(NAF - 2019/03/01)
+ - Add new H5R_ref_t type for object, dataset region and _attribute_
+ references. This new type will deprecate the current hobj_ref_t
+ and hdset_reg_ref_t types for references. Added H5T_REF datatype
+ to read and write new reference types. As opposed to previous
+ reference types, reference creation no longer modifies existing
+ files. New reference types also now support references to external
+ files.
