     Configuration:
     -------------
     - CMake minimum is now 3.2.2. (ADB 2016/01/10)
-    - CMake
-      Added NAMESPACE hdf5:: to package configuration files
-    - CMake: change CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION to CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE, which is
-      recommended by CMake documentation.
-      HDFFV-9971 (ADB 2016/8/22)
-    - Java JNI library API wrappers and supporting files added as HDF_JAVA language
-      option. Both configure and CMake disable this option by default.
-      HDFFV-9552 (ADB 2016/02/28)
-    - CMake minimum is now 3.1.0. (ADB 2015/11/14)
-    - cmakehdf5: configure options added to enable or disable the building of
-      different API's and testings. See "cmakehdf5 --help" for details.
-      (AKC - 2014/12/09 HDFFV-8932)
-    - Autotools: Automake updated to 1.14.1 (ADB - 2014/04/08)
-    - CMake: Moved minimum CMake version to 2.8.11 which enables better library
-      include processing. (ADB - 2014/03/26)
-    - New configuration option added to change the default plugin path.
-      configure option is --with-default-plugin=location
-      cmake option is -DH5_DEFAULT_PLUGINDIR:PATH=location
-      HDFFV-8513.  (ADB 2013/09/04)
-    - Rename FFLAGS to FCFLAGS in configure (ADB 2013/08/13)
-    - CMake minimum is now 2.8.10. (ADB 2013/01/14)
-    - A new tool, cmakehdf5, which is a build command script similar to
-      buildhdf5 is added and is available in the bin directory.
-      (AKC - 2012/12/12)
-    - Fixed AIX Fortran compiler flags to use appropriate settings for
-      debugging, profiling, optimization situations. HDFFV-8069. (AKC
-      2012/09/27)
-    - Updated to latest autotools and changed all hard *.sh scripts to
-      configure managed *.sh.in files. Removed overloading of autotools
-      TESTS variable by examples and tests. Renamed configure.in to
-      configure.ac. (ADB - 2012/08/23 - HDFFV-8129)
-    - Added code to display the version information of XL fortran and C++
-      in the summary of configure. (AKC - 2012/02/28 - HDFFV-7793)
-    - Configure now generates Makefiles that build in "silent make mode"
-      by default in which compile and link lines are significantly
-      simplified for clarity. To override this and view actual compile and
-      link lines during building, the --disable-silent-rules flag can be used
-      at configure time, or the 'make' command can be followed by V=1, to
-      indicate a "verbose" make. (MAM - 2011/4/14).
-    - Added mpicc and mpif90 as the default C and Fortran compilers for Linux
-      systems when --enable-parallel is specified but no $CC or $FC is defined.
-      (AKC - 2011/2/7)
-    - Added a new configure option, "--enable-unsupported", which can
-      be used to stop configure from preventing the use of unsupported
-      configure option combinations, such as c++ in parallel or parallel
-      HDF5 with threadsafe. Use at your own risk, as it may result in a
-      library that won't compile or run as expected!
-      (MAM - 2010/11/17 - Bug 2061)
-    - PHDF5 changed to use "mpiexec", instead of mpirun, as the default MPI
-      applications startup command as defined in the MPI-2 definition, section
-      4.1. (AKC - 2010/6/11 - Bug 1921)
-    - Configure now adds appropriate defines for supporting large (64-bit)
-      files on all systems, where supported, by default, instead of only linux.
-      This largefile support is controllable with the --enable-largefile
-      configure option. This is replacing the linux-specific --enable-linux-lfs
-      option, which has been removed from configure.
-      (MAM - 2010/05/05 - 1772/1434)
-    - Upgraded versions of autotools used to generate configuration suite.
-      We now use Automake 1.11.1, Autoconf 2.65, and Libtool 2.2.6b.
-      MAM 2010/04/15.
-    - Added the xlc-* and mpcc_r-* BASENAME patterns to be recognized as IBM
-      compilers so that the ibm compiler options can be added properly.  This
-      allows non-system-default compiler command names (e.g. xlc-m.n.k.l) be
-      recognized. AKC 2009/11/26.
-    - Configuration suite now uses Automake 1.11 and Autoconf 2.64.
-      MAM 2009/08/11.
-    - Changed default Gnu fortran compiler from g95 to gfortran since
-      gfortran is more likely installed with gcc now. -AKC 2009/07/19-
-    - Added libtool version numbers to generated c++, fortran, and
-      hl libraries. MAM 2009/04/19.
-    - Regenerated Makefile.ins using Automake 1.10.2. MAM 2009/04/19.
-    - Added a Make target of check-all-install to test the correctness of
-      installing via the prefix= or $DESTDIR options. AKC - 2009/04/14
-    - Configuration suite now uses Libtool 2.2.6a. MAM 2008/10/24
-
-    - Configuration suite now uses Autoconf 2.61, Automake 1.10.1.
-      MAM 2008/05/05.
-
-    - The new configure option "--disable-sharedlib-rpath" disables
-      embedding the '-Wl,-rpath' information into executables when
-      shared libraries are produced, and instead solely relies on the
-      information in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. (MAM - 2008/05/15)
+    
 
