These canaries can cause problems + when external filter plugins reallocate canary-marked buffers. + + For this reason, the default will be to not use the memory allocation + sanity check feature in release branches (e.g., hdf5_1_10_7). + Debug builds in development branches (e.g., develop, hdf5_1_10) will + still use them by default. + + This change only affects Autotools debug builds. Non-debug autotools + builds and all CMake builds do not enable this feature by default. + + (DER - 2020/08/19) + + - Add file locking configure and CMake options + + HDF5 1.10.0 introduced a file locking scheme, primarily to help + enforce SWMR setup. Formerly, the only user-level control of the scheme + was via the HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable. + + This change introduces configure-time options that control whether + or not file locking will be used and whether or not the library + ignores errors when locking has been disabled on the file system + (useful on some HPC Lustre installations). + + In both the Autotools and CMake, the settings have the effect of changing + the default property list settings (see the H5Pset/get_file_locking() + entry, below). + + The yes/no/best-effort file locking configure setting has also been + added to the libhdf5.settings file. + + Autotools: + + An --enable-file-locking=(yes|no|best-effort) option has been added. + + yes: Use file locking. + no: Do not use file locking. + best-effort: Use file locking and ignore "disabled" errors. + + CMake: + + Two self-explanatory options have been added: + + HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING + HDF5_IGNORE_DISABLED_FILE_LOCKS + + Setting both of these to ON is the equivalent to the Autotools' + best-effort setting. + + NOTE: + The precedence order of the various file locking control mechanisms is: + + 1) HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable (highest) + + 2) H5Pset_file_locking() + + 3) configure/CMake options (which set the property list defaults) + + 4) library defaults (currently best-effort) + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + - CMake option to link the generated Fortran MOD files into the include + directory. + + The Fortran generation of MOD files by a Fortran compile can produce + different binary files between SHARED and STATIC compiles with different + compilers and/or different platforms. Note that it has been found that + different versions of Fortran compilers will produce incompatible MOD + files. Currently, CMake will locate these MOD files in subfolders of + the include directory and add that path to the Fortran library target + in the CMake config file, which can be used by the CMake find library + process. For other build systems using the binary from a CMake install, + a new CMake configuration can be used to copy the pre-chosen version + of the Fortran MOD files into the install include directory. + + The default will depend on the configuration of + BUILD_STATIC_LIBS and BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: + YES YES Default to SHARED + YES NO Default to STATIC + NO YES Default to SHARED + NO NO Default to SHARED + The defaults can be overriden by setting the config option + HDF5_INSTALL_MOD_FORTRAN to one of NO, SHARED, or STATIC + + (ADB - 2020/07/09, HDFFV-11116) + + - CMake option to use AEC (open source SZip) library instead of SZip + + The open source AEC library is a replacement library for SZip. In + order to use it for hdf5, the libaec CMake source was changed to add + "-fPIC" and exclude test files. A new option USE_LIBAEC is required + to compensate for the different files produced by AEC build. + + Autotools does not build the compression libraries within hdf5 builds, + but will use an installed libaec when configured as before with the + option --with-libsz=<path to libaec directory>. + + (ADB - 2020/04/22, OESS-65) + + - CMake ConfigureChecks.cmake file now uses CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER + + Some handcrafted tests in HDFTests.c have been removed and the CMake + CHECK_STRUCT_HAS_MEMBER module has been used. + + (ADB - 2020/03/24, TRILAB-24) + + - Both build systems use same set of warnings flags + + GNU C, C++ and gfortran warnings flags were moved to files in a config + sub-folder named gnu-warnings. Flags that only are available for a specific + version of the compiler are in files named with that version. + Clang C warnings flags were moved to files in a config sub-folder + named clang-warnings. + Intel C, Fortran warnings flags were moved to files in a config sub-folder + named intel-warnings. + + There are flags in named "error-xxx" files with warnings that may + be promoted to errors. Some source files may still need fixes. + + There are also pairs of files named "developer-xxx" and "no-developer-xxx" + that are chosen by the CMake option:HDF5_ENABLE_DEV_WARNINGS or the + configure option:--enable-developer-warnings. + + In addition, CMake no longer applies these warnings for examples. + + (ADB - 2020/03/24, TRILAB-192) + + - Update CMake minimum version to 3.12 + + Updated CMake minimum version to 3.12 and added version checks + for Windows features. + + (ADB - 2020/02/05, TRILABS-142) + + - Fixed CMake include properties for Fortran libraries + + Corrected the library properties for Fortran to use the + correct path for the Fortran module files. + + (ADB - 2020/02/04, HDFFV-11012) + + - Added common warnings files for gnu and intel + + Added warnings files to use one common set of flags + during configure for both autotools and CMake build + systems.

