 ===================================

     -------
+    - Issue #1436 identified a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the
+      H5check_version function.
+
+      Investigating the original fix, #812, we discovered some inconsistencies
+      with a new block added to check H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatibilities.
+      This new block was not using the new warning text dealing with the
+      H5_VERS_RELEASE check and would cause the warning to be duplicated.
+      
+      By removing the H5_VERS_RELEASE argument in the first check for 
+      H5_VERS_MAJOR and H5_VERS_MINOR, the second check would only check
+      the H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatible release versions. This adheres
+      to the statement that except for the develop branch, all release versions
+      in a major.minor maintenance branch should be compatible. The prerequisite
+      is that an application will not use any APIs not present in all release versions.
