Subject: [svn-r3438] Description:     Removed "Limitations of This Release"
 section, which was really         designed for the early releases when we
 didn't yet have full         functionality.     Replaced the "Changes in the
 Current Release" section with pointers         to ADGuide/RELEASE.txt and
 ADGuide/Changes.html.     Corrected reference to H5Dget_vlen_buf_size to read
 H5Dvlen_get_buf_size. Platforms tested:     IE 5