     Library:
     --------
-    - Java API added new H5Iget_name that returns a string.
-      The old function, now deprecated, would cause a memory leak and
-      not return a proper String value.
-      HDFFV-9972 (ADB 2016/8/22)
-    - Add support to expand the plugin path value on Windows when the path
-      includes an environment variable.
-      HDFFV-9706 (ADB 2016/8/22)
-
-    - H5F_ACC_DEBUG labeled "deprecated"
-
-      The symbol was originally used to emit some extra debugging
-      informationi in the multi VFD. The underlying functionality
-      was removed due to disuse in HDF5 1.8.16 though the symbol
-      remained defined since it was visible in H5Fpublic.h.
-
-      In this release, the symbol has been labeled deprecated and will
-      not be defined when H5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS is defined.
-
-      (DER - 2015-04-30, HDFFV-1074)
-
-    - The library can load filter libraries dynamically during runtime.  Users
-      can set the search path through environment variable HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH
-      and call H5Pset_filter to enable a dynamic filter. (SLU - 2013/04/08)
-    - Added new API functions H5Dscatter and H5Dgather to scatter data to and
-      and gather data from a selection within a memory buffer.
-      (NAF - 2013/02/05)
-    - The library now supports the data conversion from enumeration to numeric
-      (integer and floating-point number) datatypes. See Issue 8221.
-      (SLU - 2012/10/23)
-    - The data sieve buffer size was for all the datasets in the file.  It
-      could waste memory if any dataset size is smaller than the sieve buffer
-      size.  Now the library picks the smaller one between the dataset size
-      and the sieve buffer size from the file access property. See Issue 7934.
-      (SLU - 2012/4/2)
-    - I added a new parameter of object access property list to the function
-      H5Rdereference (Issue 2763).  It's called H5Rdereference2 now.  The former
-      H5Rdereference function has been deprecated to H5Rdereference1. (SLU -
-      2011/7/18)
-    - H5Tcreate now supports string type (fixed-length and variable-length).
-      (SLU - 2011/05/20)
-    - Added ability to cache files opened through external links.  Added new
-      public functions H5Pset_elink_file_cache_size(),
-      H5Pget_elink_file_cache_size(), and H5Fclear_elink_file_cache().
-      (NAF - 2011/02/17)
-    - Removed all old code for Metraowerks compilers, bracketed by
-      __MWERKS__). Metraowerks compiler is long gone. (AKC - 2010/11/17)
-    - Added support for threadsafety on windows using the windows threads
-      library. Use the HDF5_ENABLE_THREADSAFE option in CMake while on a
-      windows platform to enable this functionality. This is supported on
-      Windows Vista and newer Windows operating systems. (MAM - 2010/09/10)
-    - When a mandatory filter failed to write data chunks, the dataset
-      couldn't close (bug 1260).  The fix releases all resources and closes
-      the dataset but returns a failure. (SLU - 2010/9/8)
-    - H5Tset_order and H5Tget_order now support all data types.  A new byte
-      order H5T_ORDER_MIXED has been added specifically for compound datatype
-      and its derived type.  Please see bug #1934. (SLU - 2010/8/23)
-    - Improved performance of the chunk cache by avoiding unnecessary b-tree
-      lookups of chunks already in cache. (NAF - 2010/06/15)
-    - Greatly improved performance of extending a dataset with early
-      allocation. (NAF - 2010/03/24 - 1637)
-    - Added support for filtering densely stored groups.  Many of the API
-      functions related to filters have been extended to support dense groups
-      as well as datasets.  Pipeline messages can now be stored in a group's
-      object header. (NAF/QAK - 2009/10/8)
-    - The embedded library information is displayed by H5check_version() if a
-      version mismatch is detected.  Also changed H5check_version() to
-      suppress the warning message totally if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is 2
-      or higher. (Old behavior treated 3 or higher the same as 1, that is
-      print a warning and allows the program to continue. (AKC - 2009/9/28)
-    - If a user does not care for the extra library information insert
-      in the executables, he may turn it off by --disable-embedded-libinfo
-      during configure. (AKC - 2009/9/15)
-    - Corrected problem where library would re-write the superblock in a file
-      opened for R/W access, even when no changes were made to the file.
-      (QAK - 2009/08/20, Bz#1473)
-    - Separated "factory" free list class from block free lists. These free
-      lists are dynamically created and manage blocks of a fixed size.
-      H5set_free_list_limits() will use the same settings specified for block
-      free lists for factory free lists. (NAF - 2009/04/08)
-    - Added support for dense attributes to H5Ocopy. (XCao/NAF - 2009/01/29)
-    - Added H5Pset_elink_cb and H5Pget_elink_cb functions to support a
-      user-defined callback function for external link traversal.
-      (NAF - 2009/01/08)
-    - Added H5Pset_elink_acc_flags and H5Pget_elink_acc_flags functions to
-      allow the user to specify the file access flags used to open the target
-      file of an external link. (NAF - 2009/01/08)
-    - Added H5Pset_chunk_cache() and H5Pget_chunk_cache() functions to allow
-      individual rdcc configuration for each dataset.  Added
-      H5Dget_access_plist() function to retrieve a dataset access property
-      list from a dataset. (NAF - 2008/11/12)
-    - Added H5Iis_valid() function to check if an id is valid without producing
-      an error message. (NAF - 2008/11/5)
-    - Added two new public routines: H5Pget_elink_fapl() and
-      H5Pset_elink_fapl(). (see bug #1247) (VC - 2008/10/13)
-    - Improved free space tracking in file to be faster. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
-    - Added 'mounted' field to H5G_info_t struct. (QAK - 2008/07/15)
+    - 
 
     Parallel Library:
     -----------------
-    - Add H5Pget_mpio_no_collective_cause() function that retrive reasons
-      why the collective I/O was broken during read/write IO access.
-      (JKM - 2012/08/30 HDFFV-8143)
-    - Special Collective IO (IO when some processes do not contribute to the
-      IO) and Complex Derived Datatype MPI functionalities are no longer
-      conditionally enabled in the library by configure. They are always
-      enabled in order to take advantage of performance boosts from these
-      behaviors. Older MPI implementations that do not allow for these
-      functionalities can no longer by used by HDF5. (MAM - 2011/07/08).
-    - Modified parallel tests to run with arbitrary number of processes. The
-      modified tests are testphdf5 (parallel dataset access), t_chunk_alloc
-      (chunk allocation), and t_posix_compliant (posix compliance). The rest of
-      the parallel tests already use in the code the number of processes
-      available in the communicator. (CMC - 2009/04/28)
+    - 
 