To do this, it needs + an address sorted list of metadata entries. Further, since flushing + one metadata cache entry can dirty another, this list must support + efficient insertion and deletion. + + The metadata cache uses a skip list of all dirty entries for this + purpose. Before this release, this skip list was maintained at all + times. However, since profiling indicates that this imposes a + significant cost, we now construct and maintain the skip list only + when needed. Specifically, we enable the skip list and load it with + a list of all dirty entries in the metadata cache just before a flush, + and disable it after the flush. + + (JRM - 2020/08/17, HDFFV-11034) + + - Add BEST_EFFORT value to HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING environment variable + + This change adds a BEST_EFFORT to the TRUE/FALSE, 1/0 settings that + were previously accepted. This option turns on file locking but + ignores locking errors when the library detects that file locking + has been disabled on a file system (useful on some HPC Lustre + installations). + + The capitalization of BEST_EFFORT is mandatory. + + See the configure option discussion for HDFFV-11092 (above) for more + information on the file locking feature and how it's controlled. + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + + - Add H5Pset/get_file_locking() API calls + + This change adds new API calls which can be used to set or get the + file locking parameters. The single API call sets both the "use file + locking" flag and the "ignore disabled file locking" flag. + + When opening a file multiple times without closing, the file MUST be + opened with the same file locking settings. Opening a file with different + file locking settings will fail (this is similar to the behavior of + H5Pset_fclose_degree()). + + See the configure option discussion for HDFFV-11092 (above) for more + information on the file locking feature and how it's controlled. + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + - Add Mirror VFD + + Use TCP/IP sockets to perform write-only (W/O) file I/O on a remote + machine. Must be used in conjunction with the Splitter VFD. + + (JOS - 2020/03/13, TBD) + + - Add Splitter VFD + + Maintain separate R/W and W/O channels for "concurrent" file writes + to two files using a single HDF5 file handle. + + (JOS - 2020/03/13, TBD) + + - Fixed an assertion failure in the parallel library when collectively + filling chunks. As it is required that chunks be written in + monotonically non-decreasing order of offset in the file, this assertion + was being triggered when the list of chunk file space allocations being + passed to the collective chunk filling routine was not sorted according + to this particular requirement. + + The addition of a sort of the out of order chunks trades a bit of + performance for the elimination of this assertion and of any complaints + from MPI implementations about the file offsets used being out of order. + + (JTH - 2019/10/07) + + Fortran Library: + ---------------- + - Add wrappers for H5Pset/get_file_locking() API calls + + h5pget_file_locking_f() + h5pset_file_locking_f() + + See the configure option discussion for HDFFV-11092 (above) for more + information on the file locking feature and how it's controlled. + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + - Added new Fortran parameters: + + H5F_LIBVER_ERROR_F + H5F_LIBVER_NBOUNDS_F + H5F_LIBVER_V18_F + H5F_LIBVER_V110_F + + - Added new Fortran API: h5pget_libver_bounds_f + + (MSB - 2020/02/11, HDFFV-11018) + + C++ Library: + ------------ + - Add wrappers for H5Pset/get_file_locking() API calls + + FileAccPropList::setFileLocking() + FileAccPropList::getFileLocking() + + See the configure option discussion for HDFFV-11092 (above) for more + information on the file locking feature and how it's controlled. + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + Java Library: + ---------------- + - Add wrappers for H5Pset/get_file_locking() API calls + + H5Pset_file_locking() + H5Pget_use_file_locking() + H5Pget_ignore_disabled_file_locking() + + Unlike the C++ and Fortran wrappers, there are separate getters for the + two file locking settings, each of which returns a boolean value. + + See the configure option discussion for HDFFV-11092 (above) for more + information on the file locking feature and how it's controlled. + + (DER - 2020/07/30, HDFFV-11092) + + Tools: + ------ + - h5repack added options to control how external links are handled. + + Currently h5repack preserves external links and cannot copy and merge + data from the external files. Two options, merge and prune, were added to + control how to merge data from an external link into the resulting file. + --merge Follow external soft link recursively and merge data. + --prune Do not follow external soft links and remove link. + --merge --prune Follow external link, merge data and remove dangling link. + + (ADB - 2020/08/05, HDFFV-9984) + + High-Level APIs: + --------------- + - None + + C Packet Table API + ------------------ + - None + + Internal header file + -------------------- + - None + + Documentation + ------------- + - None + + +Support for new platforms, languages and compilers. +======================================= + - None + + +Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.6 release +================================== + + Library + ------- + - Fix bug and simplify collective metadata write operation when some ranks + have no entries to contribute.

