Release information for hdf5-1.0.23a
Release information for hdf5-1.0.0
------------------------------------
CHANGES SINCE THE BETA RELEASE
* Added fill values for datasets. For contiguous datasets fill value
performance may be quite poor since the fill value is written to the
entire dataset when the dataset is created. This will be remedied
in a future version. Chunked datasets using fill values do not
incur any additional overhead. See H5Pset_fill_value().
* Multiple hdf5 files can be "mounted" on one another to create a
larger virtual file. See H5Fmount().
* Object names can be removed or changed but objects are never
actually removed from the file yet. See H5Gunlink() and H5Gmove().
* Added a tuning mechanism for B-trees to insure that sequential
writes to chunked datasets use less overhead. See H5Pset_btree_ratios().
* Various optimizations and bug fixes.
CHANGES SINCE THE SECOND ALPHA
* Strided hyperslab selections in dataspaces now working.
