Configuration:
-------------
- - Add toolchain and cross-compile support
+ - Cross compile on mutrino and other Cray XC40 systems.
- Added info on using a toolchain file to INSTALL_CMAKE.txt. A
- toolchain file is also used in cross-compiling, which requires
- CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR to be set. To help with cross-compiling
- the fortran configure process, the HDF5UseFortran.cmake file macros
- were improved. Fixed a Fortran configure file issue that incorrectly
- used #cmakedefine instead of #define.
+ Added support for CMake options to use CrayLinuxEnvironment, craype-mic-knl
+ module for building with craype-haswell module for configuration, and
+ batch scripts in bin/batch for use with sbatch or bsub to run tests in
+ batch jobs on compute nodes. An instruction file README_HPC describing
+ the use of these options was added in release_docs.
- (ADB - 2018/10/04, HDFFV-10594)
+ (LRK - 2019/02/18, TRILABS-34)
- - Add warning flags for Intel compilers
+ - Rework CMake command files to fix MPI testing.
- Identified Intel compiler specific warnings flags that should be used
- instead of GNU flags.
+ Added setup fixture to remove any test generated files and added DEPENDS
+ to test properties to execute tests in order expected.
- (ADB - 2018/10/04, TRILABS-21)
+ (ADB - 2019/02/14, TRILABS-111)
- - Add default rpath to targets
+ - Disable SZIP or ZLIB options if TGZ files are not available.
- Default rpaths should be set in shared executables and
- libraries to allow the use of loading dependent libraries
- without requiring LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set. The default
- path should be relative using @rpath on osx and $ORIGIN
- on linux. Windows is not affected.
+ Changed the TGZ option for SZip and ZLib to disable the options
+ if the source tar.gz files are not found.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/02/05, HDFFV-10697)
+
+ - Added a new option to enable/disable using pread/pwrite instead of
+ read/write in the sec2, log, and core VFDs.
+
+ This option is enabled by default when pread/pwrite are detected.
+
+ Autotools: --enable-preadwrite
+ CMake: HDF5_ENABLE_PREADWRITE
+
+ (DER - 2019/02/03, HDFFV-10696)
+
+ - Rework CMake versioning for OSX platforms.
+
+ Changed the current_version and compatibility_version flags from optional
+ with HDF5_BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_NAME to always setting the flags for OSX.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/01/22, HDFFV-10685)
+
+ - Rework CMake command files to eliminate developer CMP005 warning
+
+ Use variables without quotes in if () statements.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/01/18, TILABS-105)
+
+ - Rework CMake configure files to eliminate developer CMP0075 warning
+
+ Renamed varname to HDF5_REQUIRED_LIBRARIES as the contents were not
+ required for configuration. Also moved check includes calls to top of
+ files.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/01/03, HDFFV-10546)
+
+ - Keep stderr and stdout separate in tests
+
+ Changed test handling of output capture. Tests now keep the stderr
+ output separate from the stdout output. It is up to the test to decide
+ which output to check against a reference. Also added the option
+ to grep for a string in either output.
+
+ (ADB - 2018/12/12, HDFFV-10632)
+
+ - Incorrectly installed private header files were removed from
+ CMake installs.
+
+ The CMake build files incorrectly flagged the following header files
+ as public and installed them. They are private and will no longer be
+ installed.
+
+ HDF5 library private package files (H5Xpkg.h)
+ H5Edefin.h
+ H5Einit.h
+ H5Eterm.h
+ H5LTparse.h
+ h5diff.h
+ h5tools_dump.h

+ h5tools_str.h
+ h5tools_utils.h
+ h5trav.h
+
+ (DER - 2018/10/26, HDFFV-10614, 10609)
+
+ - Autotools installs now install H5FDwindows.h
+
+ This is simply to align the installed header files between the
+ autotools and CMake. H5FDwindows.h has no functionality on
+ non-Windows systems.
