New feature & code cleanup
Description:
Update fractal heap to be able to insert objects into a direct block
hanging off the header.
Extract "octal dump" code into separate routine so that both the local
heaps & fractal heaps can use it.
Other code cleanups & support to get this far.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Moved gif2h5 tool to hl directory
Description:
Added a tools directory under the hl directory and moved the gif2h5 tool
to that directory.
Solution:
The gif2h5 tool was originally built in the tools directory, but this
introduced dependency issues that required special checks in the
Makefiles.am and required the top-level build order to be changed
because it depended on the HL library.
For simplicity in the Makefiles now and in the future, the gif2h5 tool
was moved to be underneath the hl library.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, shanti
Added HL examples
Description:
Examples existed for the HL lite, image, and table interfaces, but
were never included in the distro... until now!
Solution:
Added source files to CVS, updated Makefile and MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, shanti
Incrementtal checkin

Misc. update: MANIFEST
Bug fix
Description:
Fogot to commit file config/examples.am in previous checkin.
Solution:
The examples.am file contains common Makefile rules for the example
directories.
Added high-level example directories
Description:
Refactored common code out of examples Makefiles.am, added high-level
example directories, added packet table examples.
Solution:
Examples now draw from a common config/examples.am file, which
contains rules for installing, uninstalling, and cleaning examples.
High-level example directories are mostly empty, except for the
C and C++ packet table tests.

h5committest
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)

Bug fix.
Description:
The previous way of detecting the MPICH version fails if the suspected
$CC does not give the expected MPICH version information. Though no
consequence, it generates error messages that alarm users.
Also, mpich2 gives the version information as if it were mpich v1.0.2
which was incorrectly included as an earlier version of the origianl
mpich.
Solution:
Implemented a more robust code to detect the version and narrow the
recognition down to v1.2.0-v1.2.5. Also, the code were duplicated in
two files (linux-gnulibc1 and ia64-linux-gnu). Combined them into a
new file called mpich.
Platforms tested:
Tested in heping using mpicc and mpich2/mpicc and also in tg-ncsa.
Misc. update:
Updated MANIFEST.

Misc. update:
bug fix.
Description:
-nt is not a universal option for the test command in all platforms.
The use of it in conclude.am cause some platforms to bark at the
Makefile generated.
Solution:
Created a command script bin/newer which tests if file1 is newer
than file2. Replace the "test file1 -nt file2" by
"newer file1 file2".
Platforms tested:
Tested in sol.
Description:
1.7 daily tests failed in HL library when Fortran was not
enabled; also long long instead of long_long declarations
were used and caused failures on Windows
Solution:
Removed Fortran related functions (except H5IM_find_palette) from
H5IM.c file and put it into fortran/src/H5IMcc.c
Modified appropriate Makefile.am files, regenerated Makefile.in files, updated header files, MANIFEST, etc.
Note: H5IM_find_palette should be also in H5IMcc.c, but
for some unknown to me reason, linking fails if the function is
included in H5IMcc.c. I will really appreciate if some C guru
will look into the code and figure out what is wrong :-) Thanks!
Platforms tested: mir with g95, heping with and without Fortran enabled

of "arithmetic data types") to better describe the program. This checkin
broke down into three sections when the floating-point numbers are the
source, normalized, denormalized, and special values. If there's any
difference of destination values, only normalized value test reports
failure. The other 2 report only as warning.

Description:See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Misc. update: Added a family file as the source file for backward
compatibility test.
Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: This is the fourth step of checkin. A test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.

Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Add "memory pool" internal data structure. This set of routines is
designed to add a way to allocate small pieces of information for a particular
purpose and then free all the pieces at once (i.e. without having to free each
piece individually). Memory pools are also good for localizing lots of small
allocations that logically belong together.
For example, if you were constructing a temporary linked list, you could
create a new memory pool, allocate all the nodes for the list from the memory
pool and when you were done with the list, just destroy the pool instead of
tracking through the list and freeing each block independently.

Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
Fortran integer types (not reals) are now automatically detected at

Solution:
Two helper programs are used, one to detect what types the Fortran compiler
has access to, and one to generate header files for C and Fortran matching
up types.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper, modi4, pommier (last week)
Misc. update:

Feature - libtool shared library versioning
Description:
Libtool provides a mechanism for different versions of the same shared
library to be distinguished. Now this is applied to HDF5 when it is
built as a shared library.
Solution:
The version number is stored in config/lt_vers.am, and included in
src/Makefile.am.
This number will be automatically updated by bin/h5vers; developers
only need to update it when they change the API.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Any time the API changes, the version number in config/lt_vers.am must
be updated!
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Added Packet Table to high-level APIs
Description:
The Packet Table is an API that allows the user to append records
("packets") to a table, and read the back again. It supports
fixed-length records with a defined datatype and variable-length
records. It also supports a "current record" index to track the
user's position in the table.
Solution:
The Packet Table code lives in hl/src, and its tests in hl/test.
Some code is shared between the H5TB table and the H5PT Packet Table
in the form of functions in H5HL_private.c.
Some documentation exists for a previous version of the API. Updated
documentation and C++ wrapper API coming soon.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, eirene, copper, modi4
Description: Somehow, the hardware conversions between "long double" and other native floating-point
types were left out.
Solution: Added the hardware conversion functions in H5Tconv.c and test cases in dtypes.c.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: updated MANIFEST to replace bin/reconfigure.sh with bin/reconfigure

Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".

Misc. update:
Modify the cache code (H5C) to support automatic cache resizing to
adapt to the work load at run time.
Description:
Different applications require different sized caches to maintain
an acceptable hit rate. This set of changes attempts to provide the
ability to adjust to circumstances automatically.
Solution:
Added highly configurable code to allow the user to either set a
fixed cache size, or allow the cache to grow and shrink according to
conditions.
If enabled, cache size increases are triggered when the hit rate
drops below a user specified threshold in a user specified interval.
Cache size reductions (if enabled) are triggered when either the
hit rate exceeds some user specified threshold over a user specified
interval, when the cache contains "enough" entries that haven't been
accessed for a user specified interval, or some mix of the above.
See the header comments on the H5C_auto_size_ctl_t structure in
H5Cprivate.h for further details.
At present, the cache resize configuration options are not
accessible via the user API. Must add this.

replacement for our current threaded, balanced binary tree container.
Skip lists are much simpler to implement and should be faster to use.
Also, added new error codes to release branch, so bump the minor version
