----------------------
./bin/release
The archive names have only three parts to a version number.
Instead of `hdf5-1.2.3d.tar.gz' they will be named like
`hdf5-1.2.3.tar.gz'.
./src/H5public.h
./src/H5.c
Dropped the patch level from the version number. The version
number is now a major number, a minor number, and a release
number.
./doc/html/Version.html
Updated to get rid of patch numbers.
./tools/h5repart.c
Added a `-V' flag like for `h5ls' that prints the version number.
----------------------
./doc/html/H5.format.html
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5Oshared.c
Added file alignment fields: the boot block has an extra
reserved address field. The symbol table entry scratch pad
space was reduced from 24 bytes to 16 bytes. The index
permutation was moved earlier in the data type message for
compound data types and extra padding was added. Four bytes
of padding was added to the shared message format.
----------------------
./doc/html/H5.format.html
./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
./src/H5Oattr.c
./src/H5Oprivate.h
./src/H5Oshared.c
./src/H5HG.c
./src/H5HGprivate.h
Added padding fields in symbol table entries, attribute
messages, shared messages, and global heap objects to insure
that things are aligned on 8-byte boundaries in the file, and
thus in memory. Otherwise some little endian machines
complain (DEC Alpha) during encoding/decoding of file meta
data. I chose to add alignment to the file rather than
rewriting the ENCODE/DECODE macros for the little endian case.
Completely rewrote the section on attribute messages.
More alignment stuff will follow.
./src/H5detect.c
Fixed a typo `nd'->`dn'
./test/dtypes.c
Commented out conversion tests to/from `long double' on
machines where it's the same size as `double' to get rid of
compiler warnings.
./doc/html/Big.html
Fixed a couple typos.
----------------------
./MANIFEST
Alphabetized. `d' comes before `e' :-)
./bin/release
Added the `-batch' option which causes the script to not ask
questions and to automatically update the minor version
number and set the patch level back to `a'. This is intended
to be used for the daily snapshots:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
cd ~/hdf5
make distclean
make test
bin/release -batch tar compress gzip bzip2
mv ./releases/* /repository
./src/H5Z.c
Removed warnings about unused variables when the zlib.h header
file is present but libz.a isn't.
./INSTALL
./configure.in
./doc/html/tracing.html
Made API tracing the default (you still need to define the
HDF5_TRACE environment variable to get results) and change the
name from `--disable-tracing' to `--disable-trace' to make it
consistent with the other switches.
Changed `site config file' to `host config file' to match the
documentation.
./doc/html/H5.user.html
Added a reference to the `tracing.html' file.
