----------------------
./RELEASE
Updated with important changes I made since the second beta.
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Dprivate.h
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5R.c
./src/H5Rprivate.h
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Any API function that used to take an `hid_t loc_id' followed
by a `const char *name' can now take any type of object for
the loc_id as long as the object is somehow associated with a
file. Internally, H5G_loc() was modified to return an
H5G_entry_t* instead of an H5G_t* so it's more general.
Among other things, this allows one to retrieve information
about an object like a named type or dataset without knowing
the name of the type or dataset:
int
get_nlinks (hid_t obj)
{
H5G_stat_t sb;
if (H5Gstat(obj, ".", TRUE, &sb)<0) return -1;
return sb.nlink;
}
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
These files needed a couple of changes because they call some
of the internal functions whose H5G_t arguments changed to
H5G_entry_t.
./src/H5A.c
Got rid of all the switch statements for getting symbol table
entries for varous objects and replaced them with a call to
H5G_loc() allowing attributes to automatically apply to any
type of object that belongs to a file.
./test/Makefile.in
Moved the ragged array tests from the normal list of tests to
the `make timings' target.
./test/ragged.c
Added rewrite tests -- rewrite the rows of a dataset changing
the number of rows and the length of each row.
./test/mtime.c
Added a test that checks that H5Gstat() can be called with a
dataset as the first argument.
./src/H5S.c
Added #ifdef HAVE_PARALLEL around code to check for the
HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES environment variable because the global
variable that gets set is #ifdef'd.
./bin/release
bzip2 uses .bz2 as the file extension.
----------------------
./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/H5Flow.c
./src/H5Fprivate.h
./src/H5Fsplit.c
Changed the allocation size request from `size_t' to `hsize_t'
because it was overflowing for the `big' test.
./src/H5detect.c
If `long double' and `double' are the same size then we define
H5T_NATIVE_LDOUBLE to be the same as H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE.
Similarly for `long' vs. `long long' and `unsigned long' vs.
`unsigned long long'.
./test/Makefile.in
Added `big' to the list of tests to normally run.
./test/big.c
Added a check to see if the file system supports holes and if
it doesn't then the test is skipped.
./RELEASE
Added a couple minor details details about API tracing and
symbolic links.
./src/H5public.h
Added comments about the use of hbool_t. Fixed a comment
spelling error.
./test/testhdf5.h
Changed the way the version number is printed. The old method
was `hdf5-1.2.3d' and the new method is `hdf5 version 1.2
release 3'
./tools/h5ls.c
Only prints the max dimension if it differs from the current
dimension or if verbose mode is enabled. Added switches `-?',
`-h', and `--help' to print a usage message. Added switches
`-v' and `--verbose' to generate more verbose output. Added
switches `-V' and `--version' to print the version number and
exit. The version number is printed like: This is h5ls
version 1.0 release 24'
./bin/h5vers [NEW]
This script prints, sets, and/or increments the hdf5 version
number. It can be run from the top directory or any of the
child directories like src, tools, test, etc. Some examples:
$ h5vers # Display current version
1.0.24
$ h5vers -v
version 1.0 release 24 # Display current version.
$ h5vers -s 5.2.8 # Set version and display
5.2.8
$ h5vers -s 2.1
2.1.0
$ h5vers -s hdf5-1.0.24a.tar.bz2
1.0.24
$ h5vers -s 'version 2.0 release 8'
2.0.8
$ h5vers -s 'junk 22 junk 33 more junk 66 and 99 junk'
33.66.99
$ h5vers -i major # Increment from 1.0.24
2.0.0
$ h5vers -i minor # Increment from 1.0.24
1.1.0
$ h5vers -i release # Increment from 1.0.24
1.0.25
$ h5vers ~/hdf5/src/H5public.h # Use an alternate file
1.0.24
./bin/checkapi [NEW]
Run from the src directory with arguments H5[A-Z]*.c and it
will print the locations of each place where an API function
was called from within the library. Use it as the compile or
grep command under Emacs and you can C-x ` through the list.
./bin/debug-ohdr [NEW]
Keeps track of H5O_open() and H5O_close() debugging messages
and lists the file addresses of the object headers that are
opened but never closed. You must enable the `o' debugging at
configuration time and pipe stderr into this script.
