Release of HDF5 1.14.4 Library and Tools is now available from the HDF5 Releases page.
This is a maintenance release with a few changes and updates:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Added support for _Float16 16-bit floating-point datatype
Support for the 16-bit floating-point _Float16 C type has been added to
HDF5. On platforms where this type is available, this can enable more
efficient storage of floating-point data when an application doesn't
need the precision of larger floating-point datatypes. It can also allow
for improved performance when converting between 16-bit floating-point
data and data of another HDF5 datatype.
(GitHub #4065, #2154)
