+ - Better support for libaec (open-source Szip library) in CMake
+
+ Implemented better support for libaec 1.0.5 (or later) library. This version
+ of libaec contains improvements for better integration with HDF5. Furthermore,
+ the variable USE_LIBAEC_STATIC has been introduced to allow to make use of
+ static version of libaec library. Use libaec_DIR or libaec_ROOT to set
+ the location in which libaec can be found.
+
+ Be aware, the Szip library of libaec 1.0.4 depends on another library within
+ libaec library. This dependency is not specified in the current CMake
+ configuration which means that one can not use the static Szip library of
+ libaec 1.0.4 when building HDF5. This has been resolved in libaec 1.0.5.