     Fortran Library:
     ----------------
-
-    - Added parallel routine H5Pget_mpio_actual_io_mode_f (MSB - 2012/09/27)
-
-    - Added for the C API the Fortran wrapper:
-       h5ocopy_f (MSB - 2012/03/22)
-
-
-    HDF5 Fortran library was enhanced to support Fortran 2003 standard.
-    The following features are available when the HDF5 library is configured
-    using --enable-fortran --enable-fortran2003 configure flags AND
-    if fortran compiler is Fortran2003 compliant:
-
-     - Subroutines overloaded with the C_PTR derived type:
-         h5pget_f
-         h5pget_fill_value_f
-         h5pinsert_f
-         h5pregister_f
-         h5pset_f
-         h5pset_fill_value_f
-         h5rcreate_f
-         h5rderefrence_f
-         h5rget_name_f
-         h5rget_obj_type_f
-     - Subroutines overloaded with the C_PTR derived type
-       and simplified signatures:
-         h5aread_f
-         h5awrite_f
-         h5dread_f
-         h5dwrite_f
-     - New subroutines
-         h5dvlen_reclaim_f
-         h5literate_by_name_f
-         h5literate_f
-         h5ovisit_f
-         h5tconvert_f
-
-     - Subroutines with additional optional parameters:
-         h5pcreate_class_f
-                                               (EIP - 2011/10/14)
-
-        - Added for the C APIs the Fortran wrappers:
-            h5dget_access_plist_f
-            h5iis_valid_f
-            h5pset_chunk_cache_f
-            h5pget_chunk_cache_f
-          (MSB - 2009/04/17)
-
-
+    - 
 
     C++ Library:
     ------------
-     - New member function added
-
-       The assignment operator ArrayType::operator= is added because ArrayType
-       has pointer data members.
-
-       (BMR, 2016/03/07, HDFFV-9562)
-
-  - New member functions
-    + Overloaded CommonFG::getObjnameByIdx to take char* for name
-    + Overloaded CommonFG::getObjTypeByIdx to return type name as a char*.
-            (BMR - 2010/05/02)
-    + DataSet::getInMemDataSize() to simplify getting the dataset's
-            data size in memory.  (BMR - 2009/07/26)
-        - These member functions were added as wrapper for H5Rdereference to
-          replace the incorrect IdComponent::dereference().
-                void H5Object::dereference(H5File& h5file, void* ref)
-                void H5Object::dereference(H5Object& obj, void* ref)
-          In addition, these constructors were added to create the associated
-          objects by way of dereference:
-                Attribute(H5Object& obj, void* ref);
-                Attribute(H5File& file, void* ref);
-                DataSet(H5Object& obj, void* ref);
-                DataSet(H5File& file, void* ref);
-                DataType(H5Object& obj, void* ref);
-                DataType(H5File& file, void* ref);
-                Group(H5Object& obj, void* ref);
-                Group(H5File& obj, void* ref);
-          (BMR - 2008/08/10)

     Tools:
     ------
-     - h5repack: Added ability to use plugin filters. HDFFV-8345 (ADB - 2013/09/04).
-     - h5dump: Added option -N --any_path, which searches the file for paths that
-               match the search path. HDFFV-7989 (ADB - 2013/08/12).
-     - h5dump: Added optional arg 0 to -A, which excludes attributes from display.
-               HDFFV-8134 (ADB - 2013/08/01).
-     - h5dump: Fixed displaying compression ratio for unknown or user-defined
-               filters. HDFFV-8344 (XCAO 2013/03/19)
-     - h5dump: Changed UNKNOWN_FILTER to USER_DEFINED_FILTER for user defined filter.
-               HDFFV-8346 (XCAO 2013/03/19)
-     - h5dump: Added capability for "-a" option to show attributes containing "/"
-               by using an escape character. For example, for a dataset "/dset"
-               containing attribute "speed(m/h)", use "h5dump -a "/dset/speed(\/h)"
-               to show the content of the attribute. See details at HDFFV-7523
-               (PC -- 2012/03/12)
-     - h5dump: Added ability to apply command options across multiple files using a
-               wildcard in the filename. Example; "h5dump -H -d Dataset1 tarr*.h5".
-               HDFFV-7876 (ADB - 2012/03/12).
-     - h5repack: Improved performance for big chunked datasets (size > 128MB)
-               when used with layout (-l) or compression (-f) option.
-               It would perform much better prior to the improvement,
-               especially for cases that chunk dimentions looks like
-               "1024x5x1" (compare to "1x5x1024"). When bigger numbers
-               are toward front and smaller number is toward back in chunk
-               dimentions.  HDFFV-7862 (JKM - 2012/03/01)
-     - h5dump: Added new option --no-compact-subset. This option will not
-               interpret the '[' character as starting the compact form of
-               subsetting. This is useful when the "h5dump error: unable to

-
-     - Regarding #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED
-
-      The #ifdef VLPT_REMOVED blocks are removed from the PT library source
-      except the following cases:
-      + H5PTis_varlen() is made available again.
-      + H5PTfree_vlen_readbuff() now became H5PTfree_vlen_buff()

-
-     C++ Packet Table API
-     --------------------
-     - New constructor
-
-      An overloaded constructor is added to FL_PacketTable and takes a property

-     - Member functions having "char*" as an argument
-
-      Overloaded functions were added to provide "const char*" argument, the
-      existing version will be deprecated.
-                                               (BMR, 2016/03/04)

-     Internal header file
-     --------------------
-     - A new API function H5DOwrite_chunk.  It writes a data chunk directly
-            into a file bypassing hyperslab selection, data conversion, and
-            filter pipeline.  The user must be careful with the function and
-            clearly understand the I/O process of the library.
-            (SLU - 2013/2/11)
-     - New API: h5ltpath_valid (Fortran: h5ltpath_valid_f) which checks
-            if a path is correct and determines if a link resolves to a valid
-            object and checks that the link does not dangle. (MSB- 2012/3/15)

