bug fix
Description:
the synntax of the input of h5repack conatined double quotes and spaces, which
were causing problems on the parsing in AIX paralell
Solution:
replaced the spaces by =
that is, instead of -f "GZIP 6"
we have now
-f GZIP=6
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris

feature
Description:
Change testphdf5 to use the common test program syntax.
Needed to change the protocols of all test programs to
fit the requirement of the common test syntax.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested".
Also tested in sol with PP mode.

bug fix continuation
Description:
the atof return value on a hexadecimal input is different
on some systems; before checking for the atof return value
do a character check for the first 2 characters of the string input
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
Misc. update:
add a "generator" program for the test files that are used in the "test_filter_endianess"
of the dsets test
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows
Misc. update:
bug fix (sort of)
Description:
apparently linux and other systems (solaris) return a different value from atof if the
argument is in hexadecimal .
this return value was used to test if the argument to -p and -d was a valid floating point
number
for now , commented the calls in the script with -p <hexa> until we find a portable solution
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
windows
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the -p option was not parsing correctly if the input was in the exponential format
Solution:
add a new parse test for floating point numbers
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
code clean, change test script
Description:
removed soem debugging messages
changed the chunking command line call to a non square dimensionality
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Description: a new dataspace, null dataspace.
Solution: it's a dataspace without any element. This is a staged check-in.
After daily test succeeds, will add a test.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Code cleanup.
Description:
The routines residing in testframe.c was defined in testhdf5.h due to
historical reason. It really belongs to h5test.h because those routines
reside in libh55test.a.
Solution:
Moved them to the right place. Also removed the duplicated occurance
of testframe.c in the TEST_SRC.
Platforms tested:
Tested in o2 (SGI) parallel.
bug fix.
Description:
H5FD_mpio_init was calling the public API version of H5Iget_type()
which would clear the error stack, thus cleared away error messages
prematurely.
Solution:
Changed it to call the private version of H5I_get_type() which
does not clear the error stack.
Platforms tested:
o2 (SGI) parallel.
Cleaning up warnings
Description:
Many exception constructors have warnings about reference to temporary
location because of the parameter initialization, for example,
"const string& var = 0."
Solution:
Changed "string&" parameters to pass by value for these constructors.
Consequently, passing string by value also takes care of char pointers
so the overloaded constructors for char pointers are then removed.
Also, instead of setting Exception::detailMessage to null string, I
set it to DEFAULT_MSG ("No detailed information provided") by default.
Platforms:
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
Linux 2.4 (eirene)
IA-64 (titan)
Description: The algorithm of H5T_bit_neg wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle arbitory starting position and size
in a bit sequence.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Description: The H5T_bit_dec algorithm wasn't general enough.
Solution: Changed it to handle bit sequence starting at any position
and of any length.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Description: unsigned long or unsigned long long failed to be converted to
float or double during software conversion on some systems. It's believed
there are bugs on those systems(modi4, premium, o2, arabica).
Solution: temporarily disable these tests.
Platforms tested: Simply comment out. No need to do test.
bug fix
Description:
the test that reads a pre-saved file with filters must only be run
when that filter is available on the current configuration,
otherwise the library trigers a read error
Solution:
added a #ifdef for the filter, that prints -SKIP- in case we do not have the filter
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Description: integer-float software conversion. There are some
print commands left in the source code. Will clean them up once
no problem is found in test.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt

Bugfix: Bugzilla #66
Solution:
H5Pset_szip -- Corrected the plist parameter description.
Since this property can be set only in the dataset
creation property list, changed the parameter description
from
Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list identifier.
to
Dataset creation property list identifier.
Fixes Bugzilla bug #66.

Bug fix
Description:
Fix build on sparc64 platform for FreeBSD by modifying the config/gnu-flags
to not insert '-march=i686' on non-Intel platforms. (This change allows HDF5
to run correctly on all five of the main FreeBSD platforms... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest not run since it's a FreeBSD-specific fix.
Bug fix/code update
Description:
Upgrade to latest version of config.guess & config.sub, which work
correctly on Cray X1 (and may help on NEC SX-6).
NOTE: This upgrade has _nothing_ to do with autoconf or libtool, these
shell scripts are _not_ tied to any particular version of those tools.

new feature
Description:
added a check for the return value of the tools h5repack and h5diff
in the run script.
the return value is used to print PASSED (tool returns 0) or FAILED
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
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 )
