+!
+! NOTES
+!   The Sun/Oracle compiler has the following restrictions on the SIZEOF intrinsic function:
+!
+!     "The SIZEOF intrinsic cannot be applied to arrays of an assumed size, characters of a 
+!      length that is passed, or subroutine calls or names. SIZEOF returns default INTEGER*4 data. 
+!      If compiling for a 64-bit environment, the compiler will issue a warning if the result overflows 
+!      the INTEGER*4 data range. To use SIZEOF in a 64-bit environment with arrays larger 
+!      than the INTEGER*4 limit (2 Gbytes), the SIZEOF function and 
+!      the variables receiving the result must be declared INTEGER*8."
+!
+!    Thus, we can not overload the H5_SIZEOF function to handle arrays (as used in tH5P_F03.f90), or
+!    characters that do not have a set length (as used in tH5P_F03.f90), sigh...

+       previous inconsistent state, consistent state with a non-default
+       action, or user semantic action that manipulated yychar.
+     - Of course, the expected token list depends on states to have
+       correct lookahead information, and it depends on the parser not
+       to perform extra reductions after fetching a lookahead from the
+       scanner and before detecting a syntax error.  Thus, state merging
+       (from LALR or IELR) and default reductions corrupt the expected
+       token list.  However, the list is correct for canonical LR with
+       one exception: it will still contain any token that will not be
+       accepted due to an error action in a later state.

+<p>This document is designed to help developers maintain 
+HDF5-based applications as they are used with successive releases
+of HDF5.
+To that end, this document lists the changes at each release that
+a maintenance developer needs to be aware of:
+<ul>
+    <li>New or changed features or tools
+    <li>Syntax and behavioral changes in the existing application 
+        programming interface (the API) 
+    <li>Certain types of changes in configuration or build processes 
+</ul></p>
+
+<p>Bugfixes and performance enhancements in the C library 
+are automatically picked up by the C++ and Fortran libraries.  
+The Java library will pick up the same bugfixes and enhancements
+at its next subsequent release as it is always built with
+the latest released version of the C library.
+
+<p>The release notes also list changes made to the library, but these 
+notes tend to be more at a more detail oriented level. The release 
+notes may include new features, bugs fixed, supported configuration 
+features, platforms on which the library has been tested, and known 
+problems. The release note files are listed below and can be found 
+at the top level of the HDF5 source code tree in the release_docs

-                    setting a 1 mebibyte (1 MiB) page aggregation size 
-                    will logically partition the the in-memory file 
-                    into 1 MiB pages that will be written out 
-                    in their entirety if even a single byte is dirtied.

+            <dd>The algoritm for writing chunk fill values for new datasets 
+                has been optimized to write out all chunk fill values 
+                collectively in a single MPI-IO call.  This was previously 
+                done independently by rank 0 (zero) one block at a time. 
+                This optimization should produce a significant performance
+                improvement when creating chunked datasets in parallel,
+                most notably when chunk dimensions are relatively small.
+                This optimization will be evident in use of the following
+                function:
                 <ul>
-                <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5R.html#Reference-GetName">
-                    <code>H5Rget_name</code></a>
-                    <br />
-                    If the <code>name</code> parameter is passed as
-                    <code>NULL</code>, then the <code>size</code>
-                    parameter is ignored and the function returns the size

-        <dir>
-            HDF5 now detects and dynamically loads external filters,
-            reducing the need for an application to register custom filters 
-            or for a developer building on HDF5 to compile a custom filter 
-            into a customized HDF5 distribution.
-            <p>

