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".

Solaris 2.8 (sol) w/FORTRAN & C++
AIX 5.x (copper) w/parallel & FORTRAN

Misc. update:
new feature
Description:
added a check that the chunk size must be smaller than pixels per block in SZIP request
prints a message and exits, if not met

Misc. update:
bug fix, new feature
Description:
fixed bug in the parse function:
cases where we have an already inserted name but there is a new name also
example:
-f dset1:GZIP=1 -l dset1,dset2:CHUNK=20x20
dset1 is already inserted, but dset2 must also be (it was not)
added a CHECK_SZIP symbol to enable/disable checking of library related szip parameters
added the print of the filter name in verbose mode (confirms visually that the filter was applied )

AIX
Misc. update:
h5repack changes
Description:
there were some requests to change some minor h5repack features
h5repack only made a warning about a non available filter in verbose mode ( -v )
without -v it kept silent, and users sometimes missed this warning
the request was that it should print this warning always. so, the new format, is e.g
./h5repack -i test_szip.h5 -o out.h5
Warning: dataset </dset_szip> cannot be read, SZIP filter is not available
due to this, and to avoid a lot of these messages in the shell test script, I modified
the script h5repack.sh so that it detects the presence of all filters in the environment
(previously it only detected SZIP)
the test files were also divided in more files , to make the script code easier to
follow
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
AIX (no szip)
solaris (no szip, no gzip )
Misc. update:
changed the text of a error message related to the fail of H5Fopen to " unable to open file "
Description:
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (small change )
Misc. update:
bug fix, clean code
Description:
a malloced buffer was not release
cleaned some compiler warnings
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.7
IRIX
Misc. update:
Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:
Propagate error value out of function, so that failures can be detected by
testing scripts.
Clean up a few compiler warnings while I'm here.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
h5repack new features
Description:
added a copy routine for all types
added a copy routine for attributes
commnented some debug messages in h5trav
added the verbose option to some h5diff messages
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 2.5
IRIX
Misc. update:
h5repack new features
Description:
implemented some features of h5repack , mostly borrowed from hrepack
like
1) the parsing of options
2) building a list of options
3) printing formats
added a test program that generates files and calls h5diff to compare
the input and output files
