+    - A bug was fixed in the HDF5 API test random datatype generation code
+
+      A bug in the random datatype generation code could cause test failures
+      when trying to generate an enumeration datatype that has duplicated
+      name/value pairs in it. This has now been fixed.
+
+    - A bug was fixed in the HDF5 API test VOL connector registration checking code
+
+      The HDF5 API test code checks to see if the VOL connector specified by the
+      HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR environment variable (if any) is registered with the library
+      before attempting to run tests with it so that testing can be skipped and an
+      error can be returned when a VOL connector fails to register successfully.
+      Previously, this code didn't account for VOL connectors that specify extra
+      configuration information in the HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR environment variable and
+      would incorrectly report that the specified VOL connector isn't registered
+      due to including the configuration information as part of the VOL connector
+      name being checked for registration status. This has now been fixed.