-    <h3>Configure and Build Changes</h3>
-    
-        <dir>
-            <code>configure</code> now uses the same flags and symbols 
-            in its tests as are used to build the library.
-
-            <p>
-            To build HDF5 with the Fortran 2003 interfaces requires the use of
-            two configure options:
-                <br>
-                <code>    --enable-fortran
-                <font size="+1"> </font></code>
-                <br>
-                <code>    --enable-fortran2003
-                <font size="+1"> </font></code>
-                <br>
-            Note that building the Fortran 2003 interfaces requires 
-            a Fortran 2003-capable compiler and that 
-            <code>--enable-fortran2003</code> cannot be used alone.
-
-            <p>
-            The <code>--enable-h5dump-packed-bits</code> configure option
-            has been removed.  The code that this option enabled is now 
-            always compiled into <code>h5dump</code>.
-
-            <p>
-            When building on Linux systems, the HDF5 Library now links
-            with the <code>bsd_compat</code> library.
-
-        </dir>
-
-    <h3>Parallel Library and Configuration Changes</h3>
-
-        <dir>
-            
-            The parallel HDF5 library now always compiles code to 
-            take advantage of MPI functionalities that allow for the use 
-            of complex derived datatypes during IO and that allow for
-            collective IO when one or more processes do not contribute 
-            to the operation. 
-            <p>
-            This was previously conditionally compiled into the library 
-            and controlled by <code>configure</code> via the 
-            <code>hdf5_cv_mpi_special_collective_io_works</code> and 
-            <code>hdf5_cv_mpi_complex_derived_datatype_works</code> 
-            cache values. 
-            These values were preset in the <code>config/*</code> 
-            files based on the compiler and/or system or could be set 
-            on the configure line. 
-            Support for these cache values has been removed and 
-            they no longer have an effect on the compilation of the use 
-            of these MPI functionalities.

-    <h3>New C Functions and Macros</h3>
-    
-        <dl>    
-            <dd>Three new functions enable the caching of files opened through 
-                external links.  This cache can improve the performance of 
-                external links in heavy use cases:
-                <ul>
-                    <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-SetELinkFileCacheSize">

-                </ul>
-
-                 <br>
-                Two new macros enable compile-time inclusion or exclusion
-                of code depending on the version of the HDF5 Library 
-                against which an application is to be linked:

-                </ul>
-        </dl>    
-
-
-    <h3>C Functions with Changed Capability</h3>
-    
-        <dl>    
-            <dd>HDF5 now allows the size of any dataspace dimension to be 
-                <code>0</code> (zero).  This was previously allowed
-                only if the maximum size of the dimension was unlimited.  
-                Though their signatures have not changed, the range of valid
-                parameter values is affected for the following functions:
-                <ul>
-                    <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5S.html#Dataspace-CreateSimple">
-                        <code>H5Screate_simple</code></a></li>
-                    <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5S.html#Dataspace-SetExtentSimple">
-                        <code>H5Sset_extent_simple</code></a></li>
-                    <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-SetExternal">
-                        <code>H5Pset_external</code></a></li>
-                </ul>
-                Note that no data can be written to a dataset in which 
-                the size of any dimension is set to zero.
-
-                <br> <br>
-                In the logging file driver, 
-                implementation of the following flags has been completed:
-                <code>H5FD_LOG_TIME_OPEN</code>,
-                <code>H5FD_LOG_TIME_READ</code>,

-                <br>
-                Two new flags have been added: 
-                <code>H5FD_LOG_NUM_TRUNCATE</code> and
-                <code>H5FD_LOG_TIME_STAT</code>.

-
-                 <br>
-                HDF5 now blocks committing a datatype that cannot hold
-                any data.  This currently includes
-                compound datatypes with no fields and
-                enumerated datatypes with no members.
-                <ul>
-                    <li><a href="../RM/RM_H5T.html#Datatype-Commit1">

-                        <code>H5Tcommit_anon</code></a></li>
-                </ul>
-                HDF5 has long blocked creating a dataset or attribute 
-                with such a datatype.

-    <h3>Configure and Build Changes</h3>
-    
-        <dir>
-            Configure now generates Makefiles that build in 
-            <i>silent make mode</i> by default.  
-            In this mode, compile and link lines are significantly 
-            simplified for clarity. You can opt out of this default 
-            with either of the following approaches:
-            <ul>
-                <li>Use the <code>--disable-silent-rules</code> flag at 
-                    configure time to override the default and view actual 
-                    compile and link lines during the build.</li>
-                <li>Use the <code>make</code> command with the <code>V=1</code> 
-                    option to run a verbose make. </li>
-            </ul>
-
-            <p>
-            The new configure option <code>--enable-unsupported</code> 
-            can be used to stop <code>configure</code> from preventing the 
-            use of unsupported configure option combinations.
-            For example, use of this option enables building HDF5 with the
-            <em>unsupported and untested</em> configurations of 
-            C++ in a parallel environment or
-            Fortran with a threadsafe library.

-            <dt>The following functions were added as wrappers for the

-                    has been changed to parallel that of <code>h5dump</code>.

