Purpose:
Feature Add
Description:
Added "install-example" and "install-all" to the Makefile system.
The behaviour of the "make install*" options:
make install - Installs binaries, libraries, include
files, and example programs.
make install-examples - Installs only the example programs.
The directories are:
${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/{c,c++,fortran}
make install-all - Install the binaries, libraries, include
files, example programs, and
documentation. The whole kit-n'-caboodle.
make uninstall-examples - Get rid of those example files (but not
the ${prefix}/doc/hdf5/examples/...
directories)
There's a new bin/ program which helps create directories which are
deeply nested called "mkdirs". It's a simple shell script.
Platforms tested:
Linux
New feature
Description:
Added perform programs to test the HDF5 library performance. Programs
are installed in directory perform/.
Platforms tested:
eirene
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
The way we were generating Dependencies and .depend files was broken.
If the $srcdir or other macros began with a ".", then it would match
anything and cause problems since it would then overwrite the
beginning of the header file's path.
Solution:
Wrote a Perl script which can handle this type of weirdness better.
It's only used when the environment is a GNU one with a GCC
compiler...
Platforms tested:
Linux
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
Source directory has been rearranged. INSTALL*, HISTORY.txt and RELEASE.txt were moved to the release_docs directory. *.zip files were moved to the windows directory. README file was renamed to README.txt MANIFEST was updated to reflect those changes.
Purpose:
Feature
Description:
Changed Pablo source code to allow the user to build the instrumented
library to link with either the Trace Libraries or Pablo PCF.
Solution:
Added conditionally compiled code to routines in the pablo subdirectory.
Also added a new file PabloHDF_MPIO.c containing all of the MPI I/O code
for better code structure.
Platforms tested:
Solaris 32-bit, Irix 64
Purpose:
Adding two new files (doc/html/fortran/F90Flags.html, and
doc/html/fortran/h5_FORTRAN.html) to FORTRAN portion of
reference manual.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
There was a typo in the gif.h path that I overlooked first time.
Solution:
Fixed a typo. bin/chkmanifest does not complain anymore.
Platforms tested:
baldric
Purpose:
Adding new feature
Description:
Added gif2h5 and h52gif conversion utilities
Solution:
The utilites follow the framework built for the gif2hdf and hdf2gif
utilities for hdf4. The main files modified were those that read the
H5 file and those that write H5 file. In the future, if you wish to
continue with the framework and extend it to .png or some other fileformat
the main files to edit will be the gif reader and writer.
One point to note with h52gif. You have to specify the exact location of
the image and the palette that it links to. You can choose not to specify
a palette (uniform grayscale chosen in this case) but you must specify
image location. In the future, someone could edit the readhdf.c source
to enable the reader to parse the hdf file and select all images with
corresponding palettes.
Platforms tested:
modi4 , eirene , hawkwind , arabica , Ren (NT 4.0) , Personal box (win2k)
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
