New Features
============
+ * Changed raw data I/O to only access each chunk once, improving performance
+ in many situations with hyperslabs and large chunks or chunks with
+ filters. These improvements are currently limited to serial I/O, with
+ similar parallel I/O improvements forthcoming sometime in the future.
+ QAK - 2003/05/07
* Added parameter to the MPI/POSIX driver. If GPFS is enabled (by
modifying the H5FDmpiposix.c file to uncomment the USE_GPFS_HINTS
macro), then this extra parameter will turn GPFS hints on and off
