added h5repack and h5diff support for copying and differences of references to dataset regions
modified the behaviour in the diff of attributes, when a difference in name is detected
in the attribute cycle (number of attributes of object), instead of exiting the
cycle, rather continue

Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
code clean, bug fix
Description:
the attributes of the root group were not being compared
removed compiler warnings on IRIX and solaris
Solution:
added a special function to compare the attributes of the root group
Platforms tested:
linux
IRIX 6.5
solaris 2.7
Misc. update:
h5diff new features
Description:
added comparison for attributes
adeded comparison for all dataset datatypes
added tests for the new features
changed the output format
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 5.7
IRIX 6.5 (64)
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled
by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values
for variable-length datatypes.
Solution:
Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings
and avoid trying to convert them.
Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
h5diff new feature
Description:
added compare for attributes
a new options flag (-a) was added to the options structure. it is 0 by default (no compare )
the output of the compare is the same that for datasets, and all the other flags also apply for attributes
(the memory compare is done in the same function diff_array)
all the other requirements for compare of datasets (type, space) are identical too
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7

Misc. update:
h5diff improvment
Description:
changed a call to exit(1) for return -1 for user friendiness in the h5diff function
in the case that H5Fopen fails
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (small change )
Misc. update:
h5diff new features
Description:
added the diff for variable lenght, opaque, enum, and bitfield datasets
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
h5diff new features
bug fix
Description:
implemented the diff for STRING and ARRAY types
fixed a bug. when the datasets are empty, do not try to compare them .
the check empty is made with H5Dgetstorage_size
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 5.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
h5diff new features
Description:
implemented diff for compound types. so far it only compares the integer and float classes
of these compound types. this is done with a new recursive function
that compares datum by datum
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
h5repack new features
Description:
added a copy routine for all types
added a copy routine for attributes
commnented some debug messages in h5trav
added the verbose option to some h5diff messages
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.5
IRIX
Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Remove various "fixtype" routines which duplicate (and actually pre-date)
the functionality in H5Tget_native_type in favor of having the tools call
H5Tget_native_type(). This provides the same functionality (actually better
functionality, since the old "fixtype" routines didn't handle alignment of
compound fields correctly) and reduces the amount of code to maintain.
Add additional tests to dump out a "complex" compound datatype which
exercises more code in the library for aligning compound fields correctly.

FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)

2. updates XML output to 1.6

verbena, arabica, copper (64)
Misc. update:
MANIFEST updated
Need to do release notes.
Bug fix/new feature
Description:
Teach h5dump/h5ls to display variable-length datatypes correctly.
Change "raw byte" output of array elements from "0xde8141b1a818" to
"de:81:41:b1:a8:18" so that it's easier for users to read.
Platforms tested:

h5committest
Misc. update:
Patch provided by Robb Matzke (matzke@llnl.gov)
Bug fix
Description:
The output from the modification time is highly system dependent, so
remove it from the h5ls output before comparing file with diff.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
bug fix
Description:
unsigned integers were not printed out correctly
Solution:
added %u and %lu to the list of formats
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
h5diff support for long_long
Description:
added h5diff support for long_long;
No automatic test was added because
it seems that the printf format of long_long is slightly different in Linux and IRIX(modi4),
because the diff command complained about a difference in the 2 test files for long_long;
visually, it seems that in IRIX an extra space is added after the print (or maybe it is
just me that is seeing extra spaces :=)
this test is test 5.8, commented in testh5diff.sh
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the signed / unsigned comparison was not properly handled.
the fixtype function sets the sign for the memory type the same sign as found on disk
and the array_diff function only handled signed cases
Solution:
addded for each INTEGER size type an OR condition with the unsigned version
if the datatypes have different signs , comparison is NOT supported
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix and enhancement
Description:
combined the --simple option to the display of NATIVE datatypes
with the -S option , the print of the datatype will always display the full description
making it possible to do an automatic test for catching differences on output
made the case for printing the type of bitfield data, which was not handled
the new test generates a dataset with 10 attributes, each one a different datatype
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)

Misc. update:
added new test files for h5diff
bug fix
Description:
the criteria for determining the correct switch case cast to void* to type* was the data size read from disk.
this was causing problems on Cray T3E, where all integer except char are 8 bytes long
Solution:
changed the criteria for using the memory size instead, which is determined by the same function
that reads the data into memory
the messages " using memory NATIVE_TYPE_X" were removed, because they might not coincid on different
platforms.

Description:
It's now possible to print out characters as actual characters
instead of their decimal equivalent numbers. It's the same thing that
h5ls does. The flag to do this is "--string" or "-r".
Platforms tested:

Arabica (Fortran)
Modi4 (Fortran & Parallel)
Misc. update:
added more tests, described in the test matrix

Misc. update:
added test script for h5diff
code cleaning for alpha release
makefile now generates the h5difftst.c program that generates 2 .h5 files for testing
Description:
the .sh script runs several runs of h5diff and compares the output
with a predifined output located in /tools/testfiles (.txt files)
righ now it has only one test

linux (other platforms later , ok !? )
Misc. update:
Purpose:
New Feature; Optimization; Clean-up
(Merged from 1.4 branch)
Description:
There is no symbolic constant to pass to functions that take an
optional object ID for when the caller wants to indicate no object
ID. In the past the caller always passed a negative integer.
GPFS performs poorly.
The h5ls tool decides whether to list the file name in the output
based on a compile-time choice, which isn't always optimal at run
time.
Solution:
Added a symbolic constant H5I_INVALID_HID.
Added code to tell the mmfsd of GPFS to forego byte range token
prefetching.
h5ls decides whether to print the file name at runtime based on
the number of objects being listed.
