Quincey Koziol 92b6e81789 [svn-r6611] Purpose:
Code cleanup/new features

Description:
    Switch over to a new style for registering filters with the library -
instead passing in an ID, a string and a callback function to H5Zregister,
the client should pass in a single pointer to a H5Z_claass_t struct which
contains the ID, the description string and all the function callbacks as
fields.
    Added support for a new "can apply" callback for each filter, which is
called when a dataset is created to check whether the parameters for that
filter apply correctly to the combination of the datatype and the chunk size
(i.e. dataspace) for the dataset.
    Added support for a new "set local" callback for each filter, which
is called when a dataset is created (after the "can apply" filter callback)
and sets filter parameters that are specific to that particular dataset.
    Switched the filters we ship over to use the new H5Z_class_t struct for
their internal registrations and also added "set local" callbacks to the
szip and shuffle filters and a "can apply" callback to the szip filter.
    Lots of other code cleanups, etc. also


Solution:

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/szip
    Linux 2.4 (sleipnir) w/szip
    Solaris 2.7 (arabica) w/FORTRAN
    IRIX64 6.5 (modi4) w/szip, FORTRAN & parallel

HDF5 version 1.5.50 currently under development
Please refer to the release_docs/INSTALL file for installation instructions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This release is almost fully functional for the entire API defined in the
documentation, see the RELEASE.txt 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.  The INSTALL* files can be found in the release_docs/ directory.

Documentation for this release is in the html directory.  Start with the
"index.html" in that directory.

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 "majordomo@ncsa.uiuc.edu",
with "subscribe <list>" in the _body_, not the Subject, of the message.
E.g., subscribe hdf5 

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.
