+Removed Feature
+===============
+The stream virtual file driver (H5FD_STREAM) have been removed in this
+release. This affects the functions H5Pset_fapl_stream and H5Pget_fapl_stream
+and the constant H5FD_STREAM.
+
+This virtual file driver will be available at
+http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/. Note that at the time of this release,
+the transition is still in progress; the necessary integration tools may
+not be available when HDF5 Release 1.8.0 first comes out.
