+    - 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

+    - 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.
