+ - h5diff: Improved speed when comparing HDF5 files with lots of

+ from 1.8.7 to 1.8.10 compared to 1.8.6. (JKM 2012/10/19)
+ - h5repack: "h5repack -f NONE file1.h5 out.h5" command failed if
+ source file contains chunked dataset and a chunk dim is bigger than
+ the dataset dim. Another issue is that the command changed max dims
+ if chunk dim is smaller than the dataset dim.
+ These issue occurred when dataset size is smaller than 64k (compact
+ size limit) Fixed both.
+ HDFFV-8012 (JKM 2012/09/24)
+ - h5diff: Fixed not to accumulate attribute difference to dataset
+ difference in verbose mode (-v, -r), which caused incorrect
+ difference between dataset and group/datatype object if attribute
+ exist with any differences. This also lead to fix inconsistent
+ format indicating difference between dataset and group/datatype
+ object. HDFFV-5919 (JKM 2012/09/05)

values and the data type has same class but different size.
