----------------------

./INSTALL
./doc/html/Compression.html
./doc/html/Filters.html
	Disassociated GNU from zlib.  Did not change the introduction
	which incorrectly states that compression in hdf5 is available
	only if GNU gzip is available (should read zlib).

	Changed a typo in INSTALL to match what is documented in
	various other places: that zlib 1.1.2 (not 1.0.2) or better is
	required for compression.

	Added a reference to the main zlib web page in various places.

./src/H5Fistore.c
	Fixed a typo in a comment.

./src/H5Flow.c
	Removed carriage returns from the end of lines.

./test/dsets.c
	The deflate compression tests are still run but `-SKIP-' is
	printed instead of `PASSED' if the zlib library was not
	detected at configuration time. The tests check that the
	compression layer (H5Z) is correctly bypassed.

82fb21b613 [svn-r985] Checking in changes from "HDF5 Release 1.0" CVS branch that have not yet
been checked into "HDF5 Development" branch.

General
=======
	Various "copy edit" types of repairs.
	Revisions to document cross-linking.
	Added structural links tying all docs together (banners
	   at top and bottom of documents, similar to Reference Manual
	   banners of the Beta release).
	Set background color to white in all documents.

NCSAfooterlogo.gif
hdf2.jpg
	New image files to make the documents more self-contained
	(i.e., to prevent loading images from NCSA and HDF home servers).

index.html
	Redesigned to isolate links external to the installation
	in a single location.


Intro to HDF5
=============
H5.intro.html
	Fixed banner linking Intro to other docs.
	Set all URLs to be relative within the distribution; nothing
	   points back to the HDF server.
	Updates to "Limits of the Current Release" and "Changes in
	   the Current Release."


HDF5 User's Guide
=================
	Changed several User Guide section titles such that all
	   sections that are primarily about a particular interface
	   are now titled in the format "The xxxxx Interface (H5x)".

H5.user.html
	Commented out links to developer docs since they are marked
	   in MANIFEST as not being for distribution in the release.
	Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page.
	Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables.

Datatypes.html
	Removed the sentence "I'm deferring definition until later
	   since they're probably not as important as the other data
	   types." from Section 3.3, "Properties of Date and Time
	   Atomic Types."
	Added info regarding 'char' versus 'string' datatypes.  Added
	   as Section 3.7, "Character and String Datatype Issues."

References.html
	Commented out substantial material (at end of document) from
	   References planning document that is not appropriate for
 	   the User Guide but that is worth keeping around.

Groups.html
	Final edits from elimination of "current working group."


HDF5 Reference Manual
=====================
	Removed "Draft" from the <title>__</title> lines.

RM_H5Front.html
	Removed 2nd and 3rd indices from page.
	Changed "freeform" lists of sections (TOCs) to aligned tables.

RM_H5F.html
RM_H5P.html
	Add file mounting information.

----------------------

./INSTALL
	Added warning that enabling debugging code can adversely
	affect performance even when the debugging isn't turned on at
	run-time. Performance testing shows that under certain
	circumstances (like data type conversions of compound types)
	the H5_timer functions, although only a few lines each,
	contribute a fairly large percent to the execution time.

./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tpublic.h
	Improved the H5Tunregister() function to make unregistering
	more flexible.  It takes the same arguments as H5Tregister()
	but also accepts wild cards.  All conversion functions that
	match the H5Tunregister() search criteria are removed from the
	global type conversion table.

	The H5Tregister_hard() and H5Tregister_soft() were combined
	into a single function called H5Tregister() which is the
	counterpart to H5Tunregister(). A new `persistence' argument
	was added to differentiate between the two types of conversion
	functions.

	The application is allowed to register a hard conversion
	function for the no-op conversion path although the library
	isn't obligated to call it (it usually does). This is mostly
	for completeness, but the application might use it to help
	determine if the raw data pipeline was able to use the
	optimized path for the case when no type conversion is
	necessary. The library doesn't allow this path to be
	unregistered although the application can redefine it as often
	as it likes.

	Fixed the type conversion tables in preparation for MT-safety
	and to fix previosly-known design bugs wrt. unregistering
	conversion functions or changing the C function associated
	with a conversion path. The MT-safety stuff is documented in a
	separate white paper.

	Increased the conversion function debugging name from 9
	characters to 31 characters so the output can be more
	descriptive.

	Moved conversion path statistics from the H5T_cdata_t member
	into the conversion path itself.  This makes H5T_cdata_t
	contain only application-visible data structures.

./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Ofill.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5T.c
	Improved the way type conversion functions are called so the
	caller doesn't have to check for data type debugging and
	increment type conversion timers and statistics.

