---------------------- ./MANIFEST Added new files. ./src/H5D.c Added support for partial datatype I/O which is needed when merging struct members between file and disk. This isn't the efficient version because the merge requires an extra gather (step 1b in my pipeline diagram) that isn't turned off when it isn't needed. ./src/H5T.c ./src/H5Tpkg.h ./src/H5Tprivate.h ./src/H5Tpublic.h Conversion functions take an extra argument which is a pointer to a blob of private data that can be used by the conversion function to save anything that's expensive to compute and is constant for a particular conversion path. ./src/H5Tconv.c Compound data type conversion is beginning to work! We can handle conversions between compound types that have members which are not arrays. It also supports partial conversion so we can omit certain members of the source and not clobber extra members in the destination. ./test/Makefile.in ./test/cmpd_dset.c [NEW] Added a test case that demonstrates how to use compound data types in a dataset. The output doesn't match the output of the other test cases yet, the the entire example is more readable and written entirely with the API.
This is the 10/15/97 prototype release of the HDF5 library.
This release is not fully functional for the entire API defined in the HTML
documentation, see the RELEASE file for information specific to this release of
the library. The INSTALL file contains instructions on compiling and
installing the library.
Documentation for this release is in the html directory:
H5.apiv2.html - API interface description for HDF5 interface
H5.format.html - Format description for HDF5 files
H5.intro.html - Introduction to programming with the HDF5 interface
Three 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.
To subscribe to a list, send mail to "<list>-request@ncsa.uiuc.edu", (i.e.

the message. Messages to be sent to the list should be sent to