     Library
     -------
-      - Fixed a memory bug that could occur when a message was improperly marked
-        as sharable on disk.
-
-        (NAF, 2016/07/01, HDFFV-9950)
-
-      - Incorrect usage of list in CMake COMPILE_DEFINITIONS set_property
-
-        The CMake command, set_property with COMPILE_DEFINITIONS property
-        needs a quoted semi-colon separated list of values. CMake will
-        transform the list to a series of -D{value} for the compile.
-
-        (ADB - 2014/12/09, HDFV-9041)
-
-      - H5Z.c: H5Zfilter_avail(H5Z_filter_t id)
-           Added else block if the call to the internal H5Z_filter_avail(id) does not
-           fail and returns FALSE. This block calls the H5PL_load(H5PL_TYPE_FILTER, (int)id)
-           function to attempt to dynamically load the filter plugin.
-           (ADB - 2014/03/03 HDFFV-8629)
-      - Added const qualifier to source buffer parameters in H5Dgather and
-            H5D_scatter_func_t (H5Dscatter callback).  (NAF - 2013/7/02)
-      - Fixed an error involving failure to write fill values to the user's
-            buffer when reading unallocated chunks from datasets that have a
-            fill value set to H5D_FILL_VALUE_DEFAULT. A consequence of this
-            was the reporting of spurious data values in h5dump and h5diff
-            output.
-            (HDFFV-8247; JP - 2013/05/03)
-      - Fixed an error that could occur when calling H5Ocopy within an
-            H5Literate callback (and possibly other situations).
-            (NAF - 2012/7/25 - HDFFV-5853)
-      - Fixed an error that would occur when copying an object with attribute
-            creation order tracked and indexed. (NAF - 2012/3/28 - HDFFV-7762)
-      - Fixed a bug in H5Ocopy(): When copying an opened object, call the
-        object's flush class action to ensure that cached data is flushed
-            so that H5Ocopy will get the correct data.
-        (VC - 2012/3/27 - HDFFV-7853)
-      - When an application tries to write or read many small data chunks and
-            runs out of memory, the library had a seg fault.  The fix is to
-            return the error stack with proper information. (SLU - 2012/3/23.
-            Issue 7785)
-      - H5Pset_data_transform had seg fault in some cases like x*-100.  It
-            works correctly now and handles other cases like 100-x or 2/x.
-            (SLU - 2012/3/15.  Issue 7922)
-      - Fixed rare corruption bugs that could occur when using the new object
-            header format. (NAF - 2012/3/15 - HDFFV-7879)
-      - Creating a dataset in a read-only file caused seg fault when the file
-            is closed.  It's fixed.  The attemp to create a dataset will fail
-            with the error stack indicating the file is read-only. (SLU -
-            2012/1/25. Issue 7756)
-      - Fixed a seg fault that could occur when shrinking a dataset with chunks
-            larger than 1 MB. (NAF - 2011/11/30 - HDFFV-7833)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause file corruption when copying named
-            datatypes to a file using shared messages. (NAF - 2011/11/14)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause H5Oget_info to return the wrong address
-            after copying a named datatype. (NAF - 2011/11/14)
-      - The library allowed the conversion of strings between ASCII and UTF8
-            (Issue 7582).  We have corrected it to report an error under this
-            situation. (SLU - 2011/11/8)
-      - The library had seg fault when it tried to shrink the size of compound type
-            through H5Tset_size immediately after the type was created (Issue
-            7618). It's fixed now. (SLU - 2011/10/26)
-      - Fixed a bug that occurred when using H5Ocopy on a committed datatype
-            containing an attribute using that committed datatype.
-            (NAF - 2011/10/13 - Issue 5854)
-      - #ifdef _WIN32 instances changed to #ifdef H5_HAVE_WIN32_API and added
-            H5_HAVE_VISUAL_STUDIO checks where necessary. CMake only as configure
-            never set _WIN32.
-      - CLANG compiler with the options -fcatch-undefined-behavior and -ftrapv
-            discovered 3 problems in tests and tools' library (Issue 7674):
-              1. In dsets.c, left shifting an unsigned int for 32 bits or more
-                 caused undefined behavior.
-              2. In dt_arith.c, the INIT_INTEGER macro definition has an overflow
-                 when the value is negative minimal and is being subtracted one.
-              3. In tools/lib/h5tools_str.c, right shifting an int value for 32 bits
-                 or more caused undefined behavior.
-            All the problems have been corrected. (SLU - 2011/9/2)
-      - In v1.6 library, there was EOA for the whole MULTI file saved in the
-            super block.  We took it out in v1.8 library because it's meaningless
-            for the MULTI file.  v1.8 library saves the EOA for the metadata file,
-            instead. But this caused some backward compatibility problem.
-            v1.8 library couldn't open the file created with v1.6 library.  We
-            fixed the problem by checking the EOA value to detect the file
-            created with v1.6 library. (SLU - 2011/6/22)
-      - When a dataset had filters and reading data failed, the error message
-            didn't say which filter isn't registered. It's fixed now.
-            (SLU - 2011/6/3)
-      - The datatype handler created with H5Tencode/decode used to have the
-            reference count 0 (zero).  I have fixed it.  It is 1 (one) now.
-            (SLU - 2011/2/18)
-      - Fixed a bug that caused big endian machines to generate corrupt files
-            when using the scale-offset filter with floating point data or
-            fill values.  Note that such datasets will no longer be readable
-            by any machine after this patch.  (NAF - 2010/02/02 - Bug 2131)
-      - Retrieving a link's name by index in the case where the link is
-            external and the file that the link refers to doesn't exist will
-            now fail gracefully rather than cause a segmentation fault.
-            (MAM - 2010/11/17)
-      - Modified library to always cache symbol table information.  Libraries
-            version 1.6.3 have a bug which causes them to require this
-            information for some operations. (NAF - 2010/09/21 - 1864)
-      - Fixed a bug that could occur when getting information for a new-style
-            group that was previously opened through a file handle that was
-            later closed. (NAF - 2010/09/15)
-      - Added define check in H5public.h if stdint.h is supported by the C++
-            compiler. This define is only available on Windows with VS2010 and
-            using CMake to build the library. (ADB - 2010/09/13 - Bug 1938)
-      - H5Eset_current_stack now also closes the error stack to be set as the
-            default.  This is to avoid a potential problem (Bug 1799).
-            (SLU - 2010/9/7)
-      - Fixed the bug in the filter's public CAN_APPLY function.  The return
-            value should be htri_t not herr_t (Bug #1239). (SLU - 2010/8/5)
-      - Fixed a bug in the direct I/O driver that could render files with
-            certain kinds of unaligned data unreadable or corrupt them.
-            (NAF - 2010/07/28)
-      - valgrind reported an error of copying data to itself when a new attribute
-            is written (Bug #1956).  I fixed it by taking out the memcpy step in
-            the attribute code. (SLU - 2010/07/28)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause file corruption when using non-default
-            sizes of addresses and/or lengths.  This bug could also cause
-            uncorrupted files with this property to be unreadable.  This bug
-            was introduced in 1.8.5. (NAF - 2010/07/16 - 1951)
-      - Fixed a file corruption bug that could happen when shrinking a
-            compressed dataset. (NAF - 2010/05/20)
-      - Fixed some memory leaks in VL datatype conversion when strings are
-            used as fill values. (MAM - 2010/05/12 - BZ# 1826)
-      - Fixed a bug when copying objects with NULL references with the
-            H5O_COPY_EXPAND_REFERENCE_FLAG flag set. (NAF - 2010/04/08 - 1815)
-      - Files can now be concurrently opened more than once using the core file
-            driver, as long as the backing store is used. (NAF - 2010/03/09)
-      - Added support for H5O_COPY_EXPAND_EXT_LINK_FLAG to H5Ocopy.  External
-            links will now be expanded if this flag is set.
-            (NAF - 2010/03/05 - 1733)
-      - Fixed a bug where the library, when traversing an external link, would
-            reopen the source file if nothing else worked. (NAF - 2010/03/05)
-      - Fixed an intermittent bug in the b-tree code which could be triggered
-            by expanding and shrinking chunked datasets in certain ways.
-            (NAF - 2010/02/16)
-      - H5Tdetect_class said a VL string is a string type.  But when it's
-            in a compound type, it said it's a VL type (Bug #1584).  I fixed it
-            to be consistent.  It always return string type. (SLU - 2009/12/10)
-      - Fixed a bug where writing and deleting many global heap objects (i.e.
-            variable length data) would render the file unreadable.  Previously
-            created files exhibiting this problem should now be readable.
-            (NAF - 2009/10/27 - 1483)