	Changed check for no-op conversion since it is now
	application-definable and there may even be more than one
	definition at a time in a multi-threaded application (one
	thread might be using the no-op conversion path when some
	other thread changes its definition -- the first thread still
	sees the original defintion until it's done with the
	operation).

./doc/html/Datatypes.html
	Updated the user guide to reflect the changes to data type
	conversion registration functions.

./bin/trace
./src/H5.c
	Added tracing support for the new H5T_pers_t data type.

./test/dtypes.c
	Added printf to display alignment value if non-aligned data
	types are being tested.

./test/h5test.c
	Modified the H5Tunregister() calls to use the new
	arguments. All 94 of those calls can be replaced by a single
	call to the new H5Tunregister() function.

./src/H5.c
	Added HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY around an auto variable and
	initialized the elapsed time to zero when gettimeofday() is
	not available.

./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
	Added an H5*_init() functions which do the same thing as
	H5*_init_interface() but can be called from other packages and
	don't do anything if the interface is already initialized.
	This fixes a couple memory leaks in applications that
	repeatedly close and open the library with H5close().

./src/H5Tconv.c
	Optimized some data alignment code in the hardware conversion
	functions.

	Hardware conversions accumulate statistics about source and
	destination data alignment and print that information when the
	conversion function is unregistered (usually when the
	application exits) if data type debugging is compiled into the
	library and enabled at run-time.

	The conversion caching was cleaned up for the compound data
	type conversion function. It now caches conversion paths in a
	manner that will be MT-safe and is much simpler than the old
	method. Also cleaned up some array index maps.

./src/H5detect.c
	Fixd mispelling of alingemnt.

./src/H5private.h
	Changed `TRUE' to `1' in assignment to interface_initialize_g
	in FUNC_ENTER macro definition.

./tools/testh5dump.sh
	Completely rewritten to make it shorter, better documented,
	and conforming to most of the other test outputs.

	The comparison of the actual output with the expected output
	is insensitive to differences in white space.  The test now
	passes for the first time on Linux where the output width
	wasn't as expected but the output was otherwise correct.

	Renamed the old H5T_NATIVE_CHAR type to H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR to
	denote that it is always signed.

	Added a new H5T_NATIVE_CHAR type which has the same range,
	representation, and behavior as either H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR or
	H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR depending on the compiler and its
	command-line switches for the application source file which
	references H5T_NATIVE_CHAR. If source files are compiled with
	different switches then each source file will resolve
	H5T_NATIVE_CHAR appropriately so it matches the C type `char'
	in that source file.

	NOTE: THERE ARE OTHER DOCUMENTATION FILES THAT I DIDN'T CHANGE
	BECAUSE I CAN'T MODIFY THE SOURCE.

./test/extend.c
	Swapped two lines to prevent diagnostic messages from messing
	up the formatted output.

4354606d1e [svn-r949] Changes since 19981124
----------------------

./src/H5T.c
	Fixed a typo in the registration of the `unsigned char' to
	`unsigned long long' type conversion that caused it to not be
	registered, falling back to software whenever that conversion
	path was taken.

./MANIFEST
./test/Makefile.in
./test/testhdf5.c
./test/testhdf5.h
./test/theap.c		[REMOVED]
./test/lheap.c		[NEW]
./test/tohdr.c		[REMOVED]
./test/ohdr.c		[NEW]
./test/tstab.c		[REMOVED]
./test/stab.c		[NEW]
	Removed the `t' from the front of these names and made each
	test a stand-alone program following the format of most of the
	other tests.

./test/big.c
	Uses libh5test.a but always sets the low-level driver to 1GB
	file family.

	The `#if' near the top to set the data space to 8GB has been
	simplified now that `long_long' is always defined and the
	error message is improved when `long_long' isn't wide enough.

	Cleanup code was added to the error handling.

./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
	Uses libh5test.a.  Added error cleanup code.

./test/dtypes.c
./test/h5test.c
	Added 68 new tests that check hardware and software
	conversions between `long long' and `unsigned long long' and
	the other integer types.  The tests only run on machines where
	sizeof(long_long)!=sizeof(long).  We test a total of 180
	different integer conversions, half in hardware and half in
	software.

	Cut down the number of times each test is run from 5 to 1 so
	it doesn't take so long.  If you want to run more times
	there's a constant that can be changed at the top of the file.

./test/extend.c
	Removed unused variable.

./test/h5test.c
./test/h5test.h
./test/external.c
./test/fillval.c
	The h5_cleanup() returns true/false so it can be used in an `if'
	statement to clean up additional files.

./doc/html/Environment.html
	Indented.  Added HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_DRIVER descriptions.

./src/H5P.c
	Changed the trace type for the second argument from `Iu' to
	`x' since it's an output parameter.

