Known Problems
==============
+ The dynamically loaded plugin test libraries require undefined references
+ to HDF5 functions to be resolved at runtime in order to function properly.
+ With autotools on CYGWIN this results in build errors, and we have not
+ found a solution that satisfies both. Therefore the dynamically loaded
+ plugin tests have been disabled on CYGWIN.

Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
