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. + + CHANGES SINCE THE SECOND ALPHA * Strided hyperslab selections in dataspaces now working. |
