Document bug fix.
Description:
The internal B-tree code was dumping core with an assertion failure when
flushing data to the file if too many objects were put into the same B-tree
(forcing the root node to split, I think).
Solution:
Fixed the B-tree copy routine to copy the correct number of raw keys.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind), Solaris 2.6 (baldric)
Documentation
Description:
Mention improvements to I/O speed for non-regular hyperslabs.
Hold off mentioning new API calls until we've reached consensus on them.
Purpose:
add new information and delete old windows and h4toh5 information on release.txt.
Description:
1. add a note to mention release dll will work after installing service pack 5 of VS6.0.
2. delete the fixed bugs on windows(libc.lib warnings and h4toh5 image handlings)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Kludge
Description:
Since we're only about halfway through converting the internal use of
property lists from the "old way" to the generic property lists, we turned
off snapshots to avoid exposing lots of API changes to users, until the
APIs settled down.
Getting the snapshots rolling again seems to have become a priority, so
some changes are going to have to be made now that were going to be
postponed until we were completely finished with the conversion. This
requires that the old API functions be able to deal with both the old
and new property lists smoothly.
Solution:
Kludge together the property list code so that they can transparently handle
dealing with both the old and new property lists
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.4 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Feature add
Description:
Changed the "make install" thingy to "make install-all" in the

Purpose:
fix a bug
Description:
In precondition 3, winzip will unzip hdf5xxx.zip into the directory
hdf5xxx and users should rename hdf5xxx into hdf5 to correctly build
HDF5 library.
Solution:
correct the sentence in precondition 3.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
New feature
Description:

document update
Description:
The information of setting SGI_ABI seemed to confuse some user.

preferred method of "CC=... ./configure".
Experienced user in IRIX64 would know that option.
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed.
Bug fix... (sorta)
