(VC - 2018/07/20, HDFFV-9277)
- Error checks in h5stat and when decoding messages
h5stat exited with seg fault/core dumped when
errors are encountered in the internal library.
Add error checks and --enable-error-stack option to h5stat.
Add range checks when decoding messages: old fill value, old
layout and refcount.
(VC - 2018/07/11, HDFFV-10333)
- If an HDF5 file contains a malformed compound datatype with a
suitably large offset, the type conversion code can run off
the end of the type conversion buffer, causing a segmentation
fault.
This issue was reported to The HDF Group as issue #CVE-2017-17507.
NOTE: The HDF5 C library cannot produce such a file. This condition
should only occur in a corrupt (or deliberately altered) file
or a file created by third-party software.
THE HDF GROUP WILL NOT FIX THIS BUG AT THIS TIME
Fixing this problem would involve updating the publicly visible
H5T_conv_t function pointer typedef and versioning the API calls
which use it. We normally only modify the public API during
major releases, so this bug will not be fixed at this time.

parallel reads of filtered datasets to return incorrect data. The
library used the incorrect dataspace for each chunk read, causing

Configuration
-------------
- Applied patches to address Cywin build issues
There were three issues for Cygwin builds:
- Shared libs were not built.
- The -std=c99 flag caused a SIG_SETMASK undeclared error.
- Undefined errors when buildbing test shared libraries.
Patches to address these issues were received and incorporated in this version.
(LRK - 2018/07/18, HDFFV-10475)
- The --enable-debug/production configure flags are listed as 'deprecated'
when they should really be listed as 'removed'.
In the autotools overhaul several years ago, we removed these flags and
implemented a new --enable-build-mode= flag. This was done because we
changed the semantics of the modes and didn't want users to silently
be exposed to them. The newer system is also more flexible and us to
add other modes (like 'clean').
The --enable-debug/production flags are now listed as removed.