In + non-debug builds, it will produce normal library errors. + + The new library behavior is for H5Sset_extent_none() to convert + the dataspace into one of type H5S_NULL, which is better handled + by the library and easier for developers to reason about. + + (DER - 2020/07/27, HDFFV-11027) + + - Fixed the segmentation fault when reading attributes with multiple threads + + It was reported that the reading of attributes with variable length string + datatype will crash with segmentation fault particularly when the number + of threads is high (>16 threads). The problem was due to the file pointer + that was set in the variable length string datatype for the attribute. + That file pointer was already closed when the attribute was accessed. + + The problem was fixed by setting the file pointer to the current opened + file pointer when the attribute was accessed. Similar patch up was done + before when reading dataset with variable length string datatype. + + (VC - 2020/07/13, HDFFV-11080) + + - Fixed issue CVE-2018-17438 + + A division by zero was discovered in H5D__select_io() of H5Dselect.c. + https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2018-17438 + + A check was added to protect against division by zero. When such + situation occurs again, the normal HDF5 error handling will be invoked, + instead of segmentation fault. + + (BMR, DER - 2020/07/09, HDFFV-10587) + + - Fixed CVE-2018-17435 + + The tool h52gif produced a segfault when the size of an attribute message + was corrupted and caused a buffer overflow. + + The problem was fixed by verifying the attribute message's size against the + buffer size before accessing the buffer. h52gif was also fixed to display + the failure instead of silently exiting after the segfault was eliminated. + + (BMR - 2020/6/19, HDFFV-10591) + + - Don't allocate an empty (0-dimensioned) chunked dataset's chunk + index, until the dataset's dimensions are increased. + + (QAK - 2020/05/07) + + Configuration + ------------- + - Stopped addition of szip header and include directory path for + incompatible libsz + + szlib.h is the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit szip, and the header file + and its path were added to the HDF5 binary even though the configure + check of a function in libsz later failed and szip compression was not + enabled. The header file and include path are now added only when the + libsz function passes the configure check. + + (LRK - 2020/08/17, HDFFV-10830) + + - Added -fsanitize=address autotools configure option for Clang compiler + + Clang sanitizer options were also added for Clang compilers with CMake. + + (LRK, 2020/08/05, HDFFV-10836) + + - Updated testh5cc.sh.in for functions versioned in HDF5 1.10. + + testh5cc.sh previously tested that the correct version of a function + versioned in HDF5 1.6 or 1.8 was compiled when one of + H5_NO_DEPRECATED_SYMBOLS or H5_USE_16_API_DEFAULT were defined.

Autotools places the +COPYING and RELEASE.txt file in the root folder, CMake places them in +the share folder. + +The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake +creates dynamic versions of the tools with the suffix "-shared". Autotools +installs one set of tools depending on the "--enable-shared" configuration +option. + build scripts + ------------- + Autotools: h5c++, h5cc, h5fc + CMake: h5c++, h5cc, h5hlc++, h5hlcc + +The include folder holds the header files and the fortran mod files. CMake +the share folder. + +The bin folder contains the tools and the build scripts. Additionally, CMake +places the fortran mod files into separate shared and static subfolders, +while Autotools places one set of mod files into the include folder. Because +CMake produces a tools library, the header files for tools will appear in +the include folder. + +The lib folder contains the library files, and CMake adds the pkgconfig +subfolder with the hdf5*.pc files used by the bin/build scripts created by +the CMake build. CMake separates the C interface code from the fortran code by +creating C-stub libraries for each Fortran library. In addition, only CMake +installs the tools library. The names of the szip libraries are different +between the build systems. + +The share folder will have the most differences because CMake builds include +a number of CMake specific files for support of CMake's find_package and support +for the HDF5 Examples CMake project. + + + %%%%1.10.6%%%% HDF5 version 1.10.6 released on 2019-12-23 |
