Update
Description:
On further discussion with Albert and Quncey, it was decided to keep
the original "unsignedness" of the nkeys variable.
Solution:
Changed the type from intn to uintn.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
The --enable-static-exec flag was failing on Linux systems. The
reason: a "long long" type was growing by some obscene amount if you
just add 1 to it (tis truth!). In one statement, it prints out the
correct value. Add one to it and print it out in the next statement
and it gives you a very large number. This would, in turn, cause the
resulting memcpy to fail...
Solution:
Changed the variable from "hsize_t" to "intn" which is what the field
it's getting is typed anyway.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
feature
Description:
This brings the development version up to date with the release version.
It now supports Pablo tracing of MPI-I/O calls from MPI-I/O versions
which are not totally compliant with the standars.
Solution:
Added entries to bypass the current MPI-I/O tracing in the Pablo Trace
Library.
Platforms tested:
IRIX64/Solaris/IBM SP2
Purpose:
Windows port
Description:
Names of the H5f.c and H5ff.f90 files caused problems on Windows98.
Compilation of H5F.c (C Library) and H5Ff.f90 (Fortran library)
as compilation of H5f.c and H5ff.f90 creates the same H5F.o and H5FF.o
file names and linking stage fails.
Solution:
Rename the files to H5_f.c and H5_ff.f90
Platforms tested:
Linux (eirene) and Windows98
Purpose:
Add definations of two new functions

[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
Purpose:
Add a constant(compression level for gzip)

Purpose:
a bug fix
Description:
User can define "Real Vdata" as user-defined attribute. By using VSisattr, we can check this out. In order to keep this piece of information, We use "Vdata attribute" in the converted HDF5 file to distingush this kind of Vdata from independent Vdata.
Solution:
see above
Platforms tested:
eirene(Linux)
Purpose:
a bug fix
Description:
When Vsisattr is true, this Vdata still needs to be converted as an independent
real "Vdata", We will add object type of this vdata as "Vdata attribute".
Solution:
erease the evaluation of Vsisattr call.
Platforms tested:
Linux(eirene)
Purpose:
bug fix Adding more features
Description:
Bugs: 1) hdf4 dimensional scale data can be none, but the dim name can still defined by users, so number of hdf4 dimensional names and number of object reference may be different
Previously, this problem is not considered.
2) SDcheckempty will return true when fill value is set to HDF4 SDS, and then fill value information is lost
3) check whether SDS have fill value set although SDcheckempty return true.
Use H5Psetfillvalue and H5Dcreate in HDF5 part, still needs to wait for the new development of HDF5 and also need to investigate whether this part of code has bugs.
New features: compressed SDS will get compressed with gzip when it is converted. That will save some space.

