Description: Here is what I did:
modified MANIFEST according Quincey's instructions to fix
the problem exposed by bin/release (compilation fails
because some header files were not included in the distribution)
fixed small typo and modified include_HEADERS line in
src/Makefile.am to address the problem exposed by bin/release
ran bin/h5vers to change version number to 1.8.0-alpha0
ran bin/release to release tar ball to the ftp server
Solution:
Platforms tested: mir MANY,MANY,MANY times
Misc. update:
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:
h5committested.
Description:
Add source code copyright notice; comment symbols vary by type of file.
Platforms tested:
No changes that should cause any problems. Nonetheless, the tree will
be checked out fresh and tests run immediately post-commit.
Description: The API function H5Tis_hard() which was recently checked
in has been renamed to H5Tcompiler_conv() to be more descriptive. No
other changes.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Misc. update: config/lt_vers.am to update libtool version.

Update config/lt_vers.am
Description:
My version number bump to config/lt_vers.am somehow didn't get checked
in with the rest of the metadata cache API mods.
Solution:
Bumped the version numbers again, and try checking in the file again.
Platforms tested:
None -- but see previous checkin of metadata cache API additions.
Misc. update:
New feature.
Description:
To update libtool's version number for changing API interface
of H5Psetscaleoffset.

Misc. update:
Feature - libtool shared library versioning
Description:
Libtool provides a mechanism for different versions of the same shared
library to be distinguished. Now this is applied to HDF5 when it is
built as a shared library.
Solution:
The version number is stored in config/lt_vers.am, and included in
src/Makefile.am.
This number will be automatically updated by bin/h5vers; developers
only need to update it when they change the API.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Any time the API changes, the version number in config/lt_vers.am must
be updated!
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, verbena, modi4