-            dataset using a vlen inside a compound. (NAF - 2009/10/02 - 1597)
-      - Fixed incorrect return value for H5Pget_filter_by_id1/2 in H5Ppublic.h.
-            (NAF - 2009/09/25 - 1620)
-      - Fixed a bug where properties weren't being compared with the registered
-            compare callback. (NAF - 2009/09/25 - 1555)
-      - Fixed a bug where H5Pget_fitler_by_id would succeed when called for a
-            filter that wasn't present. (NAF - 2009/06/25 - 1250)
-      - Fixed an issue with committed compound datatypes containing a vlen.
-            Also fixed memory leaks involving committed datatypes.
-            (NAF - 2009/06/10 - 1593)
-      - Added versioning to H5Z_class_t struct to allow compatibility with 1.6
-            API. (NAF - 2009/04/20 - 1533)
-      - Fixed a problem with using data transforms with non-native types in the
-            file. (NAF - 2009/04/20 - 1548)
-      - Added direct.h include file to windows section of H5private.h
-            to fix _getcwd() warning. (ADB - 2009/04/14 - 1536)
-      - Fixed a bug that prevented external links from working after calling
-            H5close(). (NAF - 2009/04/10 - 1539)
-      - Modified library to write cached symbol table information to the
-            superblock, to allow library versions 1.3.0 to 1.6.3 to read files
-            created by this version. (NAF - 2009/04/08 - 1423)
-      - Changed skip lists to use a deterministic algorithm.  The library should
-            now never call rand() or srand(). (NAF - 2009/04/08 - 503)
-      - Fixed a bug where H5Lcopy and H5Lmove wouldn't create intermediate
-            groups when that property was set. (NAF - 2009/04/07 - 1526)
-      - Fixed a bug that caused files with a user block to grow by the size of
-            the user block every time they were opened.
-            (NAF - 2009/03/26 - 1499)
-      - Fixed a rare problem that could occur with files using the old (pre 1.4)
-            array datatype. (NAF - 2009/03/23)
-      - Modified library to be able to open files with corrupt root group symbol
-            table messages, and correct these errors if they are found.  Such
-            files can only be successfully opened with write access.
-            (NAF - 2009/03/23 - 1189)
-      - Removed the long_long #define and replaced all instances with
-            "long long". This caused problems with third party products. All
-            currently supported compliers support the type. (ADB - 2009/03/05)
-      - Fixed various bugs that could prevent the fill value from being written
-            in certain rare cases. (NAF - 2009/02/26 - 1469)
-      - Fixed a bug that prevented more than one dataset chunk from being cached
-            at a time. (NAF - 2009/02/12 - 1015)
-      - Fixed an assertion failure caused by opening an attribute multiple times
-            through multiple file handles. (NAF - 2009/02/12 - 1420)
-      - Fixed a problem that could prevent the user from adding attributes (or
-            any object header message) in some circumstances.
-            (NAF - 2009/02/12 - 1427)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause problems when an attribute was added to a
-            committed datatype using the committed datatype's datatype.
-            (NAF - 2009/02/12)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause problems when copying an object with a
-            shared message in its own object header. (NAF - 2009/01/29)
-      - Changed H5Tset_order to properly reject H5T_ORDER_NONE for most
-            datatypes. (NAF - 2009/01/27 - 1443)
-      - Fixed a bug where H5Tpack wouldn't remove trailing space from an
-            otherwise packed compound type. (NAF - 2009/01/14)
-      - Fixed up some old v2 btree assertions that get run in debug mode that
-            were previously failing on compilation, and removed some of the
-            more heavily outdated and non-rewritable ones. (MAM - 2008/12/15)
-      - Fixed a bug that could cause problems when "automatically" unmounting
-            multiple files. (NAF - 2008/11/17)
-      - H5Ovisit and H5Ovisit_by_name will now properly terminate when the
-            callback function returns a positive value on the starting object.
-            (NAF - 2008/11/03)
-      - Fixed an error where a null message could be created that was larger
-            than could be written to the file. (NAF - 2008/10/23)
-      - Corrected error with family/split/multi VFD not updating driver info
-            when "latest" version of the file format used. (QAK - 2008/10/14)
-      - Corrected alignment+threshold errors to work correctly when metadata
-            aggregation is enabled. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
-      - Changed H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids to ignore objects registered
-            by the library for internal library use. (NAF - 2008/10/06)
-      - Fixed potential memory leak during compound conversion.
-            (NAF - 2008/10/06)
-      - Changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_count from INT to SSIZE_T. Also
-            changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_ids from HERR_T to SSIZE_T and
-            the type of the parameter MAX_OBJS from INT to SIZE_T. (SLU - 2008/09/26)
-      - Fixed an issue that could cause data to be improperly overwritten
-            during compound type conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/19)
-      - Fixed pointer alignment violations that could occur during vlen
-            conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/16)
-      - Fixed problem where library could cause a segmentation fault when
-            an invalid location ID was given to H5Giterate(). (QAK - 2008/08/19)
-      - Fixed improper shutdown when objects have reference count > 1.  The
-            library now tracks reference count due to the application separately
-            from that due to internal library routines. (NAF - 2008/08/19)
-      - Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
-            (NAF - 2008/08/08)
-      - Fixed an issue where mount point traversal would fail when using
-            multiple handles for the child. (NAF - 2008/08/07)
-      - Fixed an issue where mount points were inaccessible when using multiple
-            file handles for the parent.  The mount table is now in the shared
-            file structure (the parent pointer is still in the top structure).
-            (NAF - 2008/08/07)
-      - when an attribute was opened twice and data was written with one of the handles,
-            the file didn't have the data.  It happened because each handle had its own
-            object structure, and the empty one overwrote the data with fill value.  This is
-            fixed by making some attribute information like the data be shared in the
-            attribute structure.  SLU - 2008/07/22
-      - Fixed issue where a group could have a file mounted on it twice.
-            (QAK - 2008/07/15)
-      - Fixed a Windows-specific issue in the ohdr test which was causing users
-        in some timezones to get false errors.  This a deficiency in the Windows
-        mktime() function, and has been handled properly.  SJW  - 2008/06/19
-      - Fixed the problem with the searching of target file for H5Lcreate_external().
-      The searching pattern will depend on whether the target file's
-      pathname is an absolute or a relative path. Please see the description
-      in the RM for H5Lcreate_external().  (VC - 2008/04/08)
-      - Fixed possible file corruption bug when encoding datatype
-            descriptions for compound datatypes whose size was between
-            256 & 511 bytes and the file was opened with the "use the
-            latest format" property enabled (with H5Pset_libver_bounds).
-            (QAK - 2008/03/13)
-      - Fixed bug in H5Aget_num_attrs() routine to handle invalid location
-            ID correctly.  (QAK - 2008/03/11)
-      - H5Dset_extent: when shrinking dimensions, some chunks were not deleted.
-            (PVN - 2009/01/8)
-      - Added code to maintain a min_clean_fraction in the metadata cache when
-            in serial mode. (MAM - 2009/01/9)

