Correcting typos and updating
Description:
Several section numbers are messed up inside INSTALL_Windows.txt.
Remove the section of using DEBUG information inside HDF5 since it is difficult to verify whether this part of code is indeed used. Most people use windows' own debugger while debugging.

Misc. update:
Description:
Changed to alias string instead of std, i.e. H5std_string instead
of H5std, because the old way wasn't working when std didn't exist.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (heping)
SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)
HPUX 11.00 (kelgia) - this was the problematic platform but I wasn't
able to test before.

Bug fix
Description:
Correct the handling of the group creation property list when copying
objects with the "create intermediate groups" flag.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest (once I pay attention to the compiler
warnings... :-)
Code checkpoint
Description:
Update fractal heap code to allow skipping direct blocks (that are too
small to hold object) when the root indirect block is created.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
New/expanded features
Description:
Check in Peter's changed for the object copy code:
- Allow/fix copying datasets using named variable-length datatypes
- Start adding framework for property list to control how object
copying occurs.

Bug fix
Description:
Made parallel fortran configuration happier on modi4
Solution:
The old configure macro, AC_TRY_LINK, added a couple of extra lines to
the Fortran test program which the new macro doesn't. Added those
lines manually.
Platforms tested:
modi4, copper (change should affect only parallel fortran)
Code checkpoint
Description:
Checkpoint recent additions to fractal heap code, which allow for better
support of objects that don't fit into current direct block, requiring
skipped direct blocks to be tracked in free section list.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago & heping)
Linux 2.4 (mir) w/64-bit & FORTRAN & C++
Mac OSX (amazon)
Configure cleanup
Description:
Removed unused macros, migrated to non-depreciated macros.
Solution:
The changes to use standard AC_TRY_LIB macros earlier this week
seem not to have broken anything, so I deleted the local macros in
acsite.m4 (with an eye to eventually deleting the rest of the file and
using only autoconf-supported macros).
Replaced the depreciated AC_TRY_LIB with AC_LIB_IFELSE to shut up
warnings during reconfigure.
Platforms tested:
mir, copper (should be just cleanup)

Adding parallel tests for optional collective chunk APIs
Description:
Three new APIs
"H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt_ratio
H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt_num
H5Pset_dxpl_mpio_chunk_opt"
for optional optimization choices from users
have been added to the libraries.
This check-in adds six tests to verify the funcationality and correctedness
of these APIs.
These tests need to be verified with 3 or more processors and with MPI-IO driver only.
Solution:
Using H5Pinsert, H5Pget, H5Pset to verify that the library indeed goes into the branch we hope for.
Using H5_HAVE_INSTRUMENT macro to isolate these changes so that it won't affect or be misused by the application.
Platforms tested:
h5committest(shanti still refused to be connected)
Parallel tests on heping somehow are skipped. Manually testing at heping. Have checked
1,2,3,4,5 processes.

Misc. update:
configure refactoring
Description:
Migrated a couple of Fortran macros to standard autoconf macros
Solution:
HDF5 had a couple of macros, AC_TRY_FLINK and AC_CHECK_FLIB, which were
adaptions of standard autoconf macros before those macros supported
F90.
Now Autoconf seems to have better support for f90, so its standard macros
AC_TRY_LINK and AC_CHECK_LIB can do this job (and move the burden of
supporting those macros to autoconf).
Platforms tested:
heping, modi4, copper
bug fixes
Description:
h5dump/h5ls were not displaying long doubles correctly
Solution:
1) the print datatype functions were incorrectly testing for the valid return value from H5Tequal,
(TRUE), causing the display of an incorrect name of a dataype in error cases from H5Tequal
2) h5tools_print_str did not have a case for native long double
3) added a file generator for a long double dataset
4) added one script test for the long double data (commented , some sytems don't have a native long double match, and the output differs)
5) added a vms file and h5dump script test

are created).

Removed -march flag
Description:
The -march optimization flag is bad in some circumstances
Solution:
Prevented HDF5 from adding the -march archicture-specific optimization
flag, so that users could have one version of HDF5 used by
several different machines.
Platforms tested:
heping (one of the few platforms that affected by this small change)
Description: cross_read.c is a new program to test reading data created
on an OpenVMS, a little-endian, and a big-endian machine. The three
data files are vms_data.h5, be_data.h5, and le_data.h5. To generate
these data files, run gen_cross.c on these machines and change the file
names.
Platforms tested: fuss and h5committest
Misc. update: MANIFEST
