[svn-r286] Changed release name from "hdf-5.0.0a" to "hdf5-1.0.0a" to explicitly make it clear that this release is not [currently] compatible with the older HDF releases.

The `x' was removed from the name to remind us of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc. H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1' for one of the arguments anyway.

Thanks, Albert! This fix combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the library from failing an assertion if the application uses an unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4). ./src/H5MF.c ./src/H5MFprivate.h Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an undefined address is allowed.

CHANGES SINCE THE FIRST ALPHA
* Two of the packages have been renamed. The data space API has been
renamed from `H5P' to `H5S' and the property list (template) API has
been renamed from `H5C' to `H5P'.
* The new attribute API `H5A' has been added. An attribute is a small
dataset which can be attached to some other object (for instance, a
4x4 transformation matrix attached to a 3-dimensional dataset, or an
English abstract attached to a group).
* The error handling API `H5E' has been completed. By default, when an
API function returns failure an error stack is displayed on the
standard error stream. The H5Eset_auto() controls the automatic
printing and H5E_BEGIN_TRY/H5E_END_TRY macros can temporarily
disable the automatic error printing.
* Support for large files and datasets (>2GB) has been added. There
is an html document that describes how it works. Some of the types
for function arguments have changed to support this: all arguments
pertaining to sizes of memory objects are `size_t' and all arguments
pertaining to file sizes are `hsize_t'.
* More data type conversions have been added although none of them are
fine tuned for performance. There are new converters from integer
to integer and float to float, but not between integers and floating
points. A bug has been fixed in the converter between compound
types.
* The numbered types have been removed from the API: int8, uint8,
int16, uint16, int32, uint32, int64, uint64, float32, and float64.
Use standard C types instead. Similarly, the numbered types were
removed from the H5T_NATIVE_* architecture; use unnumbered types
which correspond to the standard C types like H5T_NATIVE_INT.
* More debugging support was added. If tracing is enabled at
configuration time and the HDF5_TRACE environment variable is set to
a file descriptor then all API calls will emit the function name,
argument names and values, and return value on that file number.
There is an html document that describes this. If appropriate
debugging options are enabled at configuration time, some packages
will display performance information on stderr.
* Data types can be stored in the file as independent objects and
multiple datasets can share a data type.
* The raw data I/O stream has been implemented and the application can
control meta and raw data caches, so I/O performance should be
improved from the first alpha release.
* Group and attribute query functions have been implemented so it is
now possible to find out the contents of a file with no prior
knowledge.
* External raw data storage allows datasets to be written by other
applications or I/O libraries and described and accessed through
HDF5.
* Hard and soft (symbolic) links are implemented which allow groups to
share objects.
* User-defined data compression is implemented although we may
generalize the interface to allow arbitrary user-defined filters
which can be used for compression, checksums, encryption,
performance monitoring, etc. The publicly-available `deflate'
method is predefined if the GNU libz.a can be found at configuration
time.
* The configuration scripts have been modified to make it easier to
build debugging vs. production versions of the library.
* The library automatically checks that the application was compiled
with the correct version of header files.
[svn-r484] CHANGES_API: Removed. Changes entered to RELEASE. MANIFEST: Updated for the removal of CHANGES_API. RELEASE: Updated with "Parallel HDF5 Changes".
1998-07-13 14:03:41 +08:00
Parallel HDF5 Changes
* Parallel support for fixed dimension datasets with contiguous or
chunked storages. Also, support unlimited dimension datasets which
must use chunk storage. No parallel support for compressed datasets.
* Collective data transfer for H5Dread/H5Dwrite. Collective access
support for datasets with contiguous storage only, thus only fixed
dimension datasets for now.
* H5Pset_mpi and H5Pget_mpi no longer have the access_mode
argument. It is taken over by the data-transfer property list
of H5Dread/H5Dwrite.
* New functions H5Pset_xfer and H5Pget_xfer to handle the
specification of independent or collective data transfer_mode
in the dataset transfer properties list. The properties
list can be used to specify data transfer mode in the H5Dwrite
and H5Dread function calls.
* Added parallel support for datasets with chunked storage layout.
When a dataset is extend in a PHDF5 file, all processes that open
the file must collectively call H5Dextend with identical new dimension
sizes.

LIST OF API FUNCTIONS
[svn-r198] Changes since 19980129 ---------------------- ./INSTALL ./INSTALL_MAINT ./README Updated installation instructions for hdf-5.0.0a. ./RELEASE Updated release notes. Needs more work. ./bin/release The tarballs include the name of the root directory like hdf-5.0.0a so it doesn't have to be explicitly created when the files are extracted.
1998-01-30 05:56:06 +08:00
The following functions are implemented. Errors are returned if an
attempt is made to use some feature which is not implemented and
printing the error stack will show `not implemented yet'.
[svn-r204] Changes since 19980129 ---------------------- ./RELEASE Added Library functions that I missed the first time. ./html/Datasets.html Added an example for Elena's question about how to read a single member of a compound data type so it becomes an array of that member in memory. ./src/H5Pprivate.h Fixed the prototype for H5P_get_hyperslab() to match the definition. ./src/H5Psimp.c Oops, added the kludge back in for the offset argument, which is still an `intn' instead of a `size_t'. ./src/H5.c ./src/H5public.h ./src/H5F.c ./src/H5T.c ./src/H5Tpublic.h Changed H5init() to H5open() and added an H5close() to fit our create/open/close paradigm. The H5open() happens automatically on the first call to the HDF5 library. The H5close() happens automatically on exit() (unless the app turns off that feature). H5close() closes all datasets and files and releases all resources used by the library. ./test/dsets.c Added calls to H5open() and H5close() to test them. ./test/dtypes.c Removed call to H5init() since we no longer need it there. ./src/H5Fstdio.c Changed the PABLO_MASK to the right value. Thanks Kim.

Release information for parallel HDF5
-------------------------------------
+) Current release supports independent access to fixed dimension datasets
only.
+) The comm and info arguments of H5Cset_mpi are not used. All parallel
I/O are done via MPI_COMM_WORLD. Access_mode for H5Cset_mpi can be
H5ACC_INDEPENDENT only.
[svn-r282] Revised the to-do items list for PHDF5.
1998-02-17 05:05:08 +08:00
+) This release of parallel HDF5 has been tested on IBM SP2 and SGI
Origin 2000 systems. It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface
for parallel I/O supports.
[svn-r276] Added the "Release information for parallel HDF5" section.
1998-02-16 12:39:58 +08:00
+) Useful URL's.
Parallel HDF webpage: "http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Parallel_HDF/"
ROMIO webpage: "http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/thakur/romio/"
[svn-r282] Revised the to-do items list for PHDF5.
1998-02-17 05:05:08 +08:00
+) Some to-do items for future releases
support for Intel Teraflop platform.
support for unlimited dimension datasets.
support for file access via a communicator besides MPI_COMM_WORLD.
support for collective access to datasets.
support for independent create/open of datasets.
