-    -----------
-    - None
+      A private function was inadvertently called, causing memory leaks.  This

-    - None
+    - Changes in exception classes
 
+      Some exception classes are reorganized to reflect the HDF5 object
+      hierarchy and allow customization.
+        DataSetIException -> LocationException -> Exception
+        DataTypeIException -> LocationException -> Exception
+        GroupIException -> LocationException -> Exception
+        AttributeIException -> LocationException -> Exception
+        FileIException -> GroupIException -> LocationException -> Exception
+      Member functions in H5Location and H5Object now throw specific exceptions
+      associated with the invoking objects.
