-------
- Fixed memory leak in scale offset filter
- The data buffer was not freed in a special case like the general case.
- The special case is when the MinBits is the same as the number of bits in
- the datatype's precision. It caused the memory usage to grow.
+ In a special case where the MinBits is the same as the number of bits in
+ the datatype's precision, the filter's data buffer was not freed, causing
+ the memory usage to grow. In general the buffer was freed correctly. The
+ Minbits are the minimal number of bits to store the data values. Please
+ see the reference manual for H5Pset_scaleoffset for the detail.