+
+ (DER - 2018/10/26, HDFFV-10614)
- (ADB - 2018/09/26, HDFFV-10594)
Library:
--------
- - Allow pre-generated H5Tinit.c and H5make_libsettings.c to be used.
+ - The sec2, log, and core VFDs can now use pread/pwrite instead of
+ read/write.
+
+ pread and pwrite do not change the file offset, a feature that was
+ requested by a user working with a multi-threaded application.
+
+ The option to configure this feature is described above.
+
+ (DER - 2019/02/03, HDFFV-10696)
+
+ - Add ability to minimze dataset object headers.
+
+ Creation of many, very small datasets resulted in extensive file bloat
+ due to extra space in the dataset object headers -- this space is
+ allocated by default to allow for the insertion of a small number of
+ attributes within the object header and not require a continuation
+ block, an unnecessary provision in the target use case.
+
+ Inform the library to expect no attributes on created datasets, and to
+ allocate the least space possible for the object headers.
+ NOTE: A continuation block is created if attributes are added to a
+ 'minimized' dataset, which can reduce performance.
+ NOTE: Some extra space is allocated for attributes essential to the
+ correct behavior of the object header (store creation times, e.g.). This
+ does not violate the design principle, as the space is calculated and
+ allocated as needed at the time of dataset object header creation --
+ unused space is not generated.
+ New API calls:
+ H5Fget_dset_no_attrs_hint
+ H5Fset_dset_no_attrs_hint
+ H5Pget_dset_no_attrs_hint
+ H5Pset_dset_no_attrs_hint
+
+ (JOS - 2019/01/04, TRILAB-45)
+
+ - Added new chunk query functions
+
+ The following public functions were added to discover information about
+ the chunks in an HDF5 file.
+ herr_t H5Dget_num_chunks(dset_id, fspace_id, *nchunks)
+ herr_t H5Dget_chunk_info_by_coord(dset_id, *coord, *filter_mask, *addr, *size)

+
+ (BMR - 2018/11/07, HDFFV-10615)
+
+ - Several empty public header files where removed from the distribution
+
+ The following files were empty placeholders. They are for internal
+ packages that are unlikely to ever have public functionality and have
+ thus been removed.
+
+ H5Bpublic.h
+ H5B2public.h
+ H5FSpublic.h
+ H5HFpublic.h
+ H5HGpublic.h
+ H5HLpublic.h
+
+ They were only installed in CMake builds.
+
+ (DER - 2018/10/26, HDFFV-10614)
+
+
+ Parallel Library:
+ -----------------
+ - Changed the default behavior in parallel when reading the same dataset in its entirety
+ (i.e. H5S_ALL dataset selection) which is being read by all the processes collectively.
+ The dataset must be contiguous, less than 2GB, and of an atomic datatype.
+ The new behavior is the HDF5 library will use an MPI_Bcast to pass the data read from
+ the disk by the root process to the remain processes in the MPI communicator associated
+ with the HDF5 file.
+
+ (MSB - 2019/01/02, HDFFV-10652)
+
+ - All MPI-1 API calls have been replaced with MPI-2 equivalents.
+
+ This was done to better support OpenMPI, as default builds no longer
+ include MPI-1 support (as of OpenMPI 4.0).
+
+ (DER - 2018/12/30, HDFFV-10566)
+
+ Fortran Library:
+ ----------------
+ - Added wrappers for dataset object header minimization calls.
+ (see the note for TRILAB-45, above)
+
+ New API calls:
+
+ h5fget_dset_no_attrs_hint_f
+ h5fset_dset_no_attrs_hint_f
+ h5pget_dset_no_attrs_hint_f
+ h5pset_dset_no_attrs_hint_f
+
+ (DER - 2019/01/09, TRILAB-45)
+
+ - Added new Fortran derived type, c_h5o_info_t, which is interoperable with
+ C's h5o_info_t. This is needed for callback functions which
+ pass C's h5o_info_t data type definition.
+
+ (MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
+
+ - Added new Fortran API, H5gmtime, which converts (C) 'time_t' structure
+ to Fortran DATE AND TIME storage format.
