Library
-------
- - Updated to latest autotools and changed all hard *.sh scripts to
- configure managed *.sh.in files. Removed overloading of autotools
- TESTS variable by examples and tests. Renamed configure.in to
- configure.ac. (ADB - 2012/08/23 - HDFFV-8129)
- - The data sieve buffer size was for all the datasets in the file. It
- could waste memory if any dataset size is smaller than the sieve buffer
- size. Now the library picks the smaller one between the dataset size
- and the sieve buffer size from the file access property. See Issue 7934.
- (SLU - 2012/4/11)
+ - None
Parallel Library
----------------
- - Add H5Pget_mpio_no_collective_cause() function that retrive reasons
- why the collective I/O was broken during read/write IO access.
- (JKM - 2012/08/30 HDFFV-8143)
-
- - Added H5Pget_mpio_actual_io_mode_f (MSB - 2012/09/27)
+ - None
Tools
-----
- - h5import: Allow use of h5dump output as input files to h5import.
- h5dump must include the "-p" option to print the properties,
- configuration file is captured output of h5dump. The restrictions are
- that only one dataset with a simple datatype (integer, floating-point,
- or string) can be processed.
- Integers and floating-point imports from h5dump must use the "binary"
- option for the data file.
- The string version uses the h5dump "-y --width=1" options to disable the
- indexing printouts, print single columns and obviously NOT use the
- "binary" option.

Configuration

Library
-------
- - Fix a memory leak exposed when inserting/removing a property

Parallel Library
----------------
- - The MPI-POSIX VFD was updated to include the POSIX and Windows

Tools
-----
- - h5repack: "h5repack -f NONE file1.h5 out.h5" command failed if
- source file contains chunked dataset and a chunk dim is bigger than
- the dataset dim. Another issue is that the command changed max dims
- if chunk dim is smaller than the dataset dim.
- These issue occurred when dataset size is smaller than 64k (compact
- size limit) Fixed both.
- HDFFV-8012 (JKM 2012/09/24)
- - h5diff: Fixed not to accumulate attribute difference to dataset
- difference in verbose mode (-v, -r), which caused incorrect
- difference between dataset and group/datatype object if attribute
- exist with any differences. This also lead to fix inconsistent
- format indicating difference between dataset and group/datatype
- object. HDFFV-5919 (JKM 2012/09/10)
- - h5diff: Fixed the incorrect result when comparing attribute data
- values and the data type has same class but different size.
- HDFFV-7942 (JKM 2012/08/15)
- - h5dump: Replace single element fwrite with block writes.
- HDFFV-1208 (ADB 2012/08/13)
- - h5diff: Fixed test failure for "make check" due to failure of
- copying test files when performed in HDF5 source tree. Also applied
- to other tools. HDFFV-8107 (JKM 2012/08/01)
- - ph5diff: Fixed intermittent hang issue on a certain operation in
- parallel mode. It was detected by daily test for comparing
- non-comparable objects, but it could have occurred in other
- operations depend on machine condition. HDFFV-8003 (JKM 2012/08/01)
- - h5diff: Fixed the Function COPY_TESTFILES_TO_TESTDIR() of testh5diff.sh
- to better report when there is an error in the file copying.
- HDFFV-8105 (AKC 2012/07/22)
- - h5dump: Fix sort by name display to maintain correct parent / child
- releationships between ascending / descending order.
- HDFFV-8095 (ADB 2012/07/12)
- - h5dump: Fix display by creation order when using option -n (print contents).
- HDFFV-5942 (ADB 2012/07/09)
- - h5dump: Allow H5T_CSET_UTF8 to be displayed in h5dump output. Use
- technique like in h5ls (matches library options).
- HDFFV-7999 (ADB 2012/05/23)
- - h5diff: Fixed not to check and display dangling link status without
- --follow-symlinks option. This also improved performance when
- comparing lots of external links without the --follow-symlinks
- option. HDFFV-7998 (JKM 2012/04/26)
