Change to release script
Description:
Silenced doxygen's output when bin/release doc is run. Now if doxygen
has an error the release script will exit.
Someone forgot to run reconfigure after a Makefile.am, so testing the
release script seems to have had the side effect of regenerating a
Makefile.in.

Description:
the --disable-hl switch was causing linking errors on gif2h5 that uses image api (bugzilla #1)
Solution:
used the condional macro for hl to build gif2h5
Platforms tested:

Mac OSX.4 (amazon)
Linux 2.4
bug fix
a call to sprintf was giving incorrect output in the system Fedora Core 4 with gcc 4.0
(not supported by us, but user reported)
Solution:
the call was using the same buffer for source and destination variables, used different ones
Platforms tested:
linux (mir)

Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
Libraries were listed in the wrong order in tools/gifconv Makefile.am, confusing
the linker.
Solution:
Put HDF5 library after tools library in Makefile.am and ran reconfigure.
Platforms tested:

h52gif bug fix (494)
Description:
the reading routines were using file datatype sizes for memory allocation
Changed the HDF5 read routines to use memory types and sizes,
for both the image and pallete datasets
Solution:

Misc. update:
Makefile fix
Description:
The h5diff parallel test script depends on the serial test script.
Added this dependency.
Solution:
Used SCRIPT_DEPEND variable. Also added ph5diff (when it is compiled).
Platforms tested:
mir
Improvement
Description:
Some parallel system would dump some system messages in the stdout
stream of an MPI application. That caused the output matching script
to fail unnecessarily.
Solution:
Added the STDOUT_FILTER feature to filter out those system messages
out of stdout result.
Platforms tested:
Tested in LANL Lambda.
Bug fix
Description:
Remove several macros that are already defined in H5private.h and are
causing failures on copper.

Bug fix
Description:
Fortran type generation was broken in two ways. Fixed both.
Solution:
Firstly, there were a couple of path problems. Fixed a typo and
specified the full path of a file.
Secondly, the dependencies weren't right when building with HDF5-specific
commands (make lib, make check-s, etc.). Tweaked dependencies
to fix the problem.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sleipnir
Configure feature
Description:
Added 'make trace' target.
Solution:
Added tracing to 1.7. This was done automatically in 1.6, but left out
of 1.7 until now (oops!).
Tracing in 1.7 only happens manually, when the user types 'make trace.'
Tracing automatically requires more framework than it's worth.
I also fixed a couple of tracing bugs and ran trace.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Before this checkin, 'gmake check-s' would fail if there was a file in
the current directory named 'check-s'.
This is fixed under gmake (not sure how to fix for other makes).
Solution:
check, progs, install, etc. are what gmake calls "phony" targets,
which means that no file should be created. These targets can be
specified by a line of the form
.PHONY: check progs install ...
Automake adds this line for targets it knows about, but HDF5 has a
lot of custom rules. This checkin adds a .PHONY line for those rules.
I believe that only gmake recognizes the .PHONY line (at least, pmake
doesn't seem to), but a partial solution is better than none.
This error should occur very rarely anyway (the user has to manually
create files with names like 'build-check-s' or '_test').
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Cleanup.
Description:
Removed reference to H5_HAVE_VSNPRINTF and the corresponding abort
since we do not use the home-grown potentially memory wacking version
any more.
Platforms tested:
heping.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Correct use of H5Gget_objinfo() which recent compact group checkins
exposed: we were attempting to follow dangling soft links.
Solution:
Don't follow links for H5Gget_objinfo() when initializing object tables
for h5dump.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 2.8 w/64-bit enabled
Linux 2.4
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)
Copyright fix
Description:
Added a blank line so that Automake would put the copyright at the top of
the file.
Platforms tested:
Trivial change
Misc. update:
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Added support for -shlib in h5fc and h5c++.
Made check-install use -shlib when only shared libraries have been installed.
Solution:
h5fc and h5c++ didn't recognize -shlib. Stole code from h5cc to link against
shared libraries.
When static libraries are disabled, the examples Makefiles will automatically
use the -shlib option to link against shared libraries. Thus,
--disable-static and make check-install should work together.
Platforms tested:
heping(disable-static, enable-static, fortran, c++), modi4 (disable-static, fortran, c++, parallel, enable-static)
Update copyrights.
Description:
Solution:
This should address almost all of the "simple" cases in the repository.
There's still work to do, but it's going to require actually thinking about
the files in question instead of just copying & pasting.
Bug fix
Description:
Failed parallel tests now cause make to exit with an error.
Solution:
Edited config/conclude.am to throw an error if parallel test programs fail.
Platforms tested:

new h5diff test
Description:
added a test to the test h5diff script that compares a file to itself.
this test is done to test some features of the library that