+
+ (MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
+
+ - Added new Fortran 'fields' optional parameter to: h5ovisit_f, h5oget_info_by_name_f,
+ h5oget_info, h5oget_info_by_idx and h5ovisit_by_name_f.
+
+ (MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
+
+ C++ Library:
+ ------------
+ - Added new function to the C++ interface
+
+ Added wrapper for H5Ovisit2:
+ H5Object::visit()
+
+ (BMR - 2019/02/14, HDFFV-10532)
+
+
+ Java Library:
+ ----------------
+ - Rewrote the JNI error handling to be much cleaner
- Rather than always running H5detect and generating H5Tinit.c and
- H5make_libsettings.c, supply a location for those files.
+ (JTH - 2019/02/12)
- (ADB - 2018/09/18, HDFFV-10332)
+ - Add new functions to java interface
+ Added wrappers for:
+ H5Fset_libver_bounds
+ H5Fget_dset_no_attrs_hint/H5Fset_dset_no_attrs_hint
+ H5Pget_dset_no_attrs_hint/H5Pset_dset_no_attrs_hint
-Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.3 release
+ (ADB - 2019/01/07, HDFFV-10664)
+
+ - Fix java unit tests when Time is a natural number
+
+ Time substitution in java/test/junit.sh.in doesn't
+ handle the case when Time is a natural number. Fixed
+ the regular expression.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/01/07, HDFFV-10674)
+
+ - Duplicate the data read/write functions of Datasets for Attributes.
+
+ Region references could not be displayed for attributes as they could
+ for datasets. Datasets had overloaded read and write functions for different
+ datatypes that were not available for attributes. After adding similar
+ functions, attribute region references work normally.
+
+ (ADB - 2018/12/12, HDFVIEW-4)
+
+
+ Tools:
+ ------
+ - The h5repart -family-to-sec2 argument was changed to -family-to-single
+
+ In order to better support other single-file VFDs which could work with
+ h5repart, the -family-to-sec2 argument was renamed to -family-to-single.
+ This is just a name change and the functionality of the argument has not
+ changed.
+
+ The -family-to-sec2 argument has been kept for backwards-compatibility.
+ This argument should be considered deprecated.

+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.4 release
==================================
Library
-------
- - Allow H5detect and H5make_libsettings to take a file as an argument.
+ - Fix hangs with collective metadata reads during chunked dataset I/O
+
+ In the parallel library, it was discovered that when a particular
+ sequence of operations following a pattern of:
+
+ "write to chunked dataset" -> "flush file" -> "read from dataset"
+
+ occurred with collective metadata reads enabled, hangs could be
+ observed due to certain MPI ranks not participating in the collective
+ metadata reads.
+
+ To fix the issue, collective metadata reads are now disabled during
+ chunked dataset raw data I/O.
+
+ (JTH - 2019/02/11, HDFFV-10563, HDFFV-10688)
+
+ - Performance issue when closing an object
+
+ The slow down is due to the search of the "tag_list" to find
+ out the "corked" status of an object and "uncork" it if so.
+
+ Improve performance by skipping the search of the "tag_list"
+ if there are no "corked" objects when closing an object.
+
+ (VC - 2019/02/06)
+
+ - Uninitialized bytes from a type conversion buffer could be written
+ to disk in H5Dwrite calls where type conversion takes place
+ and the type conversion buffer was created by the HDF5 library.
+
+ When H5Dwrite is called and datatype conversion must be performed,
+ the library will create a temporary buffer for type conversion if
+ one is not provided by the user via H5Pset_buffer. This internal
+ buffer is allocated via malloc and contains uninitialized data. In
+ some datatype conversions (float to long double, possibly others),
+ some of this uninitialized data could be written to disk.
+
+ This was flagged by valgrind in the dtransform test and does not
+ appear to be a common occurrence (it is flagged in one test out
+ of the entire HDF5 test suite).