-        <a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-GetPreserve">H5Pget_preserve</a> </pre>  
-        <p>     
-        The original role of these functions is now  
-        part of the core HDF5 Library functionality.
-        <p>     
-
-
-    <h3>Changed File Installation</h3>
-        The file <code>libhdf5_fortran.settings</code> is no longer
-        installed with the HDF5 Library;
-        the original content of that file is now included in 
-        <code>libhdf5.settings</code>.
-        <p>     
-
-
-    <h3>Changed Library Configuration</h3>
-        It is no longer necessary to manually set an SZIP library path in
-        <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code> 
-        when building HDF5 with shared SZIP libraries;
-        <code>configure</code> will determine the correct path 
-        from the <code>--with-szlib</code> flag, 
-        prepending it to and exporting <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>.
-        <p>     
-        Note that if an SZIP library path is set in a user-supplied 
-        <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>, in an existing script, for example, 
-        that does not necessarily need to be changed; 
-        <code>configure</code> will prepend the SZIP library path 
-        extracted from <code>--with-szlib</code> 
-        to the user-supplied <code>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</code>.

-<h2>Release 1.8.0 versus Release 1.6.x</h2> 
-</a>
-
-<dir>
-
-HDF5 Release 1.8.0 is a major release with several new features
-and a variety of bugfixes, optimizations, and 
-portability enhancements. 
-<p>
-See the document 
-“<a href="WhatsNew180.html">What’s New in HDF5 1.8.0</a>” 
-for a high-level overview of the new functionality in this release.
-The following pages assume a familiarity with that overview.
-<p>
-
-This section provides details of the API-level changes that have been made 
-in the transition to HDF5 Release 1.8.0 from the Release 1.6.<i>x</i> series.

-
-    <h3>API Compatibility Macros with Associated Renamed and New Functions</h3>
-	<dl>
-	  <dt>Release 1.8.0 introduces API compatibility macros
-            designed to facilitate application migration.
-            These macros are intended to facilitate developer management 
-            of a clean, step-by-step migration from an older HDF5 Library 
-            to the new release;
-            they can also be used to enable older applications to use the
-            new library without requiring that the application be rewritten.
-            See <a href="../RM/APICompatMacros.html"><cite>API Compatibility 
-            Macros in HDF5</cite></a> for a full description.
-
-            <p>
-            Macros are identified in reference manual function indexes 
-            by an <i>italic</i> typeface.
-            <p>
-            The new macros and the new and old functions to which they 
-            may be mapped are as follows:

-    <h3>Virtual File Driver Removed</h3>
-
-	The stream virtual file driver (<code>H5FD_STREAM</code>)
-        have been removed in this release.
-        This affects the functions <code>H5Pset_fapl_stream</code>
-        and <code>H5Pget_fapl_stream</code> and 
-        the constant <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>.
-        <p>
-        This virtual file driver will remain available at
-        <a href="http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/">
-        <code>http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/</code></a>.
-        Note that as of this writing, this transition is still 
-        in progress; the necessary integration tools may not be 
-        available when HDF5 Release 1.8.0 first comes out.

-            An application calling  <code>H5Eget_minor</code> from an

-            memory associated with the return value to prevent a memory leak.

-    <h3>Changed <small>ENUM</small>s</h3>
-    
-        The following enumerated datatypes used by the library 
-        are discontinued in this release:
-
-	<p>
-        <dir>
-        <dl>
-        <dt><code>H5E_major_t</code>
-                  — Major error numbers
-        <dt><code>H5E_minor_t</code>
-                  — Minor error numbers
-                <dd>HDF5 error codes have changed from the <small>ENUM</small> 
-                  format used in earlier releases to an identifier format.
-                  As <small>ENUM</small>s, error codes were constants 
-                  defined at compile time; as identifiers, error codes 
-                  are defined at runtime, in the same manner as HDF5
-                  object identifiers (file, dataset, group, etc.).
-                  <p>
-                  Under normal circumstances, this change should be transparent 
-                  to user applications.

-    <h3>Embedded HDF5 Library Settings Information</h3>
-    
-        <dl>    
-            <dd>Library settings are now embedded in an HDF5 executable 
-                so that an “orphaned” executable can be queried 
-                (via the Unix strings command, for example) to display the 
-                library settings used to build it.   
-                The embedded settings information is the same as that
-                normally found in the <code>libhdf5.settings</code> file.
-                <p>
-                This capability may be disabled with the use of the
-                <code>--disable-embedded-libin</code> flag during configure.

-            <dd><a href="../RM/RM_H5.html#Library-VersCheck">
-                <code>H5check_version</code></a> now displays
-                embedded library information (see above) 
-                if a version mismatch is detected.
-                <p>
-                The function has also been changed to suppress the 
-                warning message entirely if 
-                <code>$HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK</code> is set to 
-                <code>2</code> or higher.

