C++ API
------
- - None
+ - There are significant changes to the Attribute::getName member functions
+ + Removed H5std_string Attribute::getName(size_t buf_size)
+ + Overloaded Atribute::getName to take a char* for the attribute name:
+ ssize_t Attribute::getName(char* attr_name, size_t buf_size=0)
+ + Switched the arguments in this function:
+ ssize_t getName(size_t buf_size, H5std_string& attr_name)
+ so it became:
+ ssize_t getName(H5std_string& attr_name, size_t buf_size=0)
+ The second argument is then default to 0.
+ - Changed default value from 256 to 0 for two getComment methods
+ - Applied patches from user Jason Newton, where applicable.
