+ The dataset mush 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

+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.2 release
+==================================
+
+ Library
+ -------
+ - Java HDF5LibraryException class
+
+ The error minor and major values would be lost after the
+ constructor executed.
+
+ Created two local class variables to hold the values obtained during
+ execution of the constructor. Refactored the class functions to retrieve
+ the class values rather then calling the native functions.
+ The native functions were renamed and called only during execution
+ of the constructor.
+ Added error checking to calling class constructors in JNI classes.
+
+ (ADB - 2018/08/06, HDFFV-10544)
+
+ - Added checks of the defined MPI_VERSION to guard against usage of
+ MPI-3 functions in the Parallel Compression and "big Parallel I/O"
+ features when HDF5 is built with MPI-2. Previously, the configure
+ step would pass but the build itself would fail when it could not
+ locate the MPI-3 functions used.
+
+ As a result of these new checks, HDF5 can again be built with MPI-2,
+ but the Parallel Compression feature will be disabled as it relies
+ on the MPI-3 functions used.

+ - H5Adelete
+
+ H5Adelete failed when deleting the last "large" attribute that
+ is stored densely via fractal heap/v2 b-tree.
+
+ After removing the attribute, update the ainfo message. If the
+ number of attributes goes to zero, remove the message.

+
+ - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused partial
+ parallel reads of filtered datasets to return incorrect data. The
+ library used the incorrect dataspace for each chunk read, causing
+ the selection used in each chunk to be wrong.
+
+ The bug was not caught during testing because all of the current
+ tests which do parallel reads of filtered data read all of the data
+ using an H5S_ALL selection. Several tests were added which exercise
+ partial parallel reads.
+
+ (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
+
+ - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused parallel
+ writes of filtered datasets to trigger an assertion failure in the
+ file free space manager.
+
+ This occurred when the filter used caused chunks to repeatedly shrink
+ and grow over the course of several dataset writes. The previous chunk
+ information, such as the size of the chunk and the offset in the file,
+ was being cached and not updated after each write, causing the next write
+ to the chunk to retrieve the incorrect cached information and run into
+ issues when reallocating space in the file for the chunk.
+
+ (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10509)
+
+ - A bug was discovered in the parallel library which caused the
+ H5D__mpio_array_gatherv() function to allocate too much memory.
+
+ When the function is called with the 'allgather' parameter set
+ to a non-true value, the function will receive data from all MPI
+ ranks and gather it to the single rank specied by the 'root'
+ parameter. However, the bug in the function caused memory for
+ the received data to be allocated on all MPI ranks, not just the
+ singular rank specified as the receiver. In some circumstances,
+ this would cause an application to fail due to the large amounts
+ of memory being allocated.
+
+ (JTH - 2018/07/16, HDFFV-10467)
+
+ - Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
+
+ h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
+ errors are encountered in the internal library.
+
+ Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
+ Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
+ layout and refcount.
+
+ (VC - 2018/07/11, HDFFV-10333)
+
+ - If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
+ suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
+ the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
+ fault.
+
+ This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
+
+ NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
+ should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
+ or a file created by third-party software.
+
+ THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
+
+ Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
+ H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
+ which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
+ major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.

+
+ Configuration
+ -------------
+ - Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
+
+ There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
+ - Shared libs were not built.
+ - The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
+ - Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
+
+ Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
+
+ (LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
+
+ - Moved the location of gcc attribute.
+
+ The gcc attribute(no_sanitize), named as the macro HDF_NO_UBSAN,
+ was located after the function name. Builds with GCC 7 did not
+ indicate any problem, but GCC 8 issued errors. Moved the
+ attribute before the function name, as required.
+
+ (ADB - 2018/05/22, HDFFV-10473)
+
+ - Reworked java test suite into individual JUnit tests.
+
+ Testing the whole suite of java unit tests in a single JUnit run
+ made it difficult to determine actual failures when tests would fail.
+ Running each file set of tests individually, allows individual failures
+ to be diagnosed easier. A side benefit is that tests for optional components
+ of the library can be disabled if not configured.
+
+ (ADB - 2018/05/16, HDFFV-9739)
+
+ - Converted CMake global commands ADD_DEFINITIONS and INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
+ to use target_* type commands. This change modernizes the CMake usage
+ in the HDF5 library.
+
+ In addition, there is the intention to convert to generator expressions,
+ where possible. The exception is Fortran FLAGS on Windows Visual Studio.
+ The HDF macros TARGET_C_PROPERTIES and TARGET_FORTRAN_PROPERTIES have
+ been removed with this change in usage.
+
+ The additional language (C++ and Fortran) checks have also been localized
+ to only be checked when that language is enabled.
