it uses the API function H5Gcopy to copy groups and datasets from file
to file, read from a command line
note: the test script is not finished yet
tested on heping, copper, shanti
Feature
Description:
Revised Link APIs.
Solution:
New link APIs use H5L*
H5*create_expand do not create links to the objects created; this must
be done manually with H5Llink.
Added APIs to link an object given its ID (H5Llink), to copy links (H5Lcopy),
and changed creation APIs (H5Lcreate_hard and H5Lcreate_soft) and query
API (H5Lget_linkinfo instead of H5Gget_objinfo).
All old APIs are still supported in H5Gdeprec.c .
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, copper
Misc. update:
Forgot to update MANIFEST and release docs. Will do after checkin.

Misc. update:
Code cleanup
Description:
Trim trailing whitespace in Makefile.am and C/C++ source files to make
diffing changes easier.
Platforms tested:

new feature. h5dump output of binary data
Description:
a new switch -b FILE_NAME that dumps the contents of memory data to file FILE_NAME in binary form
new program binread.c that reads the contents of this file and outputs it to stdout
added a test for the h5dump shell script that does a run of -b
the binread.c program reads the data used in this run, usage is ./binread FILE_NAME

Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Description: Added new tests for the h5stat tool; added --version flag
to display library version information and updated expected
output files.
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping, shanti
Misc. update:
Description: Added new tests for the h5stat tool; added --version flag
to the h5stat tool to display library version information
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping, shanti
Misc. update:
Description: Added test script and two test files in the tools/misc/testfiles
directory for testing h5stat tool; modified Makefile.am in tools/misc
and configure.in files to run the new test script; reran bin/recofigure
to update relevant configuration files; updated MANIFEST
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping with in place and srcdir builds; will do more testing
after the checkin.
Misc. update:
Bug fix - bugzilla #552
Description:
On Cray X1, trying to use : as an argument confused the system.
Solution:
Added a test in configure to see if : as an argument is bad.
If so, skipped the test.
Platforms tested:
mir, Cray X1 (change to configure only)
Description: I am checking in changes for the h5stat tool:
- updated Makefile.am to use tools library
- regenerated Makefile.in
- added command flags to display selected information
- added support for external files and filters
- small output formatting changes
For more information about current features and output see
updated h5stat RFC http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/RFC/h5stat/h5stat-spec.pdf
Solution:
Platforms tested: mir, heping, shanti, copper 64-bit, copper 32-bit parallel
using files from tools/testfiles directory and some NASA files
from our Web site.
Misc. update:
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.

Description:
Checkpoint fractal heap improvements, as well as move the free space
manager code that it's using into a separate package.

Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & FORTRAN
Linux 2.4/32 (heping)

Solution:
Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
added support for the printout of dataset region references differences

Several bug fixes
Description:
Added config file for Cray X1 (previous file was misnamed)
Simplified some code in hyperslab.c test that seemed to have been
confusing compiler on Cray X1.
Fixed typo in config/commence.am
Cleaned up hl/src/Makefile.am
Solution:
All four fixes should be straightforward. The failure on Cray was
very difficult to debug, but involved arithmetic errors.
This change seems to fix it.
Platforms tested:
heping, copper, sol, some Cray X1 (more testing when system comes back up)
Anti-feature
Description:
Revert changes to H5G_stat_t struct, to make it compatible with the 1.6.x
branch again. The information that was added to the H5G_stat_t struct will
be reported through other API routines.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir) w/C++
Linux 2.4/64 (mir) w/C++ & Fortran
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
new feature
Description:
1) separated the HL library into "public" and "private" header files, with the same caracteristics as the basic library
2) added the public headers to hdf5.h (with a conditional include macro, defined in configure.in)
3) added the path to HL in all Makefile.am 's , because of the inclusion in hdf5.h
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64

with fortran and c++
(one packet table example fails)
Misc. update:
"Hide" file format changes (for now)
Description:
Add ifdef's (controlled by the --enable-group-revision configure flag)
to disable group revision changes to the file format, in order to allow alpha
release to go ahead without releasing an unsupported version into the wild.

bug fix
Description:
the percent error calculation in h5diff using double precision floating point were causing different results
on the release and debug versions of Visual Studio version 6, due to a compiler bug
Solution:
used single precision (float)
Platforms tested:

AIX
Misc. update:
bug fixes
Description:
h5dump/h5ls were not displaying long doubles correctly
Solution:
1) the print datatype functions were incorrectly testing for the valid return value from H5Tequal,
(TRUE), causing the display of an incorrect name of a dataype in error cases from H5Tequal
2) h5tools_print_str did not have a case for native long double
3) added a file generator for a long double dataset
4) added one script test for the long double data (commented , some sytems don't have a native long double match, and the output differs)
5) added a vms file and h5dump script test
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64

portable issue on windows
Description:
setvbuf on visual studio 2005 needs the size to be greater or equal to 2.
<description of setvbuf from msdn library>
Buffer size in bytes. Allowable range: 2 <= size <=
INT_MAX (2147483647). Internally, the value supplied
for size is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 2.
h5import used linebuffer option of setvbuf for stderr and stdout and the size is
0 by default. This causes core dump with visual 2005 on windows 64-bit.
Solution:
1. Use HDsetvbuf inside h5import.c,
2. Define HDsetvbuf inside windows H5pubconf.h for windows to work around
the core dump of h5import test. This is probably a bug inside visual studio 2005.
Platforms tested:
h5committest( shanti refuses to be connected)
windows 6.0 at XP
visual 2005 at XP-64bit
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
1) added a more explainative usage message
2) the percent relative error for the integer type (division) was being done using integer arythmetic; use floating point arythmetic instead
3) added a new test for integer percent