-    
-        <dl>    
-          <dd>New C++ member functions are provided to 
-              determine a dataset’s or attribute’s

-            <dd><a href="../RM/Tools.html#Tools-Diff"><code>h5diff</code></a>
-                has one new option:
-                <p>
-                <code>    --use-system-epsilon</code>
-                <p>
-                With this option, <code>h5diff</code> returns a difference
-                if and only if the difference between two data values
-                exceeds the system value for epsilon
-                (that is, if <code>|a-b| > <i>epsilon</i></code>).
-                <p>
-                The tool’s default behavior has also changed; 
-                without this option, the tool now checks for strict equality.
-                <p>
-                This option has no short form.

-    <h3>API Compatibility Macros</h3>
-
-        To facilitate writing applications that work with 
-        both the HDF5 Release 1.6 series and the 1.8 series,
-        API compatibility macros analogous to those in 1.8
-        have been defined.  These macros map directly to the
-        relevant functions and typedefs.  Note that only the
-        1.6-style macros are supported in this branch.
-        <p>
-        Any program that is written using these macros
-        exculsively will work with both the 1.6 and 1.8
-        series HDF5 Libraries. The program will work without
-        having to use any special flags or definitions, as
-        long as the 1.8 library was compiled with support
-        for deprecated symbols, which is the default.
-        <p>
-        Following is a list of macros and the
-        symbols they alias:

-    <h3>Stream I/O Driver Removed</h3>
-    
-    The stream I/O driver, <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>, has been 
-    removd from and is no longer distributed with the HDF5 Library.
-    The following APIs have therefore been removed from this release.
-    <br>
-        <code>H5Pset_fapl_stream</code>
-    <br>
-        <code>H5Pget_fapl_stream</code>
-    <br>
-    The stream driver <small>ENUM</small> value <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>
-    has also been removed.
-
-    <p>
-    While the stream driver is no longer distributed by The HDF Group, 
-    it will be made available as a source code distribution from
-    <a href="http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/">
-    <code>http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/</code></a>.
-    An integration mechanism will be developed and 
-    instructions for using the driver with HDF5 
-    will be posted on that site.

-                to allow the library to indicate that the file will be closed
-                following the call to "flush".  Actions in the "flush" call
-                that are duplicated in the VFL "close" call may be omitted by
-                the VFL driver.

-    Previously, the Communicator and Info object arguments supplied
-    to <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> were stored in the property with 
-    its handle values.  
-    This meant changes to the communicator or the Info object
-    after calling <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> would affect the how 
-    the property list functioned.  
-    This was also the case when <code>H5Fopen/create</code> operated.
-    They just stored the handle value.  This is not according to the
-    MPI-2 defined behavior of how Info objects should be handled. 
-    (MPI-2 defines Info objects must be parsed when called.)<br>
-    <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> now stores a duplicate of each of 
-    the communicator and Info object.<br>
-    <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> now returns a duplicate of its 
-    stored communicator and Info object.  
-    It is now the responsibility of the applications to free
-    those objects when done.<p>
-    <code>H5Fcreate</code> and <code>H5Fopen</code> also store 
-    a duplicate of the communicator and Info
-    object supplied by the file access property List.
-    <code>H5Fclose</code> frees the duplicates.<p>
-    Advice to users: User applications should release the communicator and
-    Info object returned by <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> when they are 
-    no longer needed.

-      We recommend to use the subroutines with the new type.  Module subroutines 
-      that accept <code>dims</code> as <code>INTEGER</code> array of size <code>7</code> will be deprecated in the 1.6.0 release.

-    The HDF5 Release 1.4.2 C library is a "Bugfix Release"; 
-    there are no API changes in the underlying HDF5 Library.
-
-    <h3>Fortran90 Library</h3>
-    The following functions in the HDF5 Release 1.4.2 Fortran90 library
-    have an additional parameter, <code>dims</code>, that was not present 
-    in Release 1.4.1:
-
-<dir>
-<pre>
-<font color=red>h5aread_f</font>(attr_id, memtype_id,  buf, dims, hdferr)
-<font color=red>h5awrite_f</font>(attr_id, memtype_id,  buf, dims, hdferr)
-<font color=red>h5dread_f</font>(dset_id, mem_type_id, buf, dims, hdferr, mem_space_id, &

-    The <code>dims</code> parameter enables library portability 
-    between the UNIX and Microsoft Windows platforms.

