-Release information for hdf5-1.0.23a
+Release information for hdf5-1.0.0
------------------------------------
+
+ CHANGES SINCE THE BETA RELEASE
+
+* Added fill values for datasets. For contiguous datasets fill value
+ performance may be quite poor since the fill value is written to the
+ entire dataset when the dataset is created. This will be remedied
+ in a future version. Chunked datasets using fill values do not
+ incur any additional overhead. See H5Pset_fill_value().
+
+* Multiple hdf5 files can be "mounted" on one another to create a
+ larger virtual file. See H5Fmount().
+
+* Object names can be removed or changed but objects are never
+ actually removed from the file yet. See H5Gunlink() and H5Gmove().
+
+* Added a tuning mechanism for B-trees to insure that sequential
+ writes to chunked datasets use less overhead. See H5Pset_btree_ratios().
+
+* Various optimizations and bug fixes.