+
+ Switching to calloc fixed the problem.
+
+ (DER - 2019/02/03, HDFFV-10694)
+
+ - There was missing protection against division by zero reported to
+ The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2018-17434.
+
+ Protection against division by zero was added to address the issue
+ #CVE-2018-17434.
+
+ (BMR - 2019/01/29, HDFFV-10586)
+
+ - The issue CVE-2018-17437 was reported to The HDF Group
- Rather than only writing to stdout, add a command argument to name
- the file that H5detect and H5make_libsettings will use for output.
- Without an argument, stdout is still used, so backwards compatibility
- is maintained.
+ Although CVE-2018-17437 reported a memory leak, the actual issue
+ was invalid read. It was found that the attribute name length
+ in an attribute message was corrupted, which caused the buffer
+ pointer to be advanced too far and later caused an invalid read.
- (ADB - 2018/09/05, HDFFV-9059)
+ A check was added to detect when the attribute name or its length
+ was corrupted and report the potential of data corruption.
+
+ (BMR - 2019/01/29, HDFFV-10588)
+
+ - H5Ewalk did not stop when it was supposed to
+
+ H5Ewalk was supposed to stop when the callback function stopped
+ even though the errors in the stack were not all visited, but it
+ did not. This problem is now fixed.
+
+ (BMR - 2019/01/29, HDFFV-10684)
+
+ - Revert H5Oget_info* and H5Ovisit* functions
+
+ In 1.10.3 new H5Oget_info*2 and H5Ovisit*2 functions were
+ added for performance. Inadvertently, the original functions;
+ H5Oget_info,
+ H5Oget_info_by_name,
+ H5Oget_info_by_idx,
+ H5Ovisit,
+ H5Ovisit_by_name
+ were versioned to H5Oget_info*1 and H5Ovisit*1. This
+ broke the API compatibility for a maintenance release. The
+ original functions have been restored.
+
+ (ADB - 2019/01/24, HDFFV-10686)
+
+ - Fixed a potential invalid memory access and failure that could occur when
+ decoding an unknown object header message (from a future version of the
+ library).
+
+ (NAF - 2019/01/07)
+
+ - Deleting attributes in dense storage
+
+ The library aborts with "infinite loop closing library" after
+ attributes in dense storage are created and then deleted.
+
+ When deleting the attribute nodes from the name index v2 B-tree,
+ if an attribute is found in the intermediate B-tree nodes,
+ which may be merged/redistributed in the process, we need to
+ free the dynamically allocated spaces for the intermediate
+ decoded attribute.
+
+ (VC - 2018/12/26, HDFFV-10659)
+
+ - There was missing protection against division by zero reported to
+ The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2018-17233.
+
+ Protection against division by zero was added to address the issue
+ #CVE-2018-17233. In addition, several similar occurrences in the same
+ file were fixed as well.
+
+ (BMR - 2018/12/23, HDFFV-10577)
+
+ - Fixed an issue where the parallel filters tests would fail
+ if zlib was not available on the system. Until support can
+ be added in the tests for filters beyond gzip/zlib, the tests
+ will be skipped if zlib is not available.
+
+ (JTH - 2018/12/05)
- A bug was discovered in the parallel library where an application
- would hang if a collective read/write of a chunked dataset occurred
- when collective metadata reads were enabled and some of the ranks
- had no selection in the dataset's dataspace. The ranks which had no
- selection in the dataset's dataspace called H5D__chunk_addrmap() to
- retrieve the lowest chunk address in the dataset. This is because we
- require reads/writes to be performed in strictly non-decreasing order
- of chunk address in the file.
-
- When the chunk index used was a version 1 or 2 B-tree, these
- non-participating ranks would issue a collective MPI_Bcast() call
- that the participating ranks would not issue, causing the hang. Since
- the non-participating ranks are not actually reading/writing anything,
- the H5D__chunk_addrmap() call can be safely removed and the address used
- for the read/write can be set to an arbitrary number (0 was chosen).