Misc. update:
Added additional targets to build-all
Description:
Surveyed files to find out which ones are not built.
Added test/space_overflow and perform/benchpar to programs built with
--enable-build-all.
Discovered that tools/misc/pdb2hdf5 and tools/misc/h5import were
obsolete and deleted them.
Platforms tested:
mir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
Update of release file and removal of --enable-pdb2hdf5 to follow.
bug fix
Description:
an assertion after the search for objects was saying that the number of
objects in file should be > 0
removed it, since there can be a case where the number of objects is 0.
in this case this was found by a case where zlib was not present and the output file
was not written any objects to
note: this was only detected on the windows batch files, that do not have a conditional
condition to not run tests when a filter is not present
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Description: VMS doesn't like file names with more than one "."
Some h5repacktst output file names were of the form
<name>.out.h5 causing h5repacktst to choke.
Solution: Renamed output files to be of the form <name>out.h5
Platforms tested: heping, unnamed VMS machine
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Changed configure.in to use an environment variable TR to set the path
to the tr utility.
Solution:
There are two kind of tr on Solaris with slightly different syntax.
HDF5's configure relies on the "standard" tr. Traditionally, HDF5ers
have needed to make sure that the "right" tr was found before the
wrong one in their path; now they can use an environment variable.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, sol
Misc. update:
Forgot to update release notes. Off to do that now.
Makefile bug fix
Description:
Previously, automake didn't output rules to build perform/mpi-perf or
the test/gen_* programs.
Now these can be built by typing 'make mpi-perf' (or 'make foo') or by
configuring with --enable-build-all.
Solution:
Automake doesn't like having rules for programs it doesn't build. Tricked
it by having these programs built "sometimes"--whenever the user enables
--build-all. This should be used mostly for testing and to ensure that
these helper programs compile.
***IMPORTANT***
These programs do *not* currently compile. When --enable-build-all is used
(not the default), gen_new_fill fails because it uses an old API. This is
an existing "bug" that has simply been exposed by this checkin.
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, modi4, sol
Misc. update:
SETUP Was using "cp" command which means file $2 will inherit the permission
setting of file $1. If $1 is read-only, so will $2. That will cause
failure when the test attempts to write it later on. Changed to use
the "cat" command.
Tested in LANL QSC and Flash.
bug fix.
Description:
When a parallel test script test fails, make would continue because the
way it was setup inside a for loop. Fixed it by issuing an exit 1 inside
the loop.
There was also a typo error in the newer command comparision that it
must be $${chkname} in order to be valid. Also, the test script itself
was not checked in the newer lists. All fixed.
Platforms tested:
h5committested and also hand tested in heping pp mode.

Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
Added the time command to the make check target to report time usage
of the execute of each test and test scripts. This gives us some idea
how long each test takes and some vague idea it is compute bound or
not.
powerpc-ibm-aix5.x:
Change $RUNPARALLEL default setting to allow it being invoked by the
time command.
Platforms tested:
h5committested.
Feature
Description:
Added H5_CFLAGS, etc. to 1.7 branch.
Now compilation flags can be put in H5_*FLAGS and they'll be used when
building hdf5 but not in h5cc.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, modi4
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Disabled C++ shared libraries for Sun Workshop compiler.
Solution:
This bug only seems to happen when using the -xarch=v9 flag to compile in
64-bit mode, but disabling shared libraries entirely for this compiler is
an easier fix (I don't know how to detect 64 bit mode from the command line).
The framework for disabling shared libraries for other C++ compilers is
in place.
Platforms tested:
sol, mir, sleipnir, modi4
Bug fix/feature
Description:
Disabled shared libraries for a number of Fortran compilers that don't
support them.
This allows other compilers to support shared Fortran libraries.
Solution:
Added a conditional, SHARED_FORTRAN_CONDITIONAL, which is true if
Fortran supports shared libraries. It is set in configure.in.
Platforms tested:
mir, sleipnir, colonelk, heping
Bug fix
Description:
Building with --disable-static seems to have been broken on several platforms.
Fixed this.
Configure will now disable shared libraries automatically when using pgf90
or when building on Cygwin.
Solution:
To avoid errors when using shared libraries with pgf90 (which I had not
realized were compiler-specific), I had manually set convenience libraries
to use the -static linking flag. Apparently, this is not necessary, and
caused these libraries to be created as empty archives when --disable-static
was used.
Also, some libraries were including other libraries, which was not
necessary.
I also fixed code in configure.in to correctly detect whether shared
or static libraries are enabled, and moved code that disables shared libraries
to before libtool is created (rather than editing libtool after the fact).
Despite repeated warnings that only one shared library can be linked at a
time, I have yet to have shared libraries break the linking of tests on
any system. We'll see if the Daily Tests turn up anything.
Platforms tested:
mir (fortran, C++), sleipnir (C++), modi4 (fortran, C++, parallel),
sol (fortran, C++), cygwin
Description: Brought back changes from SX-6.
