Purpose:
   Updating HISTORY to include Release 1.2.2.
Solution:
   Added R1.2.2 to HISTORY file (missed in transition to R1.4).
   Section headers -- made sure each section mentioned the release
       for which the section was prepared.
   Added searchable tag ('%%%%') for each section to aid navigation.
Platforms tested:
   Read the file in vi on baldric.
   Printed text file to paper with enscript.

INTRODUCTION
This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.2.1 and
HDF5-1.2.2, and contains information on the platforms where HDF5-1.2.2
was tested and known problems in HDF5-1.2.2.
The HDF5 documentation can be found on the NCSA ftp server
(ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu) in the directory:
/HDF/HDF5/docs/

Features Added since HDF5-1.2.1
===============================
* Added internal free-lists to reduce memory required by the library and
H5garbage_collect API function.
* h5dump displays opaque and bitfield types.
* New features added to snapshots. Use 'snapshot help' to see a
complete list of features.
* Improved configure to detect if MPIO routines are available when
parallel mode is requested.
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.2.1
==========================
* h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes, including simple and
nested compound types.
* h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types.
* Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32-bit
int from HDF5 to HDF4 correctly for the T3E platform.
* Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the
Cray J90 platform. The error did not convert the value 0.0
correctly.
* Fixed error in H5Giterate which was not updating the "index" parameter
correctly.
* Fixed error in hyperslab iteration which was not walking through the
correct sequence of array elements if hyperslabs were staggered in a
certain pattern.
* Fixed several other problems in hyperslab iteration code.
* Fixed another H5Giterate bug which caused groups with large numbers
of objects in them to misbehave when the callback function returned
non-zero values.
* Changed return type of H5Aiterate and H5A_operator_t typedef to be
herr_t, to align them with the dataset and group iterator functions.
* Changed H5Screate_simple and H5Sset_extent_simple to not allow dimensions
of size 0 without the same dimension being unlimited.
* Improved metadata hashing & caching algorithms to avoid
many hash flushes and also removed some redundant I/O when moving metadata
blocks in the file.
* The libhdf5.settings file shows the correct machine byte-sex.
* The "struct(opt)" type conversion function which gets invoked for
certain compound datatype conversions was fixed for nested compound
types. This required a small change in the datatype conversion
function API.
Known Problems
==============
o SunOS 5.6 with C WorkShop Compilers 4.2: hyperslab selections will
fail if library is compiled using optimization of any level.
o TFLOPS: dsets test fails if compiled with optimization turned on.
o J90: tools fail to dispay data for the datasets with a compound datatype.