-
- (JTH - 2018/08/25, HDFFV-10501)
+ would eventually consume all of the available MPI communicators
+ when continually writing to a compressed dataset in parallel. This
+ was due to internal copies of an HDF5 File Access Property List,
+ which each contained a copy of the MPI communicator, not being
+ closed at the end of each write operation. This problem was
+ exacerbated by larger numbers of processors.
+
+ (JTH - 2018/12/05, HDFFV-10629)
- Java Library:
- ----------------
- - JNI native library dependencies
-
- The build for the hdf5_java native library used the wrong
- hdf5 target library for CMake builds. Correcting the hdf5_java
- library to build with the shared hdf5 library required testing
- paths to change also.
- (ADB - 2018/08/31, HDFFV-10568)
+ Fortran
+ --------
+ - Fixed issue with Fortran not returning h5o_info_t field values
+ meta_size%attr%index_size and meta_size%attr%heap_size.
- - Java iterator callbacks
+ (MSB, 2019/01/08, HDFFV-10443)
- Change global callback object to a small stack structure in order
- to fix a runtime crash. This crash was discovered when iterating
- through a file with nested group members. The global variable
- visit_callback is overwritten when recursion starts. When recursion
- completes, visit_callback will be pointing to the wrong callback method.
+ - Added symbolic links libhdf5_hl_fortran.so to libhdf5hl_fortran.so and
+ libhdf5_hl_fortran.a to libhdf5hl_fortran.a in hdf5/lib directory for
+ autotools installs. These were added to match the name of the files
+ installed by cmake and the general pattern of hl lib files. We will
+ change the names of the installed lib files to the matching name in
+ the next major release.
- (ADB - 2018/08/15, HDFFV-10536)
+ (LRK - 2019/01/04, HDFFV-10596)
- - Java HDFLibraryException class
+ - Made Fortran specific subroutines PRIVATE in generic procedures.
- Change parent class from Exception to RuntimeException.
+ Affected generic procedures were functions in H5A, H5D, H5P, H5R and H5T.
- (ADB - 2018/07/30, HDFFV-10534)
+ (MSB, 2018/12/04, HDFFV-10511)
- - JNI Read and Write
- Refactored variable-length functions, H5DreadVL and H5AreadVL,
- to correct dataset and attribute reads. New write functions,
- H5DwriteVL and H5AwriteVL, are under construction.
+ Testing
+ -------
+ - Fixed a test failure in testpar/t_dset.c caused by
+ the test trying to use the parallel filters feature
+ on MPI-2 implementations.

t_pflush1/fails on exit
The first two tests fail attempting collective writes.
+ CPP ptable test fails on VS2017 with Intel compiler, JIRA issue: HDFFV-10628.
+ This test will pass with VS2015 with Intel compiler.
+
+ Older MPI libraries such as OpenMPI 2.0.1 and MPICH 2.1.5 were tested
+ while attempting to resolve the Jira issue: HDFFV-10540.
+ The known problems of reading or writing > 2GBs when using MPI-2 was
+ partially resolved with the MPICH library. The proposed support recognizes
+ IO operations > 2GB and if the datatype is not a derived type, the library
+ breaks the IO into chunks which can be input or output with the existing
+ MPI 2 limitations, i.e. size reporting and function API size/count
+ arguments are restricted to be 32 bit integers. For derived types larger
+ than 2GB, MPICH 2.1.5 fails while attempting to read or write data.
+ OpenMPI in contrast, implements MPI-3 APIs even in the older releases
+ and thus does not suffer from the 32 bit size limitation described here.
+ OpenMPI releases prior to v3.1.3 appear to have other datatype issues however,
+ e.g. within a single parallel test (testphdf5) the subtests (cdsetr, eidsetr)
+ report data verfication errors before eventually aborting.
+ The most recent versions of OpenMPI (v3.1.3 or newer) have evidently
+ resolved these isses and parallel HDF5 testing does not currently report
+ errors though occasional hangs have been observed.
