Relax restriction on the "location ID" for attribute operations to allow
file IDs to be used as the location ID. If a file ID is used, the attribute
operations will occur on the file's root group.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Added the WARNING messages of unstable temporary formats.
For README.txt,
In addition, also updated website name to hdfgroup.org, updated email addresses
new names and new subscription instructions.
Platforms tested:
Eyeballed since these are just information files.
Add tests for H5Oopen_by_idx() (in a rare fit of superlative coding I
apparently got the implementation complete correct in my earlier checkin :-)
Tested on:
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
Add support for "delete by index" to "old-style" groups, finishing
implmentation of H5Ldelete_by_idx() routine.
Tested on:
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux/32 2.4 (heping)
Linux/64 2.4 (mir)

Add new H5Lget_val_by_idx() routine & tests.
Also includes most of changes for H5Ldelete_by_idx() routine.

"make check-vfd" will now run all tests in the test directory with different
file drivers (at least, all of those tests that use the testing framework's
FAPL). Tests that fail will be skipped.
This is not a perfect fix, but is better than nothing.
Along with this change, check-vfd should be added to the Daily Tests.
Description: Added support for HPUX11.23
Solution: Added configuration file for the system.
Both C, C++, F90, HL 32-bit and 64-bit are supported. Known problems:
C++ library will not build in 64-bit mode if shared is enabled.
Platforms tested: HPUX 11.23 at UMKC
Misc. update:
Configuration feature
Description:
'make install' now tests both static and shared libraries if both are installed.
Solution:
Previously, shared libraries were only tested when static libraries were not installed.
Also cleaned up line in commence.am that was including HL library in all Makefiles.
Platforms tested:
mir (Makefile change only)
Bug fix
Description:
Fix bug which could lead to files with incorrect count of messages in the
header for an object. The exact sequence of operations is complicated and
is described in the release notes.
Solution:
Mark merged null header messages as dirty.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (chicago)
Mac OS/X (amazon)
Bug fix
Description:
Changed the semantics of --enable-stream-vfd and --enable-shared.
Both are now disabled by default when parallel HDF5 is being built.
Solution:
Both shared and stream-vfd are disabled by default in parallel, but can
be enabled explicitly if the user chooses.
Before, shared was always enabled by default and stream-vfd was
always disabled in parallel.

when G_FLOAT is used (not IEEE double)

Description:
The fix of the TR was put in the wrong session (new configure feature).
It is moved to the proper session (bug fix on configure.)
Bug fix.
Description:
The ${TR}, though avoid the error, is inconvenient. It is needed
because configure.in use the char range in the style of 'a-z'.
The other style of '[a-z]' is more commonly accepted by all tr
but autoconf tends to strip away [], making the syntax rather
clumsy.
Solution:
Learned from autoconf that it avoids the use of character range
by just spell all the letters out. Changed our tr commands to
use those variables defined by autoconf. Also removed the
definition of ${TR} since it will cause inconsistancy when
autoconf also use plain 'tr' in its generated code.
The Makefile.in are changed because the elimination of ${TR} from
configure triggered its removal from all Makefil.in. That is okay
because ${TR} is not used at all in Makefile.
Platforms tested:
h5committested. (sol failed to connected). also tested in shanti
using both /usr/ucb/tr and /bin/tr (the bad one before.)
Misc. update:
Updated both INSTALL and RELEASE files.
Description: Comitting files modified by the bin/release script
before tagging the release.

the problem exposed by bin/release (compilation fails
because some header files were not included in the distribution)

src/Makefile.am to address the problem exposed by bin/release

Remove the section of using DEBUG information inside HDF5 since it is difficult to verify whether this part of code is indeed used. Most people use windows' own debugger while debugging.

Bug fix
Description:
Retrieving an object's name could fail (in various ways) under certain
circumstances (mostly having to do with mounted files).
Solution:
Re-write & simplify "get object name" code to fix error in a better way
than adding yet another hack to the previous pile of hacks... :-)

h5committest
Unstable format version marker.
Description:
This marks the Check in baseline for compact group revisions,
which radically revises the source code for managing groups and object headers.
Earlier versions (1.7.52 or earlier) have the original format. This version
and later have the unstable format until further notice.
Platforms tested:

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.... :-)
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)

Updated RELEASE.txt
Description:
Mentioned that h5c++ and h5fc now support linking against shared libraries.
Platforms tested:
documentation change only
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:
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:
Bug fix
Description:
Fix "double root open" bug and apply same fix to datasets & named datatypes.
Also fix bug in symbol table entry lookup code that would "transfer" an
object from one file handle to another file handle when the two file handles
were opened on the same actual file.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