     Configuration
     -------------
-    - CMake: When CMake commands are executed individually on the command line
-      and the external filters are being built, the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE define
-      must be set to the same value as the configuration
-        (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release if using -C Release). This is needed
-      by the the szip and zlib filter build commands. (ADB - HDFFV-8695)
-    - CMake: Remove use of XLATE_UTILITY program. (ADB - 2014/03/28 HDFFV-8640)
-    - CMake: Added missing quotes in setting the CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS for the
-      MPI option. (ADB - 2014/02/27 HDFFV-8674)
-    - Modified H5detect.c to scan floating point types for padding bits before
-      analyzing the type further.  This should fix problems with gcc 4.8
-      (NAF - 2013/09/19 - HDFFV-8523/HDFFV-8500)
-    - Fixed Makefile issue in which "-Wl," was not properly specified
-      prior to -rpath when building parallel fortran libraries with
-      an Intel compiler. (MAM - 2012/03/26)
-    - Makefiles generated by other packages using h5cc as the compiler
-      no longer error when 'make' is invoked more than once in order
-      to 'rebuild' after changes to source. (MAM - 2012/03/26)
-    - Added --enable-fortran2003 flag to enable Fortran2003 support
-      in the HDF5 Fortran library. The flag should be used along with the
-      --enable-fortran flag and takes affect only when Fortran compiler
-      is Fortran2003 compliant.         (EIP - 2011/11/14)
-
-    - In Windows platform, the default VFD, was Windows VFD, is restored back
-      to the SEC2, aka POSIX, VFD.  The Windows VFD is deprecated. HDFFV-7740
-      (AKC 2011/09/26)
-    - Removed config/ibm-aix6.x. All IBM-AIX settings are in one file,
-      ibm-aix. (AKC - 2011/4/14)
-    - Shared C libraries are no longer disabled on Mac when Fortran
-      is enabled. Shared Fortran libraries are still not supported on Mac,
-      so configure will disable them by default, but this is overridable
-      with the new --enable-unsupported configure option. The configure
-      summary has been updated to reflect the fact that the shared-ness of
-      the C++/Fortran wrapper libraries may not align with the C library.
-      (MAM - 04/11/2011 - HDFFV-4353).
-    - Removed recognition of the parallel compilers of LAM(hcc) and
-      ChMPIon(cmpicc) since we have no access to these two MPI implementations
-      and cannot verify their correctness. (AKC - 2010/7/14 - Bug 1921)
-    - Removed the following config files, as we no longer support them:
-        config/dec-osf*, config/hpux11.00, config/irix5.x,
-        config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.x config/rs6000-ibm-aix5.x config/unicos*
-      MAM - 2009/10/08
-    - Modified configure and make process to properly preserve user's CFLAGS
-      (and company) environment variables. Build will now properly use
-      automake's AM_CFLAGS for any compiler flags set by the configure
-      process. Configure will no longer modify CFLAGS directly, nor will
-      setting CFLAGS during make completely replace what configure has set up.
-      MAM - 2009/10/08
-    - Support for TFLOPS, config/intel-osf1, is removed since the TFLOPS
-      machine has long retired. AKC - 2009/10/06.
-    - Added $(EXEEXT) extension to H5detect when it's executed in the
-      src/Makfile to generate H5Tinit.c so it works correctly on platforms
-      that require the full extension when running executables.
-      MAM - 2009/10/01 - BZ #1613
-    - Configure will now set FC and CXX to "no" when fortran and c++
-      are not being compiled, respectively, so configure will not run
-      some of the compiler tests for these languages when they are not
-      being used. MAM - 2009/10/01
-    - The PathScale compiler (v3.2) was mistaken as gcc v4.2.0 but it fails to
-      recognize some gcc options. Fixed. (see bug 1301). AKC - 2009/7/28 -
-    - The --enable-static-exec flag will now properly place the -static flag
-      on the link line of all installed executables. This will force the
-      executable to link with static libraries over shared libraries, provided
-      the static libraries are available. MAM - 2009/08/31 - BZ #1583
-    - The --includedir=DIR configuration option now works as intended, and can
-      be used to specify the location to install C header files. The default
-      location remains unchanged, residing at ${prefix}/include.
-      MAM - 2009/03/10 - BZ #1381
-    - Configure no longer removes the '-g' flag from CFLAGS when in production
-      mode if it has been explicitly set in the CFLAGS environment variable
-      prior to configuration. MAM - 2009/03/09 - BZ #1401.
-    - Fixed error with 'make check install' failing due to h5dump
-      needing other tools built first. MAM - 2008/10/24.
-    - Wpen using shared szip, it is no longer necessary to specify
-      the path to the shared szip libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. MAM -
-      2008/10/24.
-    - The file libhdf5_fortran.settings is not installed since its content
-      is included in libhdf5.settings now. AKC - 2008/10/21
-    - "make DESTDIR=xxx install" failed to install some tools and files
-      (e.g., h5cc and fortran modules). Fixed. AKC - 2008/10/8.
-    - Autotools: An export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<szip library location> was
-      removed from configure and make installcheck was revised to run
-      scripts installed in share/hdf5_examples to use the installed h5cc, etc.
-      to compile and run example source files also installed there. Make
-      installcheck will now fail when a shared szip or other external lib file
-      cannot be found in the same manner that executables compiled and linked
-      with h5cc will fail to run when those lib files cannot be found after
-      install.  Make installcheck should pass after setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the
-      szip location.

