Bug fix
Description:
When a series of files is mounted on one another and one of those files
is not unmounted, the library gets confused at shutdown and goes into an
infinite loop in the file interface.
Solution:
If there are still files left in the "closing" state when shutting down
the file API, iterate over those file IDs and unmount any child files that we
find mounted on those files.
Platforms tested:

Too minor to require h5committest
Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)

bug fix
Description:
when diffing a string type string , a cycle is made using the hdf5 get_size function, which returns
the type size
some strings might have a NULL terminator character before the type size position
this was noticed on a HDF-EOS file on the HDFEOSVersion attribute which was defined as a type with a 32 size,
but contained a string with 12 characters, making h5diff to compare the extra garbage characters
Solution:
detect the NULL terminator character and end the diff at that position
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Description:
For the definition of the macro H5T_CONV_Xx_CORE, added a condition branch
(else if (*((ST*)S) == (DT)(D_MAX))) which seems redundant.
It handles a special situation when the source is "float" and assigned the value
of "INT_MAX". A compiler may do roundup making this value "INT_MAX+1". However,
when do comparison "if (*((ST*)S) > (DT)(D_MAX))", the compiler may consider them
equal.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Description: "long long" type caused compilation problems on Windows
Solution: Use long_long definition
Platforms tested: heping, Windows will follow
Misc. update:
Bug fix for parallel case for new "Some objects were not comparable" patch to h5diff.
Description:
The parallel h5diff wouldn't print out "Some objects were not comparable" because the worker
tasks were not communicating the not_cmp flag of the diff_opt_t struct back to the manager, who ultimately
prints everything.
Also, some miscellaneous fixes for error printing. Some errors were printed out with printf instead of fprintf(stderr,...).
In parallel environments, this can result in output getting lost.
Solution:
Had the worker tasks pass along the not_cmp flag to the manager when they sent along
the number of differences they found.
Platforms tested:
heping (pp), sol (pp)

Misc. update: First, report a bug fix(#214) of family driver. Second
document PGI compiler bug for optimization on AMD processor.
Renamed file_handle.c as vfd.c since its tests have evloved from
merely file handles tests to other basic features of VFD's.
Did some minor cosmetic changes in vfd.c.
Updated Makefile.am with the new name.
Makefile.in is regenerated.
Platforms tested:
In heping only since the changes are trivial.
Misc. update:
Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag
into the cache code.
Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled
above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed,
as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

Misc. update:
Description:
1.7 daily tests failed in HL library when Fortran was not
enabled; also long long instead of long_long declarations
were used and caused failures on Windows
Solution:
Removed Fortran related functions (except H5IM_find_palette) from
H5IM.c file and put it into fortran/src/H5IMcc.c
Modified appropriate Makefile.am files, regenerated Makefile.in files, updated header files, MANIFEST, etc.
Note: H5IM_find_palette should be also in H5IMcc.c, but
for some unknown to me reason, linking fails if the function is
included in H5IMcc.c. I will really appreciate if some C guru
will look into the code and figure out what is wrong :-) Thanks!

Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: Hopefully, this is the last step of checkin for this stage. This step
mainly enables h5repart tool to be able to convert file driver from family to
sec2. Because the library saves family information in file, in trying to convert
to sec2 driver, the library simply change the address of driver information to
undefined so that the driver information block can be ignored. This step also
updates the reference manual of H5Pset_fapl_family() and h5repart.
In the fifth step of checkin, backward compatibility with v1.6
is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened
with this version of the library.
In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message
indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special
case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.

Misc. update:
Description: In this data conversion test, from floating number to floating number,
when the source is bigger than the destination, overflow may happen. The library
assign INFINITY while compiler's behavior is undefined. A compiler like SGI assigns
the maximal value for the destination.
Solution: When this situation occurs, simply check if the destination is INFINITY
instead of comparing values.
