+    - Add file locking configure and CMake options
+
+      HDF5 1.10.0 introduced a file locking scheme, primarily to help
+      enforce SWMR setup. Formerly, the only user-level control of the scheme
+      was via the HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable.
+
+      This change introduces configure-time options that control whether
+      or not file locking will be used and whether or not the library
+      ignores errors when locking has been disabled on the file system
+      (useful on some HPC Lustre installations).
+
+      In both the Autotools and CMake, the settings have the effect of changing
+      the default property list settings (see the H5Pset/get_file_locking()
+      entry, below).
+
+      The yes/no/best-effort file locking configure setting has also been
+      added to the libhdf5.settings file.
+
+      Autotools:
+
+        An --enable-file-locking=(yes|no|best-effort) option has been added.
+
+        yes:          Use file locking.
+        no:           Do not use file locking.
+        best-effort:  Use file locking and ignore "disabled" errors.
+
+      CMake:
+
+        Two self-explanatory options have been added:
+
+        HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING
+        HDF5_IGNORE_DISABLED_FILE_LOCKS
+
+        Setting both of these to ON is the equivalent to the Autotools'
+        best-effort setting.
+
+      NOTE:
+      The precedence order of the various file locking control mechanisms is:
+
+        1) HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable (highest)
+
+        2) H5Pset_file_locking()
+
+        3) configure/CMake options (which set the property list defaults)
+
+        4) library defaults (currently best-effort)

+      (JOS - 2020/03/13, TBD)
+
+    - Add Splitter VFD
+
+      Maintain separate R/W and W/O channels for "concurrent" file writes
+      to two files using a single HDF5 file handle.
+
+     (JOS - 2020/03/13, TBD)
+
     - Add S3 and HDFS VFDs to HDF5 maintenance
 
       Fix windows requirements and java tests. Windows requires CMake 3.13.

+    - Add BEST_EFFORT value to HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable
+
+      This change adds a BEST_EFFORT to the TRUE/FALSE, 1/0 settings that
+      were previously accepted. This option turns on file locking but
+      ignores locking errors when the library detects that file locking
+      has been disabled on a file system (useful on some HPC Lustre
+      installations).
+
+      The capitalization of BEST_EFFORT is mandatory.

-     Parallel Library:

+
+      This change adds new API calls which can be used to set or get the

+      locking" flag and the "ignore disabled file locking" flag.
