New Features
============
+ * Added 'closing' parameter to VFL 'flush' callback function and H5FDflush.
+ This allows the library to indicate that the file will be closed
+ immediately following the call to 'flush' and can be used to avoid actions
+ that are duplicated in the VFL 'close' callback function. QAK - 2002/05/20
+ * Added feature to parallel chunk allocation routine to not write fill
+ values to chunks allocated if the user has set the "fill time" to never.
+ This can improve parallel I/O performance for chunked
+ datasets. QAK - 2002/05/17
+ * Changed method for allocating chunked dataset blocks in parallel to only
+ allocate blocks that don't already exist, instead of attempting to create
+ all the blocks all the time. This improves parallel I/O performance for
+ chunked datasets. QAK - 2002/05/17
+ * Allowed the call to MPI_File_sync to be avoided when the file is going to
+ immediately be closed, improving performance. QAK - 2002/05/13
+ * Allow the metadata writes to be shared among all processes, easing the
+ burden on process 0. QAK - 2002/05/10
* New functions H5Glink2 and H5Gmove2 were added to allow link and move to
be in different locations in the same file. The old functions H5Glink
and H5Gmove remain valid. SLU - 2002/04/26

- Added aditional parameter "dims" to the h5dread/h5dwrite and
h5aread/h5awrite subroutines. This parameter is 1D array of size
7 and contains the sizes of the data buffer dimensions.
