Removing warnings
Description:
H5IdComponent::operator= shouldn't be virtual because the subclass'
operator= have different type for the rhs argument. Removed virtual.

Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description & Solution:
In the test for "namespace", we needed to include the "iostream"
header file to remove errors for strict compilers who need iostream
for namespaces. I moved the test for namespace to after the test for
"old header filenames" to make sure that I'm #including the correct
iostream ("iostream" or "iostream.h").

Code cleanup
Description:
Property that H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache uses is no longer in use inside the
library.
Solution:
Removed H5P(g|s)et_hyper_cache API functions, except when backward
compatibility is turned on. When backward compatibility is turned on,
the property is defined by the library, but unused internally.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (sleipnir)
Backward Compatibility Fix
Description:
One of H5P[gs]et_buffer's parameters changed between v1.4 and the
development branch.
Solution:
Added v1.4 compat stuff around H5P[gs]et_buffer implementation and testing
to allow v1.4.x users to continue to use their source code without
modification.
These changes are for everything except the FORTRAN wrappers - I spoke with
Elena and she will make the FORTRAN wrapper changes.

Eliminated warnings
Description:
On IRIX and Windows 98, if a function, that returns a value, throws
an exception in "else" statement, the compiler still complains that
the function doesn't return a value.
Solution:
Replaced:
if (something valid)
return a value
else
throw an exception
with:
if (something invalid)
throw an exception
return a value

on other configuration problems.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Add the overloaded member function Attribute::getName to return
the attribute name's length as in C API. This functionality was
missing. Note that the current getName that returns "string"
is not removed, for different way of using getName.
Platforms tested:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Windows 98
Purpose:
Fixing found bug
Description:
A data file cannot be removed because the corresponding H5File object
is still in existence, which means the data file is still opened.
Solution:
Moved h5_cleanup to outside of the try block so that the H5File object
will go out of scope and be destroyed before h5_cleanup attempts to
remove the corresponding data file.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Switch from old property list to new generic property list.
Description:
Changed C++ according to the new generic property list.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Bug fixing
Description:
+ added operator= to PredType
+ removed 'using namespace std' from H5RefCounter.cpp because it's not
used and leaving it there requires #include some standard header file
+ added 'using namespace std' in H5Exception.cpp

Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.

Code cleanup (sorta)
Description:
When the first versions of the HDF5 library were designed, I remembered
vividly the difficulties of porting code from a 32-bit platform to a 16-bit
platform and asked that people use intn & uintn instead of int & unsigned
int, respectively. However, in hindsight, this was overkill and
unnecessary since we weren't going to be porting the HDF5 library to
16-bit architectures.
Currently, the extra uintn & intn typedefs are causing problems for users
who'd like to include both the HDF5 and HDF4 header files in one source
module (like Kent's h4toh5 library).
Solution:
Changed the uintn & intn's to unsigned and int's respectively.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
New Features!
Description:
Start migrating the internal use of property lists in the library from the
older implementation to the new generic property lists.
Currently, only the dataset transfer property lists are migrated to the
new architecture, all the rest of the property list types are still using
the older architecture.
Also, the backward compatibility features are not implemented yet, so
applications which use dataset transfer properties may need to make the
following changes:
H5Pcreate(H5P_DATASET_XFER) -> H5Pcreate_list(H5P_DATASET_XFER_NEW)
and
H5Pclose(<a dataset transfer property list>) -> H5Pclose_list(id)
This still may have some bugs in it, especially with Fortran, but I should
be wrapping up those later today.

Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...

Bug Fix, Code Cleanup, Code Optimization, etc.
Description:
Fold in the hyperslab speedups, clean up compile warnings and change a
few things from using 'unsigned' or 'hsize_t' to use 'size_t' instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.7 (arabica), Irix64 6.5 (modi4)
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
We long ago changed the compiler flags to pick out dependencies to
-MM instead of -M so that only #include "filename.h" type headers
will be put into the .depend file.
Solution:
Changed this flag.
Platforms tested:

Cleanup
Description:
If there isn't anything to "remove" during the cleanup faze. This
stops the "make clean"s from printing out:

Portability changes
Description:
Very quick port to Compaq (nee DEC) Alpha OSF5.
Solution:
Added a new "dec-osf5.x" configuration file and changed configure.in
to look for it.
The local test machine is now passing all the tests, except I can't get
the "-L<path>" stuff to work, so tools which depend on the HDF4 library
around tested.
Platforms tested:
Compaq Alpha 5.1 (compaq.ncsa.uiuc.edu)
Bug Fix
Description:
If we need to specify a -R flag for dynamic libraries (like, in the
case when we specify --with-hdf4), then this flag needs to be added
to the linking line so that it will show up in the generated library
and other programs linking to that library will be able to find the
relevant libraries.
Solution:
Added the DYNAMIC_DIRS macro to the link line.
Platforms tested:
Arabica
Bug Fix
Description:
If the user specifies where to look for a library (like the zlib) on
the commandline, then we add that directory to the LDFLAGS macro.
Solution:
Copied the code which checks for this from the C configure.in. Also
added code which checks for the --with-zlib flag since that wasn't in
there.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Description:
dsets.cpp:
- Added routine's headers to be consistent with the C tests
- Added the following tests (they are not in the C version
test because they are C++ specific):
+ Test copying a user-defined type using DataType::copy
+ Test copying a user-defined type using DataType::operator=
+ Test copying a user-defined int type using DataType::operator=
+ Test copying an integer predefined type using a constructor
+ Test copying an integer predefined type using DataType::operator=
th5s.cpp:
- Added routine's headers to be consistent with the C tests
- Cleanup old couts and statements used during debugging
Platforms tested:
arabica (sparc-sun-solaris 2.7)
Description and Solution:
- Predefined type objects become outdated when the application calls
H5close and then H5open to use the library again.
Solution:
+ Reimplemented PredType using enum type to obtain up-to-date
values for predefined types, i.e. H5T_xxx_yyy's, when they
are used.
+ Added to PredType its own version of getId() to return the
appropriate predefined type id according to the enum value.
+ Made IdComponent::getId() a virtual function
- Since Albert already fixed the "multiply defined RcsId" problem,
removed the now become unnessary "#undef RCSID" from H5Include.h
- Added a check for func_name != NULL in one of the Exception
constructors because seg. fault. might occur in some situations.
- It is more convenient to make a copy of a datatype, dataspace,
or property list by using assignment operator
Solution:
+ Added assignment operator to DataType, DataSpace, and
PropList so that they will invoke H5Tcopy, H5Scopy,
and H5Pcopy, respectively, instead of just simply
copying the data members as for other classes. So,
now a type, space, or property list can be copied by
either :
mytype = original_type, or
mytype.copy(original_type)
Note that copy constructors are still just copying the
data members.
+ Added an assignment operator to DataType that takes a
predefined type.
+ Made IdComponent::operator= a virtual function

Purpose: Usability enhancement
Description:
- Added more information about the failure to all the throw's,
i.e, member function name and more detail about the failure, where
appropriate. Also, added exception throws for private functions,
such as p_close to provide more specific details.
- Added two api functions: Exception::getFuncName() and
Exception::getCFuncName() to provide the name of the member
function where failure occurs.
- Fixed some typos, one of which caused segn. fault in some
situations (resetIdComponent was accidentally called twice
in a couple of places :)

Bug Fix
Description:
Fixed the compile lines for the C++ tests.
Solution:
