./src/H5A.c
Named data types can have attributes.
Fixed bugs where the API functions didn't check the return
values of their internal counterparts and thus the automatic
error reporting didn't work.
Fixed some places where the error stack wasn't cleared after a
function returned failure.
Data types returned by H5Aget_type() are always read-only.
If the `attr_num' argument of H5Aiterate() is null then it
acts like H5Giterate() instead of failing -- it begins
processing attributes with the first one.
./src/H5D.c
We check for allocation overruns when scalar datasets are
stored in external files.
./src/H5O.c
H5O_modify() will fail if the message is >=16kB.
./src/H5Oattr.c
Split some long lines
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tprivate.h
Added H5T_entof() to support attributes on named types.
./src/h5ls.c
Prints the names of attributes and their sizes.
./test/cmpd_dset.c
./test/dsets.c
./test/dtypes.c
./test/extend.c
./test/external.c
./test/gheap.c
./test/istore.c
./test/links.c
./test/shtype.c
If the environment variable HDF5_NOCLEANUP is defined then the
temporary files are not removed. The testhdf5 program still
has the bug that it removes *.h5, clobbering test files from
other programs... oh well.
./test/dtypes.c
Added attribute tests.

Symbolic links are now supported. The ./test/links program
will create a `links.h5' file that demonstrates hard links,
soft links, dangling links, and recursive links. A symbolic
link is a symbol table entity and doesn't have an object
header. It's format is described in H5.format.hml.
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5Gpublic.h
./src/h5ls.c
Implemented H5Gstat() and H5Gget_linkval() as documented by
Quincey. The `H5G_type_t type' field of `H5G_stat_t' was
changed to `int type' because H5G_type_t was already used and
the `type' data type should be open-ended.
./src/H5Ffamily.c
Removed an incorrect diagnostic message.
./test/big.c
Added read/write calls to test partial I/O to big contiguous
datasets. With no arguments it writes to a dataset and prints
the list of points written which should be redirected to a
file. With an argument (the name of a file containing the
stdout of a run with no arguments) values are read from the
dataset. One would typically say `big >x && big x'.
