To warn users that RM_H5G.html and Groups.html can render groups and
datasets inaccessible in a file.
Solution:
Modified RM_H5G.html and Groups.html as follows:
-- Added warning (new section) to Groups.html that H5Gunlink and
H5Gmove can result in inaccessible groups and datasets.
-- Added links to that new section from H5Gunlink and H5Gmove
in RM_H5G.html.
Platforms tested:
IE5
Purpose:
Removing functions that have been removed from library.
Solution:
Removed H5Pget_driver, H5P[gs]et_stdio, H5P[gs]et_sec2,
H5P[gs]et_core, H5P[gs]et_split, H5P[gs]et_family,
H5P[gs]et_mpi, and H5P[gs]et_xfer.

"New" document
Description:
Raymond has prepared and added a new document reporting his
experience of using HDF5 with OpenMP. It was checked in as
a .txt file but browsers could not display it properly, at least
not for the MS-IE.
Solution:
I renamed the file from openmp-test.txt to openmp-hdf5.html,
added in simple mind html control statement (<pre>), added
an entry to the TechNote.html so that it can be found with
other technical notes.
Platforms tested:
Viewed by MS-IE.
Documentation of TS Library
Description:
This is the document Chee Wai wrote up about the thread safe
version of the HDF5 library. I just put it in HTML format and
checked it in...
Platforms tested:
Netscrape
Purpose:
This file describes the experiencing of OpenMP with hdf5.
Description:
All detailed description is in the file.
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
Everything was done on modi4.
Feature symmetry
Description:
A while ago I needed to get the 'type' of data being accessed during writes
to the VFL driver, so I put in code to get the information down there.
Albert asked for the same information during reads, so I've added that in.
Tested:
Netscape
Bug Fix
Description:
the line:
#include <hdf5.h>
needed to be escaped to be seen in the browser.
Solution:
Changed to:
#include <hdf5.h>
Platforms tested:
Seen in Netscrape
Adding new document links
Description:
Adding links to TechNotes/VFL.html and TechNotes/VFLfunc.html,
the new virtual file layer documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Adding new document
Description:
Adding VFL.html (Virtual File Layer) to HDF5 Technical Notes.
August 1999 version. Will be updated for R1.4 by developer.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Clarification of H5Fclose
Description:
RM_H5F.html / H5Fclose: Added note that all data is flushed to file.
Platforms tested:
Tested with IE 5.
Bug fix
Description:
The documentation on how to dump attribute data was not complete
enough. Some people got confused on the commandline syntax (you
have to specify the "path" from the root group to the attribute
to dump it). I put some examples in to show how to correctly dump
attributes.
Platforms tested:
Viewed with Netscrape.
Update
Description:
Added the description of the environment variable HDF5_MPI_OPT_TYPES
which controls the use of optimized MPIO routines.
Platforms tested:
Viewed via IE.
Purpose:
Bug fix -- #445
Description:
In RM_H5D.html in the H5 Reference Manual, the H5Dget_storage_size
entry described the wrong FAILURE return value.
Solution:
Changed H5Dget_storage_size return value on FAILURE to 0 (zero).
Platforms tested:
Tested in Internet Explorer 5.
Feature
Description:
Added a new document of all the controls (compiler macros,
environment variables, ...) that affect the functionality of
the libraries and tools.
