Purpose:
Changed "HDF5 User's Guide" links (in navigation bars, primarily)
to point to new user's guide, which will reside for a while yet on
the HDF server.
The old user's guide will still go out with the distribution under
the label "HDF5 User's Guide, Release 1.4.5."
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Renamed old "HDF5 User's Guide" as "HDF5 User's Guide, Release 1.4.5".
Added navigation bar link to new user's guide on HDF server.
Changed release tag line (in old UG only) back to
"Describes HDF5 Release 1.4.5, February 200 3"
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Description: When make install prefix=NEW_DIR is used to specify
new location for the installed HDF5 library, h5redeploy
should be used to fix h5cc, etc. scripts. INSTALL file
suggested to fix scripts by hand.
Solution: Modified instructions to use h5redeploy.
Platforms tested: verbena
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Update links.
Add documents.
Description:
Bring in current links and notes from the R1.4.5 document.
Add the documents which have been collected in
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc_resource/.
These documents include discussions of SZIP, generic properties,
the shuffle algorithm and its influence on performance, fill values
and space allocation, and error detection.
Platforms tested:

Description: After talking to Barbara we decided to use
ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/ location for
Intel and Cray Fortran source code patches.
Solution: Edited the file to point to new location.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
"prefix" variable was always being set, instead of only being set if the
user hadn't set it yet.
Solution:
Changed "prefix=<foo>" to "prefix?=<foo>".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
Checked in gmake manual to make certain syntax is the same (it is).

than it was before... :-)
Platforms tested:

Changed enable-production as the default for release.
Platforms tested:
Only in eirene using pgcc and pgCC.
Did not use h5committest since the change is trivial
and Elena will test it at once. :-)
Misc. update:
update for release
Description:
Set the version information to 1.6.0-pre1 to get ready for
v1.6 release.
(Not sure why H5F.c got changed--probably done gmake automatically
during testing.)
Platforms tested:
h5committested.

Flag adding for .Net
Description:
Somehow in .Net environment, libc.lib and libcd.lib are used simultenously and that causes
system function redefined. Thereafter, HDF5 build failed.
Solution:
explicitly set an "ignore" flag to ignore libcd.lib for release build.
Platforms tested:
.Net at xp and VC++ 6.0 at windows 2000
Misc. update:
Description: When Quincey and I updated Fortran SZIP flags, we accidentally
renamed one of the C flags H5_SZIP_ALLOW_K13_OPTION_MASK used
by Fortran C-stub routine.
Solution: Fix the typo.
Platforms tested: Linux 2.5 and True64
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Update h5pset_szip_f options mask.
Description:
h5pset_szip_f: Updated list of valid szip option values.
Deleted 2, added 3 and notation "or the sum of any combination".
Added example and note regarding mutually-exclusive options.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
feature change, new feature.
Description:
Had the HDF5_PARAPREFIX default set to /tmp.
Changed it to null so that data files are created in current directory
by default.
Also added a code to print data filename used when debug level > 0.
Platforms tested:
Tested in modi4 parallel.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Add in rest of szip "options mask" macros that were missing. Also made
"raw" options mask set by the library, instead of requiring users to always set
it.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
Minor tweaks too small fo h5committest
Purpose:
H5Pset_shuffle -- Add note regarding intended use.
H5Pset_szip -- Correct options mask list. Copy edits.
Description:
H5Pset_shuffle -- Added note that the shuffle filter is designed to be
used with in combination a compression filter.
H5Pset_szip -- Changed 'szip' to 'SZIP' in running text.
Removed RAW_OPTIONS_MASK, LSB_OPTIONS_MASK, and MSB-OPTIONS_MASK
from options maks list as they are not available for user control.
Added 'H5_SZIP_' prefix to all remaining option tags.
Made corresponding changes to running text, removing or revising
mentions of deleted option tags.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
LIBTOOLS macro was being used but not defined.
Solution:
Removed the LIBTOOLS macro as it wasn't necessary
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (small fix)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The SUBDIRS macro is now defined as "" in the config/commence.in
file. We shouldn't have definitions of this macro before the
inclusion of config/commence.in.
Solution:
Placed all definitions of SUBDIRS after config/commence.in inclusion.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (Small fix yet again).
Misc. update:
Code cleanup/Feature removal
Description:
Remove "round robin" writing of metadata in MPI VFDs (and a couple of other
places). This never really worked the way I hoped it would and it causes
problems on certain machines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too small for triple check.
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
Changes needed to make "pmake" work on Modi4.
Solution:
Needed to add some null macro defines in the commence.in files.
Needed to remove a dependence on LIBH5TEST in the fortran make
since LIBH5TEST isn't used in the fortran stuff.
Platforms tested:
Modi4 (small change)
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
There was a bug fix for AIX machine when Poe is used to
launch programs, that is in parallel mode. The fix is hostname
dependent.
Solution:
Removed the hostname dependence and let the fix apply to all
AIX machines. But put in a safety net--if $HDF5_AIX_NOPATCH
is set to non-null, it will not use the fix but use the
original code. (Don't expect this being used.)
Platforms tested:
Tested in Copper both with and without $HDF5_AIX_NOPATCH set.
Did not run h5committest since this really applies to AIX
systems only.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added three new configuration files in c++/config
directory for Cray SV1, T3E and T90IEEE
Solution:
Platforms tested: I used BlankForm in c++/config directory to create
new configuration files for Crays. Only test
on T3E is finally completed successfully. Two other
Crays are still running, and running, and running.
I am checking files in since they will not affect
any other platforms.
Binh-Minh and Bill,
could you please take a look since I made minimum changes
just to make it to work. I am not sure that everything is correct
even if it works.
Thanks!
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: I added three new configuration files in c++/config
directory for Cray SV1, T3E and T90IEEE
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to add new files.
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: Makefile.in has hardcoded dependencies. H5Zff.lo was
missing for the sequential version. That caused parallel
make to fail, since module HDF5 was built before H5Z.
Solution: Added H5Zff.lo to dependencies list.
Platforms tested: This is an obvious error and also due to the seminar and picnic
schedule I am checking in without testing. I will test it later today.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Small bug fix
Description: On SP when 64 bit mode is used, RUNPARALLEL environment
variable is not set up correctly for Fortran.
Solution: Copy Albert's fix for C library to Fortran
Platforms tested: copper with 64-bit parallle C and Fortran
Misc. update:
Purpose:

combinations.

in which they were created.
Correct H5Z_FLAG_OPTIONAL description.