     Performance
     -------------
-      - Removed program perform/benchpar from the enable-build-all list. The
-    program will be retired or moved to another location. HDFFV-8156
-    (AKC 2012/10/01)
-      - Retired program perform/mpi-perf. Its purpose has been incorporated
-    into h5perf before. (AKC 2012/09/20)

     Fortran
     --------
-      - Fixed a typo in return value of the nh5dread_f_c function ( was 1

-        with other Fortran functions; cleaned the code from debug statements.
-        (EIP - 2012/06/23)
-
-      - Fixed problem writing/reading control characters to a dataset; writing
-        a string containing: alerts, backspace, carriage_return, form_feed,

     Tools
     -----
-        - h5dump subsetting fixed for dims greater then two
-          When a dataset has more then two dimensions, subsetting would incorrectly
-          calculate the data that needed to be displayed.
-          Added in block and stride calculation that account for dimensions greater
-          then two.  NOTE: lines that have line breaks inserted because of display
-          length calculations, may have index info that is incorrect until the next
-          dimension break.  (ADB, 2016/03/04, HDFFV-9698)
-        - h5repack: h5repack would not attempt to remove UD filters. Added a
-          check to h5repack for UD filters that checks if the filter can
-          be dynamically loaded. This will require a change in the library to
-          add the H5PL_load() to the H5Zfilter_avail(). (ADB - 2014/03/03 HDFFV-8629)
-        - h5repack: Fixed failure for converting a layout of small chunked dataset
-          (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.  HDFFV-8214 (JKM 2013/03/18)
-        - h5diff: Fixed to return correct exit code 1 when detect unique extra
-          attribute. Prior to this fix, h5diff returned exit code 0 indicating
-          two files are identical.   HDFFV-7643 (JKM 2013/02/15)
-        - h5diff: Improved speed when comparing HDF5 files with lots of
-          attributes. Much slower performance was identified with release
-          version from 1.8.7 to 1.8.10 compared to 1.8.6. (JKM 2012/10/19)
-        - h5repack: "h5repack -f NONE file1.h5 out.h5" command failed if
-          source file contains chunked dataset and a chunk dim is bigger than
-          the dataset dim. Another issue is that the command changed max dims
-          if chunk dim is smaller than the dataset dim.
-          These issue occurred when dataset size is smaller than 64k (compact
-          size limit)  Fixed both.
-          HDFFV-8012 (JKM 2012/09/24)
-        - h5diff: Fixed not to accumulate attribute difference to dataset
-          difference in verbose mode (-v, -r), which caused incorrect
-          difference between dataset and group/datatype object if attribute
-          exist with any differences. This also lead to fix inconsistent
-          format indicating difference between dataset and group/datatype
-          object. HDFFV-5919 (JKM 2012/09/05)
-        - h5diff: Fixed the incorrect result when comparing attribute data
-          values and the data type has same class but different size.
-          HDFFV-7942  (JKM 2012/08/15)
-        - ph5diff: Fixed intermittent hang issue on a certain operation in
-          parallel mode. It was detected by daily test for comparing
-          non-comparable objects, but it could have occurred in other
-          operations depend on machine condition.  HDFFV-8003 (JKM 2012/08/01)

