Purpose:
DreamWeaver (DW) adaptation of the HDF5 doc set, introducing the use of
stylesheets and DW libraries.
Stylesheets -- for consistent format management.
DW libraries -- for managing common elements across documents.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Adding stylesheets to the HDF5 doc set (via DW libraries).
Description:
These HTML stylesheets are for consistently managing formatting issues.
The *Elect* stylesheets will be used in the distributed HTML doc set,
i.e., the electronic version; the *Print* stylesheets will be used to
generate printer-friendly versions.
Platforms tested:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape
Purpose:
Adapting the document set for use with DreamWeaver.
Description:
These are the DreamWeaver library files, which will be used to manage
common elements across documents: elements that are identical in many
places across the doc set and when they change, they change everywhere.
Testing:
IE 5 and 6
Netscape

Potential bug fix.
Description:
The code to rotate the metadata writing process may not be compiled
correctly in all cases.
Solution:
Change from using "++mpi_round" to "mpi_round+1"
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed...
bug fix
Description:
some data not read correctly due to type_id used in read
Solution:
did a function that determines the optimal memory type
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
bug fixes in h5diff
Description:
there was a incorrect reading of arguments when only 1 object name was supplied
reading of data was done using type_id got from disk, causing some values not read correctly into memory
Solution:
used native types to read into memory
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris57
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
* Added support for generic properties.
* Added support for time allocation properties.
* Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based
on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported).
* added some missing functions
Solution:
I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support
1.5 features listed above.
Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid
that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-)
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Added support for variable length datatypes.
Solution:
I added support for Fortran VL types to 1.4 branch before the
hdf5-1.4.5 release. Now I am bringing changes back to the 1.5 branch
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
h5diff enhancements
Description:
changed -r to count the number of differences, but do not print them
changed the output format with some printf enginnering, to align columns
print the dimensions of dsets, in case they are different
test files added test for non supported data (class not integer or float)
fix print dimensions to 0 index
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
new feature
Description:
Added a force mode (-force) which turns off prompting, just do it.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? no
[If no, why not?] It is just a shell script. Tested it in eirene.
Misc. update:
Will check in the updated RELEASE and document files.
Purpose:
bug fix
Description:
To avoid warning of defined macro FUNCTION at .NET, _MSC_VER should be used instead of MSC_VER.
Solution:
change MSC_VER to _MSC_VER,furthermore, to avoid future warning,
change MSC_VER == 1300 to _MSC_VER >=1300
Platforms tested:
windows 2000,windows xp(no need to test on other platforms).
Misc. update:
Purpose:
1.update windows release doc related to the addition of semi-automatic generated H5Tinit.c project and workspace files.
2. Make the doc more clear.
Description:
1. H5Tinit.c was manually maintained before and it might affect the users who wants to build and test from HDF5 snapshot release.
2. Make sure that we are supporting .Net only on XP and also emphasize to DLL users to the DLL critical section of the doc.
Solution:
1. Add a section for those users to semi-auto generate H5Tinit.c.
Platforms tested:
Doc files, no need to test.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
update project files, bug fix and new feature added on windows
Description:
1. bug fix
the maually-maintained H5Tinit.c on windows gave the wrong information of the size of
data type long double due to inconsistent description of the long double at MSDN. After testing with
a real case, find the long double is treated as double on windows. The size is 8 bytes. Previously it
was set to 12.
The alignment information of struct is missed in the old H5Tinit.c.
2. Project files updated
With the Quincey's new additions, Project files hdf5, hdf5dll,testhdf5,testhdf5dll are modified.
Add several test project files on windows, they are ntypes,ntypesdll,file_handle,file_handledll,
getname, getnamedll, set_extent and set_extentdll.
3. New features
H5Tinit.c can be automatically generated from H5detect.c. Adding a workspace and a project file
for users who may build and test HDF5 snapshotes.
Solution:
1. Use automatic-generated H5Tinit.c to replace the manually maintained H5Tinit.c
This automatic-generated H5Tinit.c has been confirmed the same on windows XP and windows 2000.
Platforms tested:
windows 2000,(since the files changed are windows specified *.zip files, it will not affect
non-windows platforms).
Only update projects all-withf90.zip without building and testing due to upcoming modification of fortran projects by
Elena.
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Enumeration datatype was broken in Fortran
Solution:
Fixed C wrapper functions to pass variables correctly from
Fortran to C layer.
Platforms tested:
modi4, arabica, eirene
h5diff bugs and enhancements
Description:
added checking for not comparable datatypes
added checking for the same dimensionality
changed the functionality of -n option, to check up to n reported differences
changed the formula for -p to relative error with absolute value
fixed a bug on solaris, related to printf integer format (int datatype)
Platforms tested:
w2000, linux, solaris
Bug fix.
