+ - filter plugin handling in H5PL.c and H5Z.c
+
+ It was discovered that the dynamic loading process used by
+ filter plugins had issues with memory allocation and library
+ dependencies.
+
+ CMake build process changed to use LINK INTERFACE keywords, which
+ allowed HDF5 C library to make dependent libraries private. The
+ filter plugin libraries no longer require dependent libraries
+ (such as szip or zlib) to be available.