-        - h5diff: Fixed failure for comparing same named object with different
-          object types in comparing groups. Prior to the fix, h5diff resulted
-          in error. After the fix, h5diff detects such case as non-comparable
-          and display messages accordingly. HDFFV-7664 (JKM 2012/03/28)
-        - h5diff: If unique objects exists only in one file and try to exclude
-          the unique objects with --exclude-path option, h5diff missed

-          Bug #HDFFV-7594  (ABERT & JKM 2011/05/12)
-        - Fixed h5diff to compare file itself correctly. Previously h5diff
-          reported either different or not compatible in certain cases even
-          comparing file itself. This fix also improve performance when
-          comparing same target objects through verifying the obj&file

-        - Updated h5dump test case script to prevent entire test failure upon
-          source directory is read-only. Bug# HDFFV-4342 (JKM 2011/4/12)
-        - Fixed h5dump displaying incorrect values for H5T_STD_I8BE type data in
-          attribute on Big-Endian machine. H5T_STD_I8BE is unsigned 8bit type,
-          so h5dump is supposed to display -2 instead of 254. It worked
-          correctly on Little-Endian system , but not on Big-Endian system.
-          Bug #HDFFV-4358 (JKM 2011/04/08)
-        - Updated to unify option name to '--enable-error-stack' for printing
-          HDF5 error stack messages for HDF5 tools. h5ls and h5dump for now.
-          For h5ls, this replaces "-e/--errors" option, which is deprecated.
-          Bug#2182 (JKM 2011/3/30)
-        - Fix h5diff for --use-system-epsilon option: the calculation changed
-          from ( |a - b| / b ) to ( |a - b| ). This was decided for better
-          performance. Bug#2184 (JKM 2011/3/24)
-        - Fixed output for H5T_REFERENCE in h5dump. According to the BNF document
-          the output of a H5T_REFERENCE should be followed by the type;
-          <reference> ::= H5T_REFERENCE { <ref_type> }
-          <ref_type> ::= H5T_STD_REF_OBJECT | H5T_STD_REF_DSETREG
-          Previously this was only displayed if the -R option was used.
-          Bug#1725 (ADB 2011/3/28)
-        - Fix h5diff issues for #1: h5diff compared attributes correctly only
-          when two objects have the same number of attributes and attribute

-        - Fixed h5dump not to include attribute values in the output file when
-          h5dump "-y -o output_file" options were used. The problem was introduced
-          in HDF5 1.8.6 by showing data pointed by region references. (XCAO 2011/3/9)
-        - Fixed h5copy to be able to copy any object into the same HDF5 file.
-          Previously h5copy displayed error message when target file is same
-          as source file. (XCAO 2011/3/8)
-        - Fixed h5dump for skipping some values for long array type dataset on
-          Windows. This issue only occurred on Windows due to the different
-          return behavior from _vsnprintf() funtion. Bug#2161 (JKM 2011/3/3)
-        - Fixed h5dump for skipping array indices every certain number
-          when the array type dataset is relatively big. The certain number
-          varies according to the size of array. Bug#2092 (JKM 2011/2/15).
-        - Fixed h5diff for the segfault when compares compound datasets
-          with combination of fixed length string types and vlen string types
-          in certain orders. bug#2089 (JKM 2010/12/28)
-        - Improve h5diff performance. 1) use HDmemcmp() before comparing each

-          information at dataset level not each element level for compound
-          datasets
-        - Fixed h5ls to display nested compound type with curly bracket
-          when -S (--simple) option is used with -l (--label), so it shows
-          which member (in curly bracket) belong to which nested compound type
-          and make the output make sense.  bug#1979 (JKM 2010/11/09)
-        - Fixed h5diff to handle variable-length strings in a compound dataset
-          correctly. (also variable-length string array in a compound dataset)

-        - Fixed many problems that could occur when using h5repack with named
-            datatypes. (NAF - 2009/4/20 - 1516/1466)
-        - h5dump, h5diff, h5repack were not reading (by hyperslabs) datasets
-            that have a datatype datum size greater than H5TOOLS_BUFSIZE, a
-            constant defined as 1024Kb, such as array types with large

     --------
-    - The constructor PropList::PropList(id) was fixed to act properly
-      according to the nature of 'id'.  When 'id' is a property class id,
-      a new property list will be created.  When 'id' id a property list id,
-      a copy of the property list will be made. (BMR - 2010/5/9)

-    - NULL pointer accessing was fixed, bugzilla 1061.  (BMR - 2009/10/05)
-    - read/write methods of DataSet and Attribute classes were fixed
-      to handle string correctly.  (BMR - 2009/07/26)
-    - Fixed bug that caused segfaults in Attribute::read. (BMR - 2008/04/20)

-      code changes. Fixed. (AKC - 2013/07/19 HDFFV-8392)
-    - In some Mac system, testlibinfo.sh failed with this error:
-         Check file ../src/.libs/libhdf5.7.dylib
-         strings: object: ../src/.libs/libhdf5.7.dylib malformed object \
-         (unknown load command 15)
-      The strings command of Mac inspects library files and older
-      versions of strings may not know newer library format, resulting
-      in errors.  Fixed by sending the library file as stdin to the strings
-      coommand to avoid this problem. (AKC - 2013/03/08 HDFFV-8305)

-    - Fixed a typo in the ERROR macro in test/testhdf5.h. It segmentation
-      faulted when used before. (AKC - 2013/02/12 HDFFV-8267)
