+    - The high-level API Packet Table (PT) did not write data correctly when
+      the datatype is a compound type that has string type as one of the
+      members.  This problem started in 1.8.15, after the fix of HDFFV-9042
+      was applied, which caused the Packet Table to use native type to access
+      the data.  It should be up to the application to specify whether the
+      buffer to be read into memory in the machine’s native architecture.
+      Thus, the PT is fixed to not use native type but to make a copy of the
+      user's provided datatype during creation or the packet table's datatype
+      during opening.  If an application wishes to use native type to read the
+      data, then the application will request that.  However, the Packet Table
+      doesn't provide a way to specify memory datatype in this release.  This
+      feature will be available in future releases, HDFFV-10023.
