Purpose:
Extracting RELEASE and HISTORY from Changes.html and distributing
them as separate files will not only leave Changes.html easier to
read, but will ease maintenance.
Solution:
Removed the RELEASE and HISTORY files' contents from Changes.html,
inserting links instead.
Changes.html now points to RELEASE.txt and HISTORY.txt, duplicates
of hdf5/RELEASE and hdf5/HISTORY. These two files will
henceforth be distributed within the doc set so that this
information can be available to applications developers who
cannot access the HDF website (e.g., due to a firewall) and
are working without the HDF5 source code.
