Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
There was a typo in the gif.h path that I overlooked first time.
Solution:
Fixed a typo. bin/chkmanifest does not complain anymore.
Platforms tested:
baldric
Purpose:
Adding new feature
Description:
Added gif2h5 and h52gif conversion utilities
Solution:
The utilites follow the framework built for the gif2hdf and hdf2gif
utilities for hdf4. The main files modified were those that read the
H5 file and those that write H5 file. In the future, if you wish to
continue with the framework and extend it to .png or some other fileformat
the main files to edit will be the gif reader and writer.
One point to note with h52gif. You have to specify the exact location of
the image and the palette that it links to. You can choose not to specify
a palette (uniform grayscale chosen in this case) but you must specify
image location. In the future, someone could edit the readhdf.c source
to enable the reader to parse the hdf file and select all images with
corresponding palettes.
Platforms tested:
modi4 , eirene , hawkwind , arabica , Ren (NT 4.0) , Personal box (win2k)
Purpose:
Windows F90 port
Description:
all_withf90.zip file conyains all necessary projects to build
and test HDF5 library (both C and F90) on Windows platforms
Platforms tested:
Windows 98
Purpose:
updating this file to include updated hdf4 test files for converter testing
Description:
[describe the bug, or describe the new feature, etc]
Solution:
[details about the changes, algorithm, etc...]
[Please as detail as you can since your own explanation is
better than others guessing it from the code.]
Platforms tested:
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Purpose:
Typo fix
Description:
While running a snapshot, I noticed that MANIFEST has _DO_NO_DISTRIBUTE_ typo.
Solution:
Fixed.
Platforms tested:
PDP-11 and BESM-6
Purpose:
Maintenance for the upcoming hdf4-1.4..0-beta3-pre3 testing and release.
Description:
Renamed INSTALL_Windows.txt to INSTALL_Windows to make name consistent
with other names of INSTALL* files.
Updated MANIFEST to include INSTALL_Windows file.
Updated RELEASE file.
Purpose:
To remove ragged array doc files (1 each in UG and RM)
Solution:
Removed ragged array doc files Ragged.html and RM_H5RA.html
Platforms tested:
IE 5
New Feature
Description:
Added array datatype to library. See documentation at:
http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/planning/DP/ArrayType.html
for complete details on the impact to the library.
Solution:
Changes to the base library include removing the ability of compound
datatype fields to be an array (they can use an array type for the field,
to duplicate the functionality) and adding in the new array datatype
everywhere appropriate. (I hope :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
add testfiles for h4toh5 converter

Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
I renamed three files in the fortran/src directory
H5Pf_parallel.c --> H5FDmpiof.c
H5Pff_parallel.f90 --> H5FDmpioff.f90
HDF5_parallel.f90 --> HDF5mpio.f90
Solution:
Updated names in the MANIFEST file.
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
I created ./fortran/testpar directory and added files to it
but forgot to update MANIFEST file.
Solution:
Fixed MANIFEST.
Platforms tested:
Bug fix
Description:
"Time" datatypes (H5T_UNIX_D*) were not being stored and retrieved in
the datatype object header message correctly.
Solution:
Store endian-ness and precision in the datatype object header message and
added test to continue to track them working correctly.
This fixes bug #512.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Maintainance
Description:
Updated for the new files I'm adding as well as the tools/talign.c file
missing from last night's tests.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (baldric) & FreeBSD 4.1.1 (hawkwind)
Added site-specific/ subdirectory in config/ directory
Description:
If a machine needs site-specific configure options but those
options don't necessarily apply to all machines of that type,
place them there.
Rearrange code
Description:
The data sieve buffering code for contiguously stored datasets was
wedged in the H5F_arr_read/H5F_arr_write routines.
Solution:
Created a new H5Fcontig.c to hold I/O routines for contiguously stored
datasets (like H5Fistore.c for chunked dataset I/O routines) and moved
data sieving code into those routines.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.6 (i.e. baldric)
