
-      was being cached and not updated after each write, causing the next write
-      to the chunk to retrieve the incorrect cached information and run into
-      issues when reallocating space in the file for the chunk.
-
-      (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10509)
-
-    - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused the
-      H5D__mpio_array_gatherv() function to allocate too much memory.
-
-      When the function is called with the 'allgather' parameter set
-      to a non-true value, the function will receive data from all MPI
-      ranks and gather it to the single rank specied by the 'root'
-      parameter. However, the bug in the function caused memory for
-      the received data to be allocated on all MPI ranks, not just the
-      singular rank specified as the receiver. In some circumstances,
-      this would cause an application to fail due to the large amounts
-      of memory being allocated.

-    - Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
-
-      h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
-      errors are encountered in the internal library.
-
-      Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
-      Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
-      layout and refcount.

-
-    - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
-      suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
-      the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
-      fault.
-
-      This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
-
-      NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
-            should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
-            or a file created by third-party software.
-
-      THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
-
-      Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
-      H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
-      which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
-      major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.

-    Configuration
-    -------------
-    - Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
-
-      There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
-      - Shared libs were not built.
-      - The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
-      - Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
-
-      Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
-
-      (LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
-
-    - The --enable-debug/production configure flags are listed as 'deprecated'
-      when they should really be listed as 'removed'.
-
-      In the autotools overhaul several years ago, we removed these flags and
-      implemented a new --enable-build-mode= flag. This was done because we
-      changed the semantics of the modes and didn't want users to silently
-      be exposed to them. The newer system is also more flexible and us to
-      add other modes (like 'clean').
-
-      The --enable-debug/production flags are now listed as removed.
-
-      (DER - 2018/05/31, HDFFV-10505)
-
-    - Moved the location of gcc attribute.
-
-      The gcc attribute(no_sanitize), named as the macro HDF_NO_UBSAN,
-      was located after the function name. Builds with GCC 7 did not
-      indicate any problem, but GCC 8 issued errors. Moved the
-      attribute before the function name, as required.
-
-      (ADB - 2018/05/22, HDFFV-10473)
-
-    - Reworked java test suite into individual JUnit tests.
-
-      Testing the whole suite of java unit tests in a single JUnit run
-      made it difficult to determine actual failures when tests would fail.
-      Running each file set of tests individually, allows individual failures
-      to be diagnosed easier. A side benefit is that tests for optional components
-      of the library can be disabled if not configured.
-
-      (ADB - 2018/05/16, HDFFV-9739)
-
-    - Converted CMake global commands ADD_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
-      to use target_* type commands. This change modernizes the CMake usage
-      in the HDF5 library.
-
-      In addition, there is the intention to convert to generator expressions,
-      where possible. The exception is Fortran FLAGS on Windows Visual Studio.
-      The HDF macros TARGET_C_PROPERTIES and TARGET_FORTRAN_PROPERTIES have
-      been removed with this change in usage.
-
-      The additional language (C++ and Fortran) checks have also been localized
-      to only be checked when that language is enabled.
