Remove feature
Description:
Retire threaded, balanced binary tree code from HDF5 use. Requiescat in
pace...
Also, regenerate dependencies files.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Too minor to require full h5committesting (the code is already
disconnected from everything except its tests)
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".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility

Misc. update:
enhanced performance for h5diff
Description:
the comparison cycle for the 2 buffers read from file was using a compare function
where the type must be checked for each datum (e.g due to recursive calls in compound types)
for atomic types this checking can be avoided
Solution:
introduced cycles for each one of the atomic integer and float class types

Misc. update:
Description: H5Pset_fapl_family sets family member size only for creating
new file. The file doesn't keep this size information. When the file is
re-opened, the size of first member file is used as the member size.
Solution: Assume user knows the original member size and sets it through
H5Pset_fapl_family. That will be the member size. User can pass in value 0
as member size if he doesn't know the original member size. Library will
choose the size of current first member size as the member file size.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Fix SZIP filter to dynmically detect encoder.
Description:
Solution:
See:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/SZIP/Szip_dynamic_12_Oct.pdf
Changes to h5repack tests, contingent on detecting SZIP encoder.
Note new program:
testh5repack_detect_szip
Checks fo rencoder, prints out "yes" or "no". Used by hrepack.sh
to detect encoder. Can also be used for windows tests. This is
only used as part of the tests.
Had to modify Makefile to build and clean this program.
Make talign work on windows.
Description:
msvc++ uses _unlink instead of unlink.
Solution:
change the code to use HDunlink and include H5private.h(Not good?).
Platforms tested:

Refactor code
Description:
Refactor common code for determining the native type for using in the
tools into separate routine.
Also, reduce diffs between the two branches and bring back some fixes from
the development branch to the release branch.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Purpose: change feature
Description: Back up support bitfield and time datatypes in H5Tget_native_type.Leave it to future support. Let it return "not supported" error message for
now.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
bug fixes
Description:
the return error code for a function was not initialized.
in HP-UX it happened that this variable was initialized to -1
causing the function to return with an error condtion
solution : initialized the variable to 0
the name of the dataset was printed after the differences in verbose mode
and report when differences were found
solution : check first if differences were found and then
print the name of dataset and differences
in verbose mode always print the name first
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux

Misc. update:
h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly
Solution:

Misc. update:
h5repack changes
Description:
there were some requests to change some minor h5repack features
h5repack only made a warning about a non available filter in verbose mode ( -v )
without -v it kept silent, and users sometimes missed this warning
the request was that it should print this warning always. so, the new format, is e.g
./h5repack -i test_szip.h5 -o out.h5
Warning: dataset </dset_szip> cannot be read, SZIP filter is not available
due to this, and to avoid a lot of these messages in the shell test script, I modified
the script h5repack.sh so that it detects the presence of all filters in the environment
(previously it only detected SZIP)
the test files were also divided in more files , to make the script code easier to
follow
Solution:
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
change features
Description:
for the file contents dump and for hardlinks, one arrow "->" is printed, followed
by the first found name for that object
options for not printing specific types of objects were postponed
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux

AIX
Misc. update:
Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.
Solution:
Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.

dumper new features
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and t
he word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the e
nd of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)

h5committest
bug fix, new tests
Description:
added a couple of #ifdefs to check if a specific filter is available for read
added more tests
the h5tools check filters had a mismatched filter variable
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux, with several filter configurations (all, some , none )
Misc. update:
1) new function for tools library
2) new test script for h5repack
Description:
1) currently all the tools (h5dump, h5diff, etc) do not check if a filter is available
for reading some dataset that might have a filter not available on the current configuration (the behaviour
of the tools until now was to trigger a library error, saying that the dataset cannot be read
due to the lack of the filter)
Solution:
1) added a new function h5tools_canreadf that checks if a dataset can be read
depending on the availability of filters.
this function was added in calls for h5diff and h5repack.
instead of triggering the library error, a message is printed, saying that the dataset
cannot be read (the print is optional, it is on on verbose mode)
2) added a shell script that tests the commannd line tool behaviour of h5repack
the script does a series of runs of h5repack with several options on the same file (this file test4.h5
was added to the testfiles dir).
then, it runs the h5diff tool, with the input and output files , in each run.
the goal of the test is also to check item 1) . the binary file was saved with filters
that might not be available on other configurations
Platforms tested:
linux (all filters enabled)
linux (some filters disabled)
solaris (some filters disabled)
AIX (some filters disabled)
windows (all filters on and off )

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

and avoid trying to convert them.
Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings.
