Robb Matzke 8bb8649482 [svn-r925] Changes since 19981116
----------------------

./INSTALL.parallel	[NEW]
	We're beginning to unify some of the parallel installation
	steps.  This file will contain general information for
	installing the parallel library.  It's not complete yet.

./configure.in
./configure		[REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in	[REGENERATED]
	Check for xdr_int() in libnsl required on Solaris when linking
	with hdf4.  It's found on the Irix system I tested which
	complains that `-lnsl' didn't resolve any symbols. Oh well.

	Fixed the order of searching for libdf and libmfhdf for hdf4
	linking.

./configure.in
./configure		[REGENERATED]
./src/H5config.h.in	[REGENERATED]
./src/H5Z.c
	Check for compress() in libz in order to find older versions
	of the library that will still work for hdf4.  Added a
	separate check for compress2() that hdf5 will use.

./test/istore.c

./test/trefer.c
./test/tselect.c
./tools/h5debug.c
./tools/h5tols.c
	Added checks for Posix.1g types like `int8_t'.  If not defined
	then H5private.h defines them.  Changed all `int8' etc. to
	`int8_t'.

./src/H5A.c
./src/H5D.c
./src/H5F.c
./src/H5G.c
./src/H5I.c
./src/H5P.c
./src/H5R.c
./src/H5RA.c
./src/H5S.c
./src/H5T.c
./src/H5TB.c
./src/H5Z.c
	Calling H5*_term_interface() resets interface_initialize_g to
	FALSE so a subsequent call to H5open() (implied or explicit)
	reinitializes global variables properly.

./src/H5private.h
./src/H5Oefl.c
./src/H5S.c
	Changed MAX_SIZET, MAX_SSIZET, MAX_HSIZET, and MAX_HSSIZET to
	SIZET_MAX, SSIZET_MAX, HSIZET_MAX, and HSSIZE_MAX to they
	match the Posix.1 constants in <limits.h>.

./src/H5T.c
./src/H5Tconv.c
./src/H5Tpkg.h
./src/H5Tprivate.h
./src/H5detect.c
	Added 36 more integer hardware conversion functions to the
	type conversion table for conversions to/from `long long' and
	`unsigned long long'.  The `long long' names will be changed
	shortly to make them portable to Win32.

	Changed H5T_init() to H5T_native_open() and added an
	H5T_native_close() to open and close the predefined native
	data types.

	Increased the initial size of the type conversion table from
	64 to 128 entries.

	Reordered the 90 new integer conversion functions so the names
	that are printed favor `int' over `short' or `long' when two
	of them are the same.

./test/dtypes.c
	Added hardware and software integer conversion tests for the
	56 functions I added recently but not the additional 36
	checked in this time.  That will come next.

	Call H5close() after each test so type conversion statistics
	are easier to follow.  Try this: $ HDF5_DEBUG=t ./dtypes

	Added more debugging output for when things go wrong.

./src/H5private.h
	Removed trailing carriage-returns inserted by broken operating
	system ;-)

This is hdf5-1.1.28 released on Wed Nov 18 10:21:47 CST 1998
Please refer to the INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE file in this directory for information
specific to this release of the library. The INSTALL file contains
instructions on compiling and installing the library. The INSTALL_parallel
file contains instructions on installing the parallel version of the
library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory. Start with the
"index.html" in that dictectory.
Four mailing lists are currently set up for use with the HDF5
library.
hdf5 - For general discussion of the HDF5 library with
other users.
hdf5dev - For discussion of the HDF5 library development
with developers and other interested parties.
hdf5announce - For announcements of HDF5 related developments,
not a discussion list.
hdf5cvs - For checkin notices of code development on the library,
not a discussion list.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
(e.g., hdf5-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu) with "subscribe <your e-mail
address> in the _body_ of the message. Messages to be sent to
the list should be sent to "<list>@ncsa.uiuc.edu".
Nearly daily code snapshots are now being provided at the following URL:
ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/snapshots
Please read the readme file in that directory before working with a library
snapshot.
The HDF5 website is located at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/
Bugs should be reported to hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu.