./INSTALL
	Added a warning that the GNU zlib that comes with the latest
	version of HDF4 is too old to use with HDF5 and must be
	renamed so configure doesn't see it when `--enable-hdf4' is
	used.

19ec99786a [svn-r745] Changes since 19981002
----------------------

./doc/html/H5.format.html
./src/H5HG.c
	Fixed a bug in the global heap that caused H5HG_read() to
	write past the end of the buffer in certain cases.

./test/big.c
	The test is skipped if hdf5 was configured with
	`--disable-hsizet'.

./src/H5Ofill.c
	Data type conversions are implemented for the fill value.

./src/H5.c
	Tracing prints one of H5P_FILE_CREATE, H5P_FILE_ACCESS,
	H5P_DATASET_CREATE, H5P_DATASET_XFER, or H5P_MOUNT instead of
	the more cryptic H5I_TEMPLATE_* constants.

./src/H5D.c
	Removed prototype for H5D_find_name().

./src/H5I.c
	The GROUP_MASK and ID_MASK are both calculated from GROUP_BITS
	instead of being set by hand.

	We don't use the sign bit of hid_t; all valid hid_t values are
	positive so we can say things like `if ((file=H5Fopen(...))<0)'.

	Changed `(int)pow(2.0,x)' to `1<<x' so we don't have to worry
	about rounding.

	Fixed H5I_get_type() so it doesn't always fail an assertion.

./src/H5E.c
./src/H5Epublic.h
	Added minor error H5E_MOUNT

./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
	Added H5Fmount() and H5Funmount().  Mounting and unmounting
	works as documented but some of the other things aren't
	implemented yet, the biggest being current working groups
	always acting on the root of the mount tree, and H5Fclose()
	closing the entire tree.  The rest of the stuff will be added
	shortly...

./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
	Added the H5P_MOUNT property list but haven't implemented any
	particular properties for it yet.

./src/H5Gstab.c
	Hard links across files return an error instead of failing an
	assertion.

H5.c
	Fixed core dump with setvbuf() for debugging.

H5Fistore.c
	Fixed bug with sparse datasets.

H5Omtime.c
	Found a typo in "Posix Programmer's Guide".  The `%z' in the
	strftime() should be `%Z' instead.

H5T.c
H5Tpublic.h
	Improved api tracing for H5Tinsert_array().

	Changed the values of the H5T_str_t type in order to make a
	distinction between C's null terminated strings and strings
	which are not null terminated.

	The string character set and padding method are saved to the
	hdf5 file instead of using defaults.

	Added conversion function from one fixed-length string type

acd04a1aa6 [svn-r579] Changes since 19980806
----------------------

./config/solaris2.5
	Hopefully set up now so it honors the CC and CFLAGS variables
	and understands solaris cc flags.

./test/big.c
	Checks to see if creating lots of large sparse files exceeds
	the user disk quota and skips the test.  It also checks that
	we can actually open ~64 files at once.

./doc/html/Files.html
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5Aprivate.h
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fpublic.h
	Added the H5Fflush() function which takes any object as an
	argument as long as the object is in some way associated with
	a file.  This required an H5A_entof()

./src/H5.c
./src/H5Flow.c
	The `%a' format of HDfprintf() now allows a field width and
	justification flag etc, like the other formats.  The old
	H5F_addr_print() was recoded to call HDfprintf() instead of
	vice versa.

./src/H5Ocomp.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5Ppublic.h
./src/H5Z.c
./src/H5Zprivate.h
	Added two extra arguments to H5Pget_filter() in order to
	retrieve the filter name.  The name is the name registered for
	the filter with H5Zregister(), but if the dataset creation
	property originally came from an existing file then the name
	is that which is stored in the file.

./tools/h5ls.c
	The `-v' option now prints the names of the filters.

./src/H5B.c
./src/H5Fistore.c
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5P.c
	Plugged a memory leak.

./src/H5MMprivate.h
	H5MM_malloc(0) and H5MM_calloc(0) actually allocate a single
	byte in order to be sure that we get a valid pointer.

./src/H5S.c
./src/H5Sselect.c
	Fixed pointer->integer conversions in error return values in
	three places.

	Added the data filter pipeline, a generalization of the
	compression stuff which allows things like checksums,
	encryption, compression, performance monitoring, etc.  See
	./doc/html/Filters.html for details -- it replaces the
	Compression.html doc.

./src/H5T.c
	Cleaned up debugging output.

./config/linux
	Added checks for egcs and pgcc and changed optimization flags
	for the compilers.

./src/H5G.c
./tools/h5dump.c
	Fixed compiler warnings in these files and others.

