HDF5 version 1.11.0 currently under development
================================================================================
INTRODUCTION
This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.10.1 and HDF5 1.10.2, and
contains information on the platforms tested and known problems in HDF5-1.10.1.
For more details check the HISTORY*.txt files in the HDF5 source.
Links to HDF5 1.10.1 source code, documentation, and additional materials can be found on The HDF5 web page at:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/
The HDF5 1.10.1 release can be obtained from:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5.html
User documentation for the snapshot can be accessed directly at this location:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/
New features in the HDF5-1.10.x release series, including brief general
descriptions of some new and modified APIs, are described in the "New Features
in HDF5 1.10" document:
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/docNewFeatures/index.html
All new and modified APIs are listed in detail in the "HDF5 Software Changes
from Release to Release" document, in the section "Release 1.10.1 (current
release) versus Release 1.10.0
https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/ADGuide/Changes.html

Parallel Library:

- Large MPI-IO transfers
Previous releases of PHDF5 would fail when attempting to
read or write greater than 2GB of data in a single IO operation.
This issue stems principally from an MPI API whose definitions
utilize 32 bit integers to describe the number of data elements
and datatype that MPI should use to effect a data transfer.
Historically, HDF5 has invoked MPI-IO with the number of
elements in a contiguous buffer represented as the length
of that buffer in bytes.
Resolving the issue and thus enabling larger MPI-IO transfers
is accomplished first, by detecting when a user IO request would
exceed the 2GB limit as described above. Once a transfer request
is identified as requiring special handling, PHDF5 now creates a
derived datatype consisting of a vector of fixed sized blocks
which is in turn wrapped within a single MPI_Type_struct to
contain the vector and any remaining data. The newly created
datatype is then used in place of MPI_BYTE and can be used to
fulfill the original user request without encountering API
errors.

Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.10.1 release
==================================
Library
-------
-
Configuration
-------------
- cmake
Too many commands for POST_BUILD step caused command line to be
too big on windows.
Changed foreach of copy command to use a custom command with the
use of the HDFTEST_COPY_FILE macro.

Performance

Fortran
--------
-
Tools
-----
- h5dump
h5dump segfaulted on output of XML file.
Function that escape'd strings used the full buffer length
instead of just the length of the replacement string in a
strncpy call. Using the correct length fixed the issue.
(ADB - 2017/08/01, HDFFV-10256)
- h5diff
h5diff segfaulted on compare of a NULL variable length string.
Improved h5diff compare of strings by adding a check for
NULL strings and setting the lengths to zero.
(ADB - 2017/07/25, HDFFV-10246)
- h5import
h5import crashed trying to import data from a subset of a dataset.
Improved h5import by adding the SUBSET keyword. h5import understands
to use the Count times the Block as the size of the dimensions.
Added INPUT_B_ORDER keyword to old-style configuration files.
The import from h5dump function expects the binary files to use native
types (FILE '-b' option) in the binary file.
(ADB - 2017/06/15, HDFFV-10219)
- h5repack
h5repack did not maintain the creation order flag of the root
group.
Improved h5repack by reading the creation order and applying the
flag to the new root group. Also added arguments to set the
order and index direction, which applies to the traversing of the
original file, on the command line.
(ADB - 2017/05/26, HDFFV-8611)
- h5diff
h5diff failed to account for strpad type and null terminators
of char strings. Also, h5diff failed to account for string length
differences and would give a different result depending on file
order in the command line.
Improved h5diff compare of strings and arrays by adding a check for
string lengths and if the strpad was null filled.

Known Problems
==============
At present, metadata cache images may not be generated by parallel
applications. Parallel applications can read files with metadata cache
images, but since this is a collective operation, a deadlock is possible
if one or more processes do not participate.
Known problems in previous releases can be found in the HISTORY*.txt files
in the HDF5 source. Please report any new problems found to
help@hdfgroup.org.