./bin/errors
Added a note to indicate that this script no longer works
because of changes in the HRETURN_ERROR() and HGOTO_ERROR()
macros.
./bin/iostats [NEW]
Watches output from the Linux strace program and accumulates
statistics about low-level access to an hdf5 file. The output
is a list of 2d data points which can be plotted by gnuplot to
show file seeking behavior.
./MANIFEST
Added new files.
----------------------
./src/H5Tbit.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
Fixed a bug in H5T_bit_copy(). Added H5T_bit_get_d() and
H5T_bit_set_d() which treat portions of a bit vector as an
unsigned integer. Added H5T_bit_inc() that increments part of
a bit vector and returns an indication of overflow.
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./test/dtypes.c
Added a slow general floating point conversion which works so
far on Intel, MIPS, and DEC but the test is turned off because
a cast from double to float will cause a SIGFPE on some
systems if an overflow occurs.
Added fast hardware conversions between native floating point
types. This function is also subject to the SIGFPE problem.
./src/H5detect.c
Removed the exponent bias adjustment when the significand
isn't normalized. This is now handled in the conversion
functions instead.
./src/H5T.c
Register new conversion functions.
Plugged a memory leak in the library termination code.
./RELEASE
Added a list of major changes since the first alpha.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5private.h
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5Ffamily.c
./src/H5Fistore.c

./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5HG.c
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tbit.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
Fixed various compiler warnings on Irix64.
./src/H5MM.c
Added PABLO_MASK to this file.
./test/chunk.c
Removed a warning about memcpy().
./INSTALL_MAINT
./README
./RELEASE
Partially updated for second alpha, but haven't updated
version numbers yet.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5A.c
./src/H5AC.c
./src/H5B.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Fcore.c
./src/H5Ffamily.c
./src/H5Fistore.c
./src/H5Fmpio.c
./src/H5Fsec2.c

./src/H5HG.c
./src/H5HL.c
./src/H5I.c
./src/H5MM.c
./src/H5MMprivate.h
./src/H5O.c
./src/H5Oattr.c
./src/H5Ocomp.c
./src/H5Ocont.c
./src/H5Odtype.c
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5Olayout.c
./src/H5Oname.c
./src/H5Osdspace.c
./src/H5Oshared.c
./src/H5Ostab.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5S.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5detect.c
./test/hyperslab.c
./test/istore.c
Changed memory allocation functions so they fail instead of
dumping core. The `x' was removed from the name to remind us
of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc.
H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of
two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1'
for one of the arguments anyway. The only difference between
the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which
is initialized to zero.
./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used.
./src/H5Fistore.c
Fixed a bug found by Albert. Thanks, Albert! This fix
combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the
library from failing an assertion if the application uses an
unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4).
./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an
undefined address is allowed.
----------------------
./RELEASE
Added Library functions that I missed the first time.
./html/Datasets.html
Added an example for Elena's question about how to read a
single member of a compound data type so it becomes an array
of that member in memory.
./src/H5Pprivate.h
Fixed the prototype for H5P_get_hyperslab() to match the
definition.
./src/H5Psimp.c
Oops, added the kludge back in for the offset argument, which
is still an `intn' instead of a `size_t'.
./src/H5.c
./src/H5public.h
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tpublic.h
Changed H5init() to H5open() and added an H5close() to fit our
create/open/close paradigm. The H5open() happens
automatically on the first call to the HDF5 library. The
H5close() happens automatically on exit() (unless the app
turns off that feature). H5close() closes all datasets and
files and releases all resources used by the library.
./test/dsets.c
Added calls to H5open() and H5close() to test them.
./test/dtypes.c
Removed call to H5init() since we no longer need it there.
./src/H5Fstdio.c
Changed the PABLO_MASK to the right value. Thanks Kim.
----------------------
./INSTALL
./INSTALL_MAINT
./README
Updated installation instructions for hdf-5.0.0a.
./RELEASE
Updated release notes. Needs more work.
./bin/release
The tarballs include the name of the root directory like
hdf-5.0.0a so it doesn't have to be explicitly created when
the files are extracted.