./configure.in
./src/H5private.h
./test/mtime.c

	something else on systems that don't have difftime().

a34534c9b8 [svn-r546] Changes since 19980724
----------------------

./MANIFEST
./doc/html/H5.format.html
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Omtime.c	[NEW]
./src/H5private.h
./src/Makefile.in
	Added the modification time message.  If an object header has
	this message then it's value is updated with the current time
	whenever anything changes in the object header.

./acconfig.h
./configure.in
	Alas, there seems to be no standard way to convert a string
	time like 19980727122800 in UTC to a time_t since mktime()
	only converts local times to time_t.  So I've modified the
	configuration to check for various ways of getting the time
	zone information:

	   * Added checks for the `tm_gmtoff' field of `struct tm'.
	   * Added a check for the `timezone' global variable.
	   * Added a check for `struct timezone'.
	   * Added a check for BSDgettimeofday().
	   * Added a check for gettimeofday() although it doesn't
	     actually set the timezone argument on some systems.
	   * Added a check to see if `tm_zone' is a member of `struct tm'.
	   * Added a check to see if `tzname' is a global variable.
	   * Added a check to see if `struct tm' is defined in time.h
	     or sys/time.h.

	It's not difficult to get the right UTC modification message
	into the object header, but some systems might have problems
	getting the right time back out (Irix64 is one) and those
	systems will report zero for the H5G_stat_t.mtime from an
	H5Gstat() call as if the mtime message isn't even present.  It
	will, however, continue to be updated as normal.

./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
	The H5G_stat_t struct now contains an `mtime' field which will
	hold the object modification time.  If the object has no
	object modification time then the `mtime' will be initialized
	to zero.

	Fixed a bug in H5G_stat() that caused the `objno' field of the
	H5G_stat_t to be set incorrectly on some machines.

./src/H5D.c
	Writing to external datasets fail if the hdf5 file is not open
	for writing.

	A modification time message is added to the dataset object
	header when it's created and H5O_touch() is called from
	H5D_write() to update that message.

./src/H5T.c
	Fixed a bug in H5Tget_member_dims() that caused a segmentation
	fault if one of the output array arguments was the null
	pointer.

	Relaxed the member dimension checking in H5Tinsert_array() so
	it can also be used for scalar members.

./test/Makefile.in
	Added additional file names to the `mostlyclean' target.

./tools/h5dump.c
./tools/h5tools.h
	Increased the temporary buffer size to 1MB.

	Added support for printing compound data types with array
	members.

	When printing H5T_NATIVE_CHAR and H5T_NATIVE_UCHAR we escape
	double quote characters.

./tools/h5ls.c
	Changed the output format a little because we were starting to
	get too much info to fit on a line.  Without `--verbose' each
	object occupies one line of output.  Otherwise, additional
	information is printed below the object name: object file
	address, comment, and modification time.  If `--dump' is given
	then the data is printed after the other information.

./test/cmpd_dset.c
	Changed the way the dataset is initialized to be more uniform.

c8d2f1e17a [svn-r537] Changes since 19980722
----------------------

./src/H5A.c
./src/H5Apublic.h
./test/tattr.c
	Switched the order of the second and third argument of
	H5Aget_name() to make it consistent with other functions that
	take buffers and buffer sizes.

./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
./src/H5Gprivate.h
	The H5Gget_comment() function returns the size of the comment
	including the null terminator.  If the object has no comment
	then zero is returned.  If an error occurs then a negative
	value is returned.

./MANIFEST
./tools/Makefile.in
./tools/h5tools.h	[NEW]
./tools/h5dump.c	[NEW]
	Created a library for printing values of datasets in a way
	that looks nice.  It's not done yet, but I needed it for
	debugging the contents of files from Jim Reus.

./tools/h5ls.c
	Added the `-d' and `--dump' options which cause the contents
	of a dataset to be printed.  Added `-w N' and `--width=N'
	options to control how wide the raw data output should be. If
	you want single-column output then say `-w1'.

	Printing dataset values can now handle datasets of any integer
	or floating point atomic type.  As a special case, integers
	which are one byte wide are treated a character strings for
	now.

	Sample output:
	    $ h5ls --dump --width=60 banana.hdf
	    ARCHIVE                   0:0:0:744            Dataset {52/Inf}
		Data:
		    (0) "U struct complex { double R; double I; };\012V"
		    (43) " double;\012"
	    U                         0:0:0:2500           Dataset {256/512}
		Data: printing of compound data types is not implemented yet
	    V                         0:0:0:3928           Dataset {256/512}

./bin/release
	The archive names have only three parts to a version number.

	`hdf5-1.2.3.tar.gz'.

./src/H5public.h

	number is now a major number, a minor number, and a release
	number.
