Description:
This checkin is another Windows project cleanup, and also extends our Windows support for 64-bit Fortran. Project files are now in VS2005 format, rather than VS.NET. A couple projects have been renamed to be more descriptive (*cstub rather than *_lib), and project settings make better use of build macros. This will make them much easier to update in the future.
Tested:
VS2005 on WinXP 32-bit
VS2005 on WinXP x64
Description:
Previously the process of generating h5tinit.c, as well as the Fortran type files, was very manual on Windows. For Fortran, the process included opening 4 different solutions, and running 4 different commands from the prompt. I've made things very much more automated, and now only requires only building one project for either C or C/Fortran. Running the commands to generate the file is done automatically.
Tested: VS.NET
Description:
Visual Studio does not have the function siglongjmp. Therefore, we have created a new configure flag H5_HAVE_SIGLONGJMP that tests for this. We use this within H5detect.c.
Tested:
VS.NET
h5committest
Description:
At a previous seminar, it was brought up that the naming scheme for Windows debug DLL is inconsistent. Specifically, some use *ddll, while others use *dlld. *dlld is more widely-used, so we decided this is "correct". This changes others to use this scheme, and adapts other projects / install scripts / documentation.
Tested:
Visual Studio .NET on WinXP
Description:
Previously, we needed to force symbol definition "gethostname@8" for compatibility with old versions of Visual Studio. It appears that Visual Studio no longer requires this, so we remove it. This makes the build process on 64-bit much smoother.
Also minor updates to main documentation, command-line documentation, and removed codewarrior and INTEL docs.
Tested:
VS.NET
VS2005
chkmanifest
Description:
The Windows documentation on generating H5tinit.c was lacking special instructions for Visual Studio 2005. Specifically, Windows does not support the function "siglongjmp". Previous versions of Visual Studio will ignore this function, but VS2005 produces an error.
Tested:
VS6
VNET
VS2005
Description:
Explain why Fortran isn't supported on MinGW and give users an "unsupported" alternative. Also re-worked the main documentation to clarify using the HDF5 DLL libraries.
Tested:
None needed.
Description:
This makes major updates to the Windows installation documentation, to account for the switch from VS6 to .NET. Installation instructions for 6.0 can also be found in INSTALL_Windows_Short_MSVS6.0.TXT, although it's noted that we are phasing out our VS6 support.
Also added install instrctions for MinGW, to reflect our initial support. Updated MANIFEST for new file checkin.
Tested:
Instructions for each configuration have been tested.
Description:
Updated RELEASE.txt to reflect support for 64-bit Windows. Also updated the testing table, and removed some old Windows-related issues that are no longer present.
No testing needed.
I've also updated our Windows documentation file to include 64-bit instructions. The process is fairly tedious right now, but we hope to make it more straight-forward when we depreciate 6.0 and re-work our project files.
Tested:
32-bit WinXP: VS6, VS.NET, and VS 2005
64-bit WinXP: VS.NET and VS 2005
Change back to clearing memory buffers by default, but give users option
to disable this, for performance reasons (--disable-clear-file-buffers).
Also, add configure option (--enable-using-memchecker) to conveniently
control making the library "play nice" with memory checking tools like valgrind
and purify.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
Linux/32 2.6 (kagiso)
added entries
- Fortran interfaces for the Image, Table and Lite APIs. PVN - 2007/5/1
- New HDF5 Dimension Scale API (H5DS) allows dimension scales to be
created in an HDF5 file and associated with specific datasets.
PVN - 2007/5/1
Updated for 1.8.0-beta1.
Updated URLs from hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu
to www.hdfgroup.org or www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu, as appropriate
and corrected otherwise-out-of-date URLs.
Updated HDF Help Desk address to 'help@hdfgroup.org'.
Added notes regarding beta documentation.
And here were a few minor edits.
Tested:
Visual inspection.
-This line, and those below, will be ignored--
M RELEASE.txt
Change H5[D|G|T]<foo>_expand() "temporary" API routines to
H5[D|G|T]<foo>2() "versioned" routines. Also added
H5[D|G|T](create|commit)_anon() routines to continue to allow "anonymous"
objects to be created in a file.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.9 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 6.2 (duty)
FreeBSD/64 6.2 (liberty)
Linux/32 2.6 (chicago)
Linux/64 2.6 (chicago2)
Add mention of the h5copy & h5mkgrp tools to the release notes.
Update documentation for the "--private" flag in release script
Tested on:
None - just text/comment changes
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)
Aix/32 5.? (copper)
Add new H5Lget_val_by_idx() routine & tests.
Also includes most of changes for H5Ldelete_by_idx() routine.
Tested on:
Mac OS X/32 10.4.8 (amazon)
FreeBSD/32 4.11 (sleipnir)

"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.
