The default range <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a2d963b599894f684571fbd4d5e8a96a2abed98059b4a02d048b1eb3985fba5fa1">H5F_LIBVER_EARLIEST</a> (low) - <a class="el" href="_h5_fpublic_8h.html#a47d050173da48a2b85c730446f0771c0">H5F_LIBVER_LATEST</a> (high) offers the widest compatibility range, but may not be suitable for certain (feature-)use cases.<br />
The HDF5 library comes with a <em>forward-</em> and <em>backward-compatibility</em> guarantee: This means that the latest version of the library can always read HDF5 files created by a version realesed earlier (backward compatibility). It also means that a given release of the library can read the contents of HDF5 files created with later versions of the library as long as the files do not contain features introduced in later versions (forward compatibility).</dd></dl>
