- CHANGES of HDF5 API
- -------------------
- (Updated: June 22, 1998)
-
-
-Changes Since Version 1.0.0a
-----------------------------
-
-1) H5Pset_mpi and H5Pget_mpi no longer have the access_mode
-argument. (that is taken over by transfer template during
-data read/write.)
-
-2) new functions H5Pset_xfer and H5Pget_xfer to handle the
-specification of independent or collective data transfer_mode
-in the dataset transfer properties list. The properties
-list can be used to specify data transfer mode in the H5Dwrite
-and H5Dread function calls.

+ Parallel HDF5 Changes
+
+* Parallel support for fixed dimension datasets with contiguous or
+ chunked storages. Also, support unlimited dimension datasets which
+ must use chunk storage. No parallel support for compressed datasets.
+
+* Collective data transfer for H5Dread/H5Dwrite. Collective access
+ support for datasets with contiguous storage only, thus only fixed
+ dimension datasets for now.
+
+* H5Pset_mpi and H5Pget_mpi no longer have the access_mode
+ argument. It is taken over by the data-transfer property list
+ of H5Dread/H5Dwrite.
+
+* New functions H5Pset_xfer and H5Pget_xfer to handle the
+ specification of independent or collective data transfer_mode
+ in the dataset transfer properties list. The properties
+ list can be used to specify data transfer mode in the H5Dwrite
+ and H5Dread function calls.
+
+* Added parallel support for datasets with chunked storage layout.
+ When a dataset is extend in a PHDF5 file, all processes that open
+ the file must collectively call H5Dextend with identical new dimension
+ sizes.
