API tweak.
Description:
The H5Sget_select_bounds() API call was using hsize_t arrays for retrieving
the 'start' and 'end' coordinates, which is counter to the rest of the dataspace
API.
Solution:
Change the arrays to be hssize_t instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel

Misc. update:
Updated all docs for this change.
Added 1.4 compatibility #ifdef's
Minor corrections to match the man pages. Code provided by Pankaj.
Description:
* do not accept more than 30 file names
* corrected error messages.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Tested on verbena.
Already tested on several platforms before integration.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release
Description: I did more cleanup and restructuring of the file.

Bug fix
Description:
This would sometimes coredump in machines like PSC Alpha cluster
or linux icc if -g is not used.
Solution:
The real problem was because char string arrays were declared
without including space for the null terminator. E.g.,
char s[5][2]={ "s1", "s2", ...}
is not correct. Increased the size and also need to change
the H5S... definitions too.
Platforms tested:
"h5committested"--the h5dumpgentest passed without problem though
it failed in Fortran but that is a current known problem.
Tested in verbena using icc and also in PSC's cluster.
Misc. update:
Can't find this error in the v1.5 know problem list.
Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release
Description: HISTORY.txt was not updated in 1.5 branch since 1.2.0 release.
RELEASE.txt had a lot of redundant info that is now in HISTORY.txt
INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt was lost in 1.5 branch.
Solution: I updated HISTORY.txt to include release history up to 1.4.5 release.
After that I removed all information related to the 1.4.* releases
from RELEASE.txt file. "Platforms Tested" section was brought up
to date based on the information provided by developers for 1.6.0 first
round of testing. RELEASE.txt still needs a lot of work.
INSTALL_Windows_withF90.txt is also a first draft, more work is needed.
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance for 1.6 release
Description: I added INSTALL_Windows_withf90.txt file that was lost
in 1.5 branch.
Solution: Modified MANIFEST to include new file.

Misc. update:
Performance improment
Description:
Speed up chunked dataset I/O. This breaks down into several areas:
- Compute chunk selections in the file by using hyperslab operations
instead of iterating over each element in the selection.
- If the file and memory selections are the same shape, use the file
chunk selections to compute the memory chunk selections.
This required several additional dataspace, dataspace selection and
hyperslab routines.
Platforms tested:

Bug fix
Description:
Failed tests were not being reported correctly to main test routine, so
they were not stopping a 'make check'

Changed '1' to '-1' for failures.
Platforms tested:
h5committestted (although Fortran tests failed for some reason)
Bug fix
Description:
When free lists where disabled, the macros for array free list operations
could possibly expand in ways that allowed incorrect numbers of objects to be
operated on.
Solution:
Put parentheses around macro arguments when performing operations with them.

h5diff support for long_long
Description:
added h5diff support for long_long;
No automatic test was added because
it seems that the printf format of long_long is slightly different in Linux and IRIX(modi4),
because the diff command complained about a difference in the 2 test files for long_long;
visually, it seems that in IRIX an extra space is added after the print (or maybe it is
just me that is seeing extra spaces :=)
this test is test 5.8, commented in testh5diff.sh
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
Bug Fix
Description:
The order the libraries are included in the compilation line is very
important.
Solution:
Need to specify the libraries in the order that they are given. If
we're building the application staticly, then use the static HDF5
library.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Verbena
Arabica
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the signed / unsigned comparison was not properly handled.
the fixtype function sets the sign for the memory type the same sign as found on disk
and the array_diff function only handled signed cases
Solution:
addded for each INTEGER size type an OR condition with the unsigned version
if the datatypes have different signs , comparison is NOT supported

Misc. update:
Speed up
Description:
Cache the settings of all number types to save configure time.
Reduced configure time by a whopping 40% (11m to 7m :-)
Platforms tested:
Sasn100 only (janus frontend.)
bug fix
Description:
Not all echo commands honors the '-n' option. In those cases,
the output look weired though recognizable.
Solution:
Eliminated the use of -n option. A better fix would be having
configure to set the proper use of the echo command.
Platforms tested:
only on sasn100 (a sun frontend of Janus).
No committest since this is just a simple shell script change.
Bug fix
Description:
(void *)~((size_t)NULL) on the Cray is a different value than
(foo *)~((size_t)NULL) and causes some of the hyperslab algorithms to
fail.
Solution:
Change all the 'void *' forms to 'foo *' forms.
Platforms tested:
Cray SV1
h5committest not needed.
Bug Fix
Description:
Two things:
- static libraries may depend upon the HDF5 library. We should
put them before the HDF5 library on the commandline instead of
afterwards to avoid conflict.
- the CFLAGS weren't being used during linking. This was causing
problems on Arabica where the flags are important to
distinguish between building a 32-bit and 64-bit application.
Solution:
- Added logic so that it catches the static libraries and puts them
before the hdf5 library on the command line. WARNING: This may not
work in all situations...but it should be okay for the good
majority.
- added the CFLAGS macro to the commandline...
Platforms tested:
LInux (Colonelk)
Arabica
Modi4 (Parallel)
(Small changes so doesn't need full h5committesting...)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Support for Fortran Absoft compiler on Linux
Description: Absoft has its own name translation rules
for the names of C functions called from Fortran
Solution: Added "if defined H5_ABSOFT" statement to the linux portion
of the H5f90i.h file to define correct translations.
For now, Fortran users who use ABSOFT fortran compiler have to specify
-DH5_ABSOFT flag for their C compiler.
Platforms tested: Remote laptop running SuSE8.1 with Absoft compiler,
verbena with icc and ifc just to make sure that
our current linux configuration still works.
Since it is a pure Linux change, I didn't test it on
other systems.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: all_withf90.zip file contained unnecessary
all.ncb all.opt hdf5.mcp files
Solution: Removed
Platforms tested: Windows 2000 with Intel and MVSC++ C and Fortran
compilers. SZIP fortran test fails in debug mode
while trying to create a file. It is a failure
similar that Bill reported for 1.5.54 failure on Linux
2.4 with pgf90 compiler. I am looking into the problem.
Misc. update:
Purpose: bug fix for Tru64 and test of the latest szip library.
Description: h5diff uses basename function that also is defined
in the system string.h file. That caused compilation to
fail.
Solution: renamed basename to h5diff_basename
Platforms tested: verbena, arabica, arabica-64,
and PSC Compaq machine.
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance and bug fixes and test of latest szip library..
Description: Recently Quincey enabled MEDIUM test for istore. That caused
daily tests to fail on verbena. It looks like that test
creates a pretty big file, and afs write fails. Test passes
when run in /tmp.
Solution: Disable MEDIUM test and filed bug report to investigate the problem
little bit more carefully.
Platforms tested: verbena, arabica, arabica-64 (since I also tested newest szip)
Misc. update:
bug fix and enhancement
Description:
combined the --simple option to the display of NATIVE datatypes
with the -S option , the print of the datatype will always display the full description
making it possible to do an automatic test for catching differences on output
made the case for printing the type of bitfield data, which was not handled
the new test generates a dataset with 10 attributes, each one a different datatype

Misc. update:
Add printout to identify when the MPIPOSIX driver is being tested instead
of the MPI-IO driver..
Platforms tested:
Tested in copper in parallel mode only since it was just a simple
print statement in the parallel test code.
Misc. update:
Small feature.
Description:
Change the wording for the use of HDF5_PARAPREFIX from Remark to hint.
Also made process 0 be the only one printing the hint rather all
processes duplicating the same hints.
Platforms tested:
Copper, both serial and parallel.
Did not do h5commit test since this is very localized and the above
tests covered both cases already.
