+ - Add new public function H5Sselect_adjust.
+
+ This function shifts a dataspace selection by a specified logical offset
+ within the dataspace extent. This can be useful for VOL developers to
+ implement chunked datasets.

+
+ - Add new public function H5Sselect_project_intersection.
+
+ This function computes the intersection between two dataspace selections
+ and projects that intersection into a third selection. This can be useful
+ for VOL developers to implement chunked or virtual datasets.

+
+ - Add new public function H5VLget_file_type.
+
+ This function returns a datatype equivalent to the supplied datatype but
+ with the location set to be in the file. This datatype can then be used
+ with H5Tconvert to convert data between file and in-memory representation.
+ This funcition is intended for use only by VOL connector developers.
