properly if they caused close() to fail.
* Fixed a bug in internal B-tree code where a B-tree was not being copied
correctly.
* Fixed an off-by-one error in H5Sselect_valid when hyperslab selections
which would allow hyperslab selections which overlapped the edge of the
selection by one element as valid.
* Fixed the internal macros used to encode & decode file metadata, to avoid
an unaligned access warning on IA64 machines.
* Corrected behavior of H5Tinsert to not allow compound datatype fields to
be inserted past the end of the datatype.
* Retired the DPSS virtual file driver (--with-gridstorage configure
option).
* Fixed bug where variable-length datatypes for attributes was not working
correctly.
Configuration
-------------
@ -104,6 +115,8 @@ Configuration
HDF version 4.1r3 and newer meets this requirement. The compress2
uses a newer compression algorithm used by the HDF5 library. Also,
4.1r3 has an hdp tool that can handle "loops" in Vgroups.
* Can use just enable-threadsafe if the C compiler has builtin pthreads
support.

writing.
* Improved performance of non-contiguous hyperslabs (built up with
several hyperslab selection calls).
* Removed H5P(get|set)_hyper_cache API function, since the property is no
longer used.
* Added a new file access property, file close degree, to control file
close behavior. It has four values, H5F_CLOSE_WEAK, H5F_CLOSE_SEMI,
H5F_CLOSE_STRONG, and H5F_CLOSE_DEFAULT. Two correspont functions
H5Pset_fclose_degree and H5Pget_fclose_degree are also provided. Two
new functions H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids are offerted to assist
this new feature. For full details, please refer to the reference
manual under the description of H5Fcreate, H5Fopen, H5Fclose and the
functions mentioned above.
* Changed internal error handling macros to reduce code size of library by
about 10-20%.
* Added H5Rget_obj_type() API function, which performs the same functionality
as H5Rget_object_type(), but requires the reference type as a parameter
in order to correctly handle dataset region references. Moved
H5Rget_object_type() to be only compiled into the library when v1.4
compatibility is enabled.
* Parallel HDF5 is now supported on HP-UX 11.00 platforms.
