New Features
============
+ * Changed MPI I/O routines to avoid creating MPI derived types (and thus
+ needing to set the file view) for contiguous selections within datasets,
+ which should result in some performance improvement for those types of
+ selections. QAK - 2002/06/18
* Enable MPI type support for collective I/O to be enabled by default.
This can be disabled by setting the HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment
variable to the value "0". QAK - 2002/06/14
- * Allow chunks in chunked datasets to be cached when file is opened for
- read-only access (bug #709). QAK - 2002/06/10
+ * Allow chunks in chunked datasets to be cached when parallel file is
+ opened for read-only access (bug #709). QAK - 2002/06/10
* Added internal "small data" aggregation, which can reduce the number of
actual I/O calls made, improving performance. QAK - 2002/06/05
* Improved internal metadata aggregation, which can reduce the number of