Bug Fix
Description:
The "-$(RM)" flags were causing error messages when doing a make
distclean.
Solution:
Removed the "-" from the beginning.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Codemaintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the source code.
Platforms tested:
Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Purpose:
Code maintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the tests.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98, Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Purpose:
Windows port
Description:
Multiple changes:
* Windows platforms require special compiler directives
in order to create DLLs.
* In read/write subroutines data arrays were passed by descriptor.
This worked on UNIX but did not work on Windows.
Solution:
* added compiler directives.
* read/write APIs have been changed. There is an additional
parameter (array that contains the sizes of data buffer dimensions)
and regular arrays are used instead of assumed-shaped arrays.
Platforms tested:
* Currently this feature does not work. Common blocks are not exported correctly
from one F90 module to another.
I am checking this in so I can ask DEC for help.
* For static library tests passed on Windows 98 ( except flush2_fortran)
All tests passed on Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K and T3E
Purpose:
Windows F90 port
Description:
all_withf90.zip file conyains all necessary projects to build
and test HDF5 library (both C and F90) on Windows platforms
Platforms tested:
Windows 98
Bug Fix
Description:
For parallel compiles, it needed the libtest.so library and wasn't
finding it.
Solution:
Added the path to the library to the rpath in the ltmain.sh file.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
New feature
Description:
Added a parallel HDF5 example. make check knows how to
run it in serial mode but not in parallel mode since the
current makefile has no provision for parallel code execution.
One would have to do it by hand (e.g., mpirun -np 2 ./ph4example)
Platforms tested:
modi4 (serial and parallel)
small bug fix
Description:
If specifying --stride, it was checking for the wrong short-form of
the command-line parameters.
Solution:
Changed the 'T' to 'S' which is the new short form for the stride
option.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix...
Description:
For the tools library, it needed to find the HDF5 library in the
`pwd`/../../src directory.
Solution:
Added `pwd`/../../src to the rpaths.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
(Final?) Bug Fix
Description:
Okay, for those of you following this saga:
Shared libraries weren't being found on the O2K system. Why not?
Well, turns out that libtool is dain bramaged. Instead of
creating executables for executables, it creates shell scripts.
These shell scripts actually recompile the code, relinking it
with the "correct" libraries. It's similar to when it goes to do
an install. It recompiles to the binary so that it picks up the
proper libraries. BUT! Libtool wasn't placing into the shell
scripts where the shared libraries it was looking for actually
were.
Solution:
I hacked up ltmain.sh so that it puts the required dynamic library
directories into the compile line when it creates the
shell-script/binaries.
Platforms tested:
Modi4...
Bug Fix.
Description:
Setting a non-zero userblock size was causing raw data caching code to
break.
Solution:
Changed from using absolute end-of-address-space offsets in cache size
calculations to relative offsets.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Bug Fix
Description:
The fix I put in on Friday wasn't working properly.
Solution:
Changed some single quotes to double quotes so that the macros are
expanded and set "command_finalize" to the newest values I created.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug Fix
Description:
The compiler on Modi4 (and possibly other machines) couldn't handle a
long string being passed in with the -Wl, flag.
Solution:
Wrote some script which separates the string being passed into
multiple flags with "-Wl,-rpath -Wl," before them.
Platforms tested:
Modi4
Bug fix.
Description:
'make distclean' is broken on FreeBSD 4.3, with some syntax errors. I have
a feeling that the make command is more picky in FBSD 4.3 than in 4.2 which
is what is causing these errors to crop up now.
Solution:
Add missing semicolon to line in 'clean' target and take out bogus '-'s
in front of "$(RM)" commands which are already in if's
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.3 (hawkwind)
Purpose:
Repair damaged HTML coding (caused by the Netscape editor)
and restore additions since that damage occured.
Add h5dump subsetting material.
Description:
Reverted to earlier version to restore HTML coding.
Re-entered h5dump XML material and explanatory comment re h5dump
flag parameters.
Added h5dump subsetting material.
Other editing and formatting within h5dump description.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Bug fix and clean up.
Description:
The part that should test 4GB was actually testing 2GB due to
typo.
Solution:
Corrected the typo to use 4GB constant. Rearranged the code
to group 2GB and 4GB tests in their own. Removed some duplicated
testing code.
Platforms tested:
modi4.
Purpose:
Label for "R 1.5, Unrelease Development Branch".
Description:
Changed appropriate subtitle line and appropriate footer.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Cleanup
Description:
If there isn't anything to "remove" during the cleanup faze. This
stops the "make clean"s from printing out:
rm -f
all of the time.
Solution:
Check if hte macros have anything in them before calling the rm.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Improvement
Description:
The DIFF used to keep running after detecting significant code changes.
This was done in order to see all changes but no one seems to look
at the diff any more. So, let it end the DIFF cycle once it determines
there are enough differences for a new test.
Added "install install-doc uninstall uninstall-doc" to the test
cycle.
Platforms tested:
Eirene, gondolin, modi4
Update
Description:
If the count for a subset isn't specified, then we default to the
remainder of the dataset.
Solution:
Check for the count to be specified. If not, then find the dimensions
of the dataset and subtract from the the "start" parameter.
Platforms tested:
Linux
Bug Fix
Description:
On the T3E, the hack about SUBDOCDIR macro didn't work cause it
wanted an actual value to be in this macro. Well, it wasn't, so now I
check that it actually has a value.
Solution:
Check that DOCDIR and SUBDOCDIR have a value before trying to do
anything with it.
