New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype to library. See documentation at:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/planning/DP/ArrayType.html
for complete details on the impact to the library.
Solution:
Changes to the base library include removing the ability of compound
datatype fields to be an array (they can use an array type for the field,
to duplicate the functionality) and adding in the new array datatype
everywhere appropriate. (I hope :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
add testfiles for h4toh5 converter
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
I renamed three files in the fortran/src directory
H5Pf_parallel.c --> H5FDmpiof.c
H5Pff_parallel.f90 --> H5FDmpioff.f90
HDF5_parallel.f90 --> HDF5mpio.f90
Solution:
Updated names in the MANIFEST file.
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
I created ./fortran/testpar directory and added files to it
but forgot to update MANIFEST file.
Solution:
Fixed MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
Bug fix
Description:
"Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved in
the datatype object header message correctly.
Solution:
Store endian-ness and precision in the datatype object header message and
added test to continue to track them working correctly.
This fixes bug #512.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Maintainance
Description:
Updated for the new files I'm adding as well as the tools/talign.c file
missing from last night's tests.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Added site-specific/ subdirectory in config/ directory
Description:
If a machine needs site-specific configure options but those
options don't necessarily apply to all machines of that type,
place them there.
Rearrange code
Description:
The data sieve buffering code for contiguously stored datasets was
wedged in the H5F_arr_read/H5F_arr_write routines.
Solution:
Created a new H5Fcontig.c to hold I/O routines for contiguously stored
datasets (like H5Fistore.c for chunked dataset I/O routines) and moved
data sieving code into those routines.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (i.e. baldric)
