----------------------
./bin/release
Added ./Makefile to the distribution again -- it got lost in
the changes last week although it isn't all that important a
file since it gets clobbered by configure anyway.

./tools/h5ls.c
Added the data filter pipeline, a generalization of the
compression stuff which allows things like checksums,
encryption, compression, performance monitoring, etc. See
./doc/html/Filters.html for details -- it replaces the
Compression.html doc.
./src/H5T.c
Cleaned up debugging output.
./config/linux
Added checks for egcs and pgcc and changed optimization flags
for the compilers.
./src/H5G.c
./tools/h5dump.c
Fixed compiler warnings in these files and others.
./configure.in
./src/H5private.h
./test/mtime.c
Added a check for difftime() and defined HDdifftime() to do
something else on systems that don't have difftime().
----------------------
./MANIFEST
Alphabetized. `d' comes before `e' :-)
./bin/release
Added the `-batch' option which causes the script to not ask
questions and to automatically update the minor version
number and set the patch level back to `a'. This is intended
to be used for the daily snapshots:
#! /bin/sh
set -e
cd ~/hdf5
make distclean
make test
bin/release -batch tar compress gzip bzip2
mv ./releases/* /repository
./src/H5Z.c
Removed warnings about unused variables when the zlib.h header
file is present but libz.a isn't.
./INSTALL
./configure.in
./doc/html/tracing.html
Made API tracing the default (you still need to define the
HDF5_TRACE environment variable to get results) and change the
name from `--disable-tracing' to `--disable-trace' to make it
consistent with the other switches.
Changed `site config file' to `host config file' to match the
documentation.
./doc/html/H5.user.html
Added a reference to the `tracing.html' file.