Description:
-O2 -finline-functions still causes production builds on eirene to fail.
Solution:
Downgrade optimization on gcc 2.95.x (x<3) to -O -finline-functions
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene)
Bug fix w/gcc 2.95.x where x<3
Description:
-O3 optimization level causes problems for gcc 2.95.2 on eirene
Solution:
Only enable -O3 if using gcc 2.95.x (where x>=3) or gcc 3
Otherwise, use older setting of -O2 -finline-functions
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.2 (eirene)
so_locations was not removed during distclean.
Added it to the distclean targets.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? No
[If no, why not?] Tested in modi4 and eirene with C++ enabled..
New internal feature
Description:
Add internal API for building and working with heaps (H5HP). This will be
used for the LRU algorithm in the new metadata cache code.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Code cleanup
Description:
Added more information to information printed for test failure.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
Code/comment cleanup
Description:
Made more information about reference-counted strings private to the
H5RS package by trimming the typedef used in H5RSprivate.h and switching
from using macros for a couple of operations to using functions.
Updated copyright information for a few of these files.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
removed -d , -g , -t and -v options and renamed -m to -d and -v to -l
added output for objects that are not in one file but in the other
Platforms tested:
windows, linux
Bug Fix
Description:
Private header file was included in a public header file by mistake.
Solution:
Put the private header file into the .c module instead.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.4 (see, I really did test it).
Update
Description:
Changed the H5FPinit() function to accept pointers to what the SAP
Comm and SAP Barrier Comm should be assigned to. This is the first
step in hopefully getting rid of the global versions of them
altogether (but we'll see).
Platforms tested:
Linux
Update
Description:
Final support addition for FPHDF5. Wherever there was an equivalent
MPIO or MPIO/POSIX call/check, I placed an FPHDF5 call/check there as
well, with the appropriate #ifdefs in place.
The hdf5.h is updated with the H5FDfphdf5.h driver #include.
Platforms tested:
Linux & Modi4
Update
Description:
Big change to the H5FD.c module:
- Split apart H5FD_alloc and H5FD_free. H5FD_alloc was huge and
H5FD_free had a freeing of the freelist part which I needed to
call from the SAP.
- Added support for FPHDF5. If it's a client, then it sends the
allocation or free request to the SAP. The SAP will call the
same code, but it'll actually do the allocation/freeing in that
case.
Platforms tested:
Linux & Modi4
Update
Description:
Added support for the allocation and freeing of space in the file.
This information is kept on the Server.
Platforms tested:
Linux & Modi4
Purpose:
More test.
Description:
Test independent read of groups and chunked dataset.
Solution:
This test is similar to multiple group test. So just add it in the
testphdf5.c,h.
Platforms tested:
modi4, eirene.
Purpose:
windows project updating
Description:
To reflect Qunicey and Ray's changes (add/remove files and filters)
Solution:
Platforms tested:
windows 2000
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
Update release_docs/RELEASE for bug fixes, new features, etc.
Update applicable document files too.
Code cleanup
Description:
Changed hard-coded magic number (32) for the maximum number of filters
in a filter pipeline to use a symbolic constant (H5Z_MAX_NFILTERS)
instead. This limit could (and probably should) be removed to allow an
unlimited number of filters in a pipeline.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir)
Bug fix (no id, just noticed myself)
Description:
Added a barrier before doing file cleanup to ensure all tests are
completed by then.
Moved the MPI_Finalize to be very end and insert an H5close before
it to ensure all potential MPI activities by HDF5 are done by then.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}? Yes.
bug fix, features.
Description:
removed the cache of sizeof_long since it varies between 32 and 64 bits.
Set xlc and mpcc_r as the default compiler for serial and parallel modes.
Added -D_LARGE_FILES by default to support large file size.
Added gcc gnu-flags when gcc compiler is used (not working yet.)
Platforms tested:
Tested in Copper only since that is the only AIX machine on site.
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up miscellaneous warnings which have crept into the code.
Fix "_POSIX_C_SOURCE not defined" warning on FreeBSD.
Adjust gcc compiler flags to be more concise for production mode.
Refactor the H5O code so that there is a stronger boundary between code
in the H5O package and code in the library which just calls H5O routines.
Platforms tested:
Tested h5committest {arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran, C++)
modi4 (parallel, fortran)}
FreeBSD 4.7 (sleipnir) serial & parallel and gcc 2.95.4 & gcc 3.2.2
Misc. update:
Update MANIFEST if you add or remove any file.
