Configuration
-------------
+ - API compatibility with HDF5 1.8 flag was added
+
+ The 1.10 version of the HDF5 Library can be configured to operate identically
+ to the v1.8 library with the --with-default-api-version=v18 configure flag.
+ This allows existing code to be compiled with the v1.10 library without
+ requiring immediate changes to the application source code. For addtional
+ configuration options and other details, see "API Compatibility Macros in HDF5":
+ http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/APICompatMacros.html
- Autotools configuration has been extensively reworked
