To support collective chunk IO, obtain the chunk addresses globally from one process.
Description:
Implement a call-back function to iterate B-tree to do the job.
Check in this code for major check-ins later.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
heping(Linux)
Should not be used by any library functions now, so won't affect library and tool tests.
No need to test on 3 platforms.
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bug in hl/src Makefile that was deleting y.tab.c.
Running bin/reconfigure changed a few other files as well (somebody
probably updated Makefiles.am but forgot to bin/reconfigure).
Solution:
Automake in its wisdom adds the line "rm *.tab.c" to every distclean
in every directory. I assume that it assumes that such files are
generated during the build. Supplied an empty distclean-compile
target to remove this line from the Makefiles.in.

Misc. update:
Description: The last checkin to add #ifdef H5_HAVE_UNISTD_H before #include<unistd.h>
didn't work because no hdf5 library header file have been included in that stage.
Solution: Changed it to #ifndef WIN32.
Platforms tested: sleipnir g++ where the complaint happened.
New feature
Description:
Check in baseline for compact group revisions, which radically revises the
source code for managing groups and object headers.
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
This initiates the "unstable" phase of the 1.7.x branch, leading up
to the 1.8.0 release. Please test this code, but do _NOT_ keep files created
with it - the format will change again before the release and you will not
be able to read your old files!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!! WARNING!!!!
Solution:
There's too many changes to really describe them all, but some of them
include:
- Stop abusing the H5G_entry_t structure and split it into two separate
structures for non-symbol table node use within the library: H5O_loc_t
for object locations in a file and H5G_name_t to store the path to
an opened object. H5G_entry_t is now only used for storing symbol
table entries on disk.
- Retire H5G_namei() in favor of a more general mechanism for traversing
group paths and issuing callbacks on objects located. This gets us out
of the business of hacking H5G_namei() for new features, generally.
- Revised H5O* routines to take a H5O_loc_t instead of H5G_entry_t
- Lots more...
Platforms tested:
h5committested and maybe another dozen configurations.... :-)

that matches the online documentation

Misc. update:
Improvement
Description:
The previous HTML files strategy was to expect the very first comment
block is the copyright notice. That did not work well as more and more
other comments appear now.
Solution:
Changed the strategy to look for the only the essential body of copyright
notice. This no longer verifies this body of text is a comment block. But
the previous strategy is not really bullet-proof either.
Platforms tested:
tested in heping.

Description: lex.yy.c for H5LTtext_to_dtype() has been failing to compile
on 64-bit SunOS. It has malloc() call but doesn't include stdlib.h.
Solution: Include stdlib.h in H5LTanalyze.l.

Misc. update:
Description: The g++ on sleipnir had troubles to compile the H5LTtext_to_dtype()
code.
Solution: Fixed problems at different places.
Platforms tested: h5committest and g++ on sleipnir.
New feature
Description:
Add in baseline "object copy" code from Peter [in the form of a new API
routine: H5Gcopy()]. There's still some work to do (like handling variable-
length datatypes and possibly support for references) and it hasn't been tested
on mounted files yet, but the core functionality is there and working
correctly.
I've also got a set of patches to update the 1.6 branch with tweaks to
keep the branches mostly in sync, but Elena will kill me if I import them
before the 1.6.5 release is out... :-)
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
h5committested
Purpose: Minor bug fix
Description: Static function test_text_dtype() has static subroutines defined after itself. The gcc compiler on sleipnir complained.
Solution: put test_text_dtype() after subroutine's definition.
Platforms tested: sleipnir with gcc 4.0 where the complaints happened. Simple change.
Updated RELEASE.txt
Description:
Mentioned that h5c++ and h5fc now support linking against shared libraries.

documentation change only
Code cleanup
Description:
Clean up H5Dcreate a little, to prepare for coding standards discussion
today.
Platforms tested:
Just eyeballed, too trivial to require testing.
Bug fix, feature.
Description:
Fix a bug to recognize "#xyz..." is a comment in the init file.
Add more binary data file types.
Added prunepath command.
Platforms tested:
heping.
Description: Adding the new function H5LTtext_to_dtype() for converting text description to data type.
The next step will be H5LTdtype_to_text().
Solution: Use Lex and Yacc to do parsing of the text. H5LTanalyze.l is the lexer for analyzing the
input; H5LTparse.y is the parser. They are not part of HL library, but are used to generate lex.yy.c
(from H5LTanalyze.l) as well as y.tab.c and y.tab.h (from H5LTparse.y). The tools used to create
these source files are GNU FLEX and YACC on a Linux machine (fuss). The commands are "lex H5LTanalyze.l"
and "yacc -d H5LTparse.y". Detailed document will be added later.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: MANIFEST
Added messages to remind platform watchers to check for processes
still running in the remote machine after timeout.
Platforms tested:
Just eyeballed. Changes is trivial.
Copyright fix
Description:
Added a blank line so that Automake would put the copyright at the top of
the file.

Bug fix
Description:
Fixed a bug when using h5fc and h5c++ with static libraries.
Added high-level C++ and Fortran libraries to h5c++ and h5fc.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
mir, heping, shanti, sleipnir
Improvement
Description:
The copyright notice of some files may contain some white spaces such
as tabs, trailing blanks and \r (common in Windows files). Diff will
flag them as not matching. Could not just use -b or -w of diff because
it will ignore embedded spaces and could not handle \r anyway.
Solution:
Added a RINSE function will remove all \r and trailing spaces and
expand tabs to proper number of spaces. Now, diff can compare without
worry of cosmetic white spaces.
Platforms tested:
heping, applying on a Windows/copy_hdf.bat file.
