Purpose: Maintenance
Description: Added h5fget_name_f and h5fget_filesize_f subroutines and tests.
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: arabica (32-bit), sol (64-bit)
parallle build on copper failed for the C library with the the
following error:
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .H5FD_stdio_term
Since this change doesn't affect the C library, I am cheking it in
and will retest the fresh CVS copy after this check-in.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
HDF5 now supports SZIP with no encoder.
Description:
SZIP can be configured to have both encoder and decoder or just to have the decoder. HDF5 can now query the configuration of any filter, and will throw errors if users try to write using a filter with encoding disabled.
Solution:
Added H5Zget_filter_info function, changed API for H5Pget_filter and H5P_get_filter_by_id. See SZIP RFC.
Platforms tested:
Copper (fortran, C++, parallel), Sleipnir (C++), Arabica (fortran, C++), Verbena (fortran, C++)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Updated H5MPprivate.h for the new API function H5Itype_exists.
Description:
This is the last commit for these changes... I swear...
Solution:

Misc. update:
Description: Added new API H5Fget_name and new test program called filename.c. This function
returns the name of the file by object ID(file, group, dataset, named datatype, and attribute)
which belongs to the file.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST and RELEASE.txt
Description: If compound datatype has variable-length string as field, after it's committed to
the file, when it's reopened, the size of the datatype is miscalculated. It makes the data
unreadable. Dumper also fails to read data because of this problem.
Solution: Change the size of datatype when it's committed to file. Then modify the size again
for memory type when it's reopened.
Platforms tested: h5committest and RH 8.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite_read_f functions were overloaded
with dims argument being of type INTEGER and INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
We promised to remove overloading in 1.4 release. It was
removed from documentation but not from the source code.
Solution: Finish code cleanup.
Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 32 and 64 bit, and copper with --enable-
parallel. Windows are broken, so Kent and Xuan
will test it with their changes later.
Misc. update:
Description: a new dataspace, null dataspace.
Solution: it's a dataspace without any element. This is a staged check-in.
After daily test succeeds, will add a test.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Description: integer-float software conversion. There are some
print commands left in the source code. Will clean them up once
no problem is found in test.
Platforms tested: h5committest.
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
bug fix
Description:
the fletcher filter used a temporary 2 byte word buffer to compute the checksum.
this is non portable between big-endian/little endian.
Solution:
replaced with a buffer of 1 byte type
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris
solaris 64 bit
AIX
windows
Misc. update:
Code cleanup/bug fix
Description:
Fix configuration files to allow 64-bit compilation of the library with
a 64-bit version of zlib.
Solution:
Moved important compiler flags settings from CC macro to CFLAGS macro.
Instead of setting CC (F9X, CXX) environment variable for compiling for 64-bit
code, users should just set the CFLAGS (FFLAGS, CXXFLAGS) to -q64.
Updated INSTALL file to reflect this change.
Platforms tested:
IBM p690 (copper) w/parallel, FORTRAN, C++, srcdir.
Platforms specific - h5committest does not apply.
Description: software conversion from float to integer(integer to float hasn't
be done yet).
Solution: This is the software conversion.
Platforms tested: h5committest
Misc. update: RELEASE.txt
Purpose:
replaced name of delete filter with remove filter for the new function H5Premove_filter

Misc. update:
New Feature. (Contributed by Robb)
Description:
Allow h5ls to specify a VFL with the '--vfl=' command line flag.
Add MPI-I/O & MPI-POSIX VFL drivers to list of drivers available for
h5ls and h5dump.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committested
Bug fix.
Description:
Allow H5Tget_native_type() to handle opaque fields in compound datatypes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix/optimization
Description:
Address slowdown in MPI-I/O file metadata operations that was introduced
mid-stream. We now _require_ a POSIX compliant parallel file system for the
MPI-I/O file driver (as well as for the MPI-POSIX file driver).
Also optimized file open operation when the file is being created by
reducing the number of collective & syncronizing calls.
Additionally, refactor the MPI routines into a common place, eliminating
duplicated code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Add C++ and FORTRAN wrappers for new H5Pdelete_filter routine, along with
documentation and a note in the release notes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/ C++ and FORTRAN
Too minor for full h5committest
Add tests & docs
Description:
Added tests for the recent B-tree bug fixes & document their fix in the
release notes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
Correct two problems with variable-length datatypes in datasets:
- When overwriting an entire dataset, writing the fill value to the
file would be skipped, causing problems for VL datatypes when
objects in the file had been unlinked (and thus the space in the
file was not all zeros)
- When an application has set a fill-value for a dataset and the
dataset's datatype contained a VL datatype, the library was filling
space on disk with the memory form of the VL information, instead
of the disk form.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.

FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
