INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
This document describes the differences between HDF5-1.2.0 and
|
|
HDF5-1.3.x, and contains information on the platforms where HDF5-1.3.x
|
|
was tested (????? careful, under construction)
|
|
and known problems in HDF5-1.3.x. For more details check the
|
|
HISTORY file in the HDF5 source.

Bug fixes since HDF5-1.2.0
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
Library
|
|
-------
|
|
* Corrected a floating point number conversion error for the
|
|
Cray J90 platform. The error did not convert the value 0.0
|
|
correctly.
|
|
* Error was fixed which was not allowing dataset region references to have
|
|
their regions retrieved correctly.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* The hdf5.h include file was fixed to allow the HDF5 Library to be compiled
|
|
with other libraries/applications that use GNU autoconf.
|
|
* Configuration for parallel HDF5 was improved. Configure now attempts to
|
|
link with libmpi.a and/or libmpio.a as the MPI libraries by default.
|
|
It also uses "mpirun" to launch MPI tests by default. It tests to
|
|
link MPIO routines during the configuration stage, rather than failing
|
|
later as before. One can just do "./configure --enable-parallel"
|
|
if the MPI library is in the system library.
|
|
|
|
Tools
|
|
------
|
|
* h5dump correctly displays compound datatypes.
|
|
* Corrected an error in h5toh4 which did not convert the 32bits
|
|
int from HDF5 to HDF4 corectly for the T3E platform.
|
|
* h5dump correctly displays the committed copy of predefined types
|
|
correctly.
|
|
* Added an option, -V, to show the version information of h5dump.
|
|
* Fixed a core dumping bug of h5toh4 when executed on platforms like
|
|
TFLOPS.
|
|
* The test script for h5toh4 used to not able to detect the hdp
|
|
dumper command was not valid. It now detects and reports the
|
|
failure of hdp execution.
|
|
|
|
Documentation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* User's Guide and Reference Manual were updated.
|
|
See doc/html/PSandPDF/index.html for more details.
