Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Added the entry of document of the three basic performance tools.
The information was provided by Robb long time ago.
Platforms tested:
Viewed by IE.
Misc. update:
Code cleanup, etc.
Description:
Generalize Ray's datatype fixes to handle packing compound datatypes which
are the base type of an array or variable-length type, etc.
Also track "packedness" of a compound datatype from it's creation, instead
of only setting the 'packed' flag after the datatype was explicitly packed.
Updated docs to reflect that a compound datatype is allowed to grow (but
not shrink).

FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)

Bug Fix and code cleanup
Description:
Correct error in H5T_detect_class that was causing nested compound datatypes
with to not detect the datatype class of fields correctly, which caused errors
with fill-values, variable-length datatypes and chunks later on.
Return the rank of the array datatype from H5Tget_array_dims(), like
H5Sget_dims().
Lots of cleanups to datatype code, to make the handling of arrays, compound
types, variable-length strings and sequences and enumerated types more
consistent and robust.

Bug fix
Description:
H5Gget_objname_by_idx should allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, to allow
for querying for the name's length.

Allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, the internal functions were already
ready to handle that case.
Clean up RM information about H5Gget_objname_by_idx and
H5Gget_objtype_by_idx also.

Misc. update:
Purpose:
DreamWeaver (DW) adaptation of the HDF5 doc set, introducing the use of
stylesheets and DW libraries.
Stylesheets -- for consistent format management.
DW libraries -- for managing common elements across documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Adding stylesheets to the HDF5 doc set (via DW libraries).
Description:
These HTML stylesheets are for consistently managing formatting issues.
The *Elect* stylesheets will be used in the distributed HTML doc set,
i.e., the electronic version; the *Print* stylesheets will be used to
generate printer-friendly versions.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Adapting the document set for use with DreamWeaver.
Description:
These are the DreamWeaver library files, which will be used to manage
common elements across documents: elements that are identical in many
places across the doc set and when they change, they change everywhere.
Testing:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
* Added support for generic properties.
* Added support for time allocation properties.
* Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based
on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported).
* added some missing functions
Solution:
I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support
1.5 features listed above.
Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid
that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-)
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
Purpose:
To bring the H5Z_func_t definition from the old User's Guide
into the Reference Manual.

Bug fix
Description:
man pages for the following F90 functions were missing:
h5tget_super_f h5tarray_create_f h5tget_array_ndims_f
h5tget_array_dims_f
Solution:
Added missing man pages
Platforms tested:
IE
Purpose:
Adding new H5Fget_obj_* functions. (Development branch only)
Description:
Added H5Fget_obj_count.
Stubbed in H5Fget_obj_ids, but the entry is not filled in.
Reordered entries to group similar functions.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Added missing fortran functions h5set(get)_buffer_f.
Also added docs and tests for them.
Solution:
Currently functions do not accept conversion and background buffers.
This corresponds to H5set(get)_buffer call with buffer pointers
set to NULL. If there is a demand, I can overload the functions
to have new parameters and go through all trouble creating functions
for all supported datatypes.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, Linux 2.2., IRIX64-6.5
Purpose:
Added new F90 APIs
Description:
I added new F90 APIs, tests, and documentation for the following

h5dont_atexit_f. Only first two functions were tested.
Documentation file and RELEASE.txt were updated.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.7, IRIX64-6.5 and Linux 2.2
Purpose:
Add copyright and change "HDF5 Tutorial" link.
Description:
Added copyright statement and link.
Changed the "Tutorial" link to point to the copy on the HDF5 website.
Since the Tutorial is not maintained in CVS, the distributed
version of the Tutorial is being unlinked and removed from the
set of distributed files. It is hoped that we can begin
maintaining the Tutorial under CVS prior to Release 1.6 and
resume its distribution.
