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.

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.

Misc. update:
Patch provided by Robb Matzke (matzke@llnl.gov)
Purpose:
Small Fix
Description:
Changed how the list of drivers were listed from:
{ "driver1",
"driver2",
/* ... */
"drivern",
#ifdef FOO
"driverm"
#endif
};
to
{ "driver1"
,"driver2"
/* ... */
,"drivern"
#ifdef FOO
,"driverm"
#endif
};
since it's a nicer way of doing the same thing without the annoying
warning of an extraneous , if FOO isn't defined.

Code cleanup
Description:
Windows is generating hundreds of warnings from some of the practices in
the library. Mostly, they are because size_t is 32-bit and hsize_t is
64-bit on Windows and we were carelessly casting the larger values down to
the smaller ones without checking for overflow.
Also, some other small code cleanups,etc.
Solution:
Re-worked some algorithms to eliminate the casts and also added more
overflow checking for assignments and function parameters which needed
casts.
Kent did most of the work, I just went over his changes and fit them into
the the library code a bit better.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Code cleanups, mostly..
Description:
Work on pacifying the SGI compiler to get the generic properties working
correctly with --enable-parallel and --enable-fortran. It's not quite
fixed yet, but I need to head home and these patches help... :-/

Feature shift
Description:
Take out the v1.2.x compatibility stubs and put in the hooks for v1.4.x
compatibility when needed.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Bug Fix/Feature Add
Description:
Added new flag ("-f" and "--family") to allow user to specify which
file driver to use to open the file. If they don't specify anything,
then it defaults to the old behaviour of trying each driver in turn
until one actually opens the file.
If the driver the user specified doesn't succeed in opening the
file, then we do NOT try other file drivers.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Updated the way the subsetting data is retrieved. It now does it one
row of blocks at a time. It may still run out of memory, but this is
at least a good first step.
Also, the start parameter defaults to (0, 0, ...) if it isn't
specified.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Feature Add
Description:
This is the first (alpha) version of h5tools which does subsetting
according to the subsetting document. There's still some niceties
which need to be worked out, but this is the ground work.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Code Cleanup
Description:
Moved some code out which wasn't specific to the h5tools into the
h5tools_utils and h5tools_str modules. Also started on adding the
subsetting feature to the dumping.
Platforms tested:
Linux
