* Tweaked a few API functions to use 'size_t' instead of 'unsigned' or
'hsize_t', which may cause errors in some cases.
+ * Fixed a bug of H5pubconf.h causing repeated definitions if it is included
+ more than once. hdf5.h now includes H5public.h which includes
+ H5pubconf.h. Applications should #include hdf5.h which handles multiple
+ inclusion correctly.
+ * Fixed H5FDmpio.h to be C++ friendly by making Parallel HDF5 API's to be
+ external to C++.
+ * Fixed a bug in H5FD_mpio_flush() that might result in negative file seek
+ if both MPIO and Split-file drivers are used together.
+ * Added new parallel hdf5 tests in t_mpi. The new test checks if the
+ filesystem or the MPI-IO can really handle greater than 2GB files.
+ If it fails, it prints information message only without failing the
+ test.

* Improved regular hyperslab I/O by about a factor of 6 or so.
+ * Added two simple parallel performance tests as mpi-perf.c (MPI
+ performance) and perf.c (PHDF5 performance) in testpar.
+ * Added a parallel HDF5 example examples/ph5example.c to illustrate
+ the basic way of using parallel HDF5.
+ * Added a new public macro, H5_VERS_INFO, which is a string holding
+ the HDF5 library version information. This string is also compiled
+ into all HDF5 binary code which helps to identify the version information
+ of the binary code. One may use the Unix strings command on the binary
+ file and looks for the pattern "HDF5 library version".
+ * Added new checking in H5check_version() to verify the five HDF5 version
+ information macros (H5_VERS_MAJOR, H5_VERS_MINOR, H5_VERS_RELEASE,
+ H5_VERS_SUBRELEASE and H5_VERS_INFO) are consistent.
