Library:
--------
+ - Add H5L link APIs. Old APIs (H5Glink, H5Gmove, etc.) are still
+ supported but deprecated.
+ New APIs are:
+ H5Llink - create a link to an object given its ID
+ H5Lmove - just like H5Gmove2
+ H5Lcopy - copy a link without copying the underlying object
+ H5Lcreate_hard - like H5Glink2 for hard links
+ H5Lcreate_soft - like H5Glink2 for soft links
+ H5Lunlink - just like H5Gunlink
+ H5Lget_linkval - just link H5Gget_linkval
+ H5Lget_linkinfo - gets link-specific info (like H5Gget_objinfo)
+
+ In addition, H5Gcreate_expand, H5Tcommit_expand, and H5Dcreate_expand
+ no longer create links to objects; objects must be manually linked
+ using H5Llink or they will be deleted when the ID is closed.
+
+ Link Creation Property Lists can be used to pass character
+ encoding (ASCII or UTF-8) for link names and to set the Intermediate
+ Group Creation Flag:
+ H5Pset_char_encoding, H5Pget_char_encoding
+ H5Pset_copy_object, H5Pget_copy_object
