Purpose:
Added C++ wrapper for Packet Table API.
Description:
Added macro for high-level C++ library (LIBH5CPP_HL), which changes every
Makefile.in.
Added directories for high-level C++ library (though currently only Packet
Table API is supported).
Added both C++ source and tests.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, mir, modi4
Misc. update:
Optimization
Description:
Speed up I/O on enumerated datatypes (including those nested in compound
datatypes, arrays, etc.) if the destination datatype is a proper superset of
the source datatype.
Solution:
Detect the situation and treat as no-op datatype conversion.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Automake update cleanup and minor changes
Description:
Removed macros in acsite.m4 that are no longer used.
Switched to using autoconf's AC_LANG_PUSH(Fortran) instead of old
AC_LANG_FORTRAN9X macro.
Switched to using AC_LANG_PUSH() and AC_LANG_POP() (from old AC_LANG_X).
Added ifort to list of Fortran compilers configure will look for.
Added a note about automake change to Release Notes.
Platforms tested:
copper, modi4 (parallel and serial), eirene
Description: Support of hardware conversion between "long double" and integers(mainly in
H5Tconv.c) and test cases for it(mainly in dtypes.c)
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Update.
Description:
Update installation file on how to link HDF5 with Zlib 1.2.2 and Szip 2.0 DLL libraries.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Description: H5Tget_member_value didn't return correct value if called after
H5Tenum_valueof. It's because there's a sorting on the members of enum type in
H5Tenum_valueof which changed the order of members.
Solution: Made a copy of original type and do sorting on it to protect the
original order.
Platforms tested: fuss; tested v1.6 with h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: For variable-length string, H5Tget_class returned H5T_STRING as
its class. But H5Tdetect_class and H5Tget_member_class considered it as
H5T_VLEN. This is fixed to let all these 3 functions treat it as H5T_STRING.
Some test cases have been added to dtypes.c
Platforms tested: heping - already tested for v1.6 with h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: The byte order for all 1-byte integer types was fixed as little-endian
even on a big-endian machine. This's corrected in h5detect.c. When types are only
1 byte long, a native int is used substitute the type to detect byte order. Some tools
like h5dump and h5repack are also corrected in this case.
Platforms tested: fuss, copper, sol.(There're some failures from the recent configure
change).
Misc. update: Information in the RELEASE.txt.
Description: Removed PABLO from the source
Solution:
Platforms tested: arabica with 64-bit, copper with parallel,
heping with GNU C and C++ and PGI fortran (but
I disabled hl, there is some weird problem only
on heping: F9XMODFLAG is not
propagated to the Makefile files
Misc. update:
Description: Start to support software conversion between long double and
all integers.
Solution: No major changes to the algorithm. Changes to configure is to
exclude SGI for long double to integers test because there're too many problems
in their compiler.
Platforms tested: h5committest, modi4, fuss, Teragrid, arabica
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug Fix/Code Cleanup/Doc Cleanup/Optimization/Branch Sync :-)
Description:
Generally speaking, this is the "signed->unsigned" change to selections.
However, in the process of merging code back, things got stickier and stickier
until I ended up doing a big "sync the two branches up" operation. So... I
brought back all the "infrastructure" fixes from the development branch to the
release branch (which I think were actually making some improvement in
performance) as well as fixed several bugs which had been fixed in one branch,
but not the other.
I've also tagged the repository before making this checkin with the label
"before_signed_unsigned_changes".
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel & fphdf5
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/threadsafe
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/backward compatibility

Misc. update:
Description: INSTALL file in 1.7 branch had old information about
the minimum set of header files that should be installed
Solution: Fixed
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Update.
Description:
Update HDF5 Windows installation documentation to include recently added HDF5 high level library and tests information.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Not necessary.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct values used in "space utilization" equation: the 'used' and
'total' values were backwards.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Fix core dump when flushing a file with a newly created attribute which
hasn't had a value written to it still open.
Solution:
Write the attribute fill value when appropriate.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSd 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena)
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Purpose: change feature
Description: Back up support bitfield and time datatypes in H5Tget_native_type.Leave it to future support. Let it return "not supported" error message for
now.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix
Description:
Relax restrictions on parallel I/O to allow compressed, chunked datasets
to be read in parallel (collective access will be degraded to independent
access, but will retrieve the information still).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
IRIX64 6.5 (modi4)
h5committest
Description: enable size adjustment for compound datatype. The size
can be increased and decreased(as long as the last member isn't cut).
Solution: mainly check if the last member is being cut when decreasing
the size. Others are simply taking out assertion to enable this feature.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Bug fix.
Description:
Fix off-by-one error in Core VFL driver which would cause spurious address
or size overflow errors when an odd valued address or size was checked.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (heping)
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
Update release_docs/RELEASE.txt to describe options for dealing
with installations which insert extra text in output, thereby
breaking tests which function by comparing output with an exemplar.
Description:
See above.
Solution:
Add discussion of this possible problem, and listed two possible
solutions:
1) "setenv HDF5_Make_Ignore yes" and then score "failed" tests
by hand.
2) Use the RUNSERIAL environment variable to use a filter script
to filter out the extra text.
Platforms tested:
No testing needed.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct typedef for dataset region references to avoid struct alignment
issues on Crays.
Solution:
Change the typedef for hdset_reg_ref_t from a struct to an array of
unsigned char's of the correct size and propagate the appropriate adjustments
around the code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/fortran
Cray T90 (subzero) w/fortran
Cray SV1 (wind) w/fortran & parallel