+    
+        <dl>    
+            <dd>Library settings are now embedded in an HDF5 executable 
+                so that an “orphaned” executable can be queried 
+                (via the Unix strings command, for example) to display the 
+                library settings used to build it.   
+                The embedded settings information is the same as that
+                normally found in the <code>libhdf5.settings</code> file.
+                <p>
+                This capability may be disabled with the use of the
+                <code>--disable-embedded-libin</code> flag during configure.

+            <dd><a href="../RM/RM_H5.html#Library-VersCheck">
+                <code>H5check_version</code></a> now displays
+                embedded library information (see above) 
+                if a version mismatch is detected.
+                <p>
+                The function has also been changed to suppress the 
+                warning message entirely if 
+                <code>$HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK</code> is set to 
+                <code>2</code> or higher.

+                has one new option:
+                <p>
+                <code>    --use-system-epsilon</code>
+                <p>
+                With this option, <code>h5diff</code> returns a difference
+                if and only if the difference between two data values
+                exceeds the system value for epsilon
+                (that is, if <code>|a-b| > <i>epsilon</i></code>).
+                <p>
+                The tool’s default behavior has also changed; 
+                without this option, the tool now checks for strict equality.
+                <p>
+                This option has no short form.

+
+This section lists API-level changes and changes in behavior 
+in the transition from HDF5 Release 1.6.8 to Release 1.6.9.
+
+
+    <h3>API Compatibility Macros</h3>
+
+        To facilitate writing applications that work with 
+        both the HDF5 Release 1.6 series and the 1.8 series,
+        API compatibility macros analogous to those in 1.8
+        have been defined.  These macros map directly to the
+        relevant functions and typedefs.  Note that only the
+        1.6-style macros are supported in this branch.
+        <p>
+        Any program that is written using these macros
+        exculsively will work with both the 1.6 and 1.8
+        series HDF5 Libraries. The program will work without
+        having to use any special flags or definitions, as
+        long as the 1.8 library was compiled with support
+        for deprecated symbols, which is the default.
+        <p>
+        Following is a list of macros and the
+        symbols they alias:

+    
+    The stream I/O driver, <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>, has been

+    The following APIs have therefore been removed from this release.
+    <br>
+        <code>H5Pset_fapl_stream</code>
+    <br>
+        <code>H5Pget_fapl_stream</code>
+    <br>
+    The stream driver <small>ENUM</small> value <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>
+    has also been removed.
+
+    <p>
+    While the stream driver is no longer distributed by The HDF Group, 
+    it will be made available as a source code distribution from
+    <a href="http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/">
+    <code>http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/</code></a>.
+    An integration mechanism will be developed and 
+    instructions for using the driver with HDF5 
+    will be posted on that site.

+        The following functions are deprecated in HDF5 Release 1.6.0.
+        A backward compatibility mode is provided in this release,
+        enabling these functions and other Release 1.4.x compatibility
+        features, but is available only when the HDF5 Library is 
+        configured with the flag <code>H5_WANT_H5_V1_4_COMPAT</code>.
+        The backward compatibility mode is not enabled in the 
+        binaries distributed by NCSA.

-This section lists API-level changes and changes in behavior 
-in the transition from HDF5 Release 1.6.8 to Release 1.6.9.
-
-
-    <h3>API Compatibility Macros</h3>
-
-        To facilitate writing applications that work with 
-        both the HDF5 Release 1.6 series and the 1.8 series,
-        API compatibility macros analogous to those in 1.8
-        have been defined.  These macros map directly to the
-        relevant functions and typedefs.  Note that only the
-        1.6-style macros are supported in this branch.
-        <p>
-        Any program that is written using these macros
-        exculsively will work with both the 1.6 and 1.8
-        series HDF5 Libraries. The program will work without
-        having to use any special flags or definitions, as
-        long as the 1.8 library was compiled with support
-        for deprecated symbols, which is the default.
-        <p>
-        Following is a list of macros and the
-        symbols they alias:

-        Note that for the 1.6 series, the numbered symbols are macros, 
-        while in the 1.8 series, the non-numbered symbols are
-        macros.  This was done because there is no need to
-        switch between different API versions in the 1.6 series.
-        <p>
-        <code>H5Z_class1_t</code> was introduced in Release 1.6.9 while all the
-        others were introduced in Release 1.6.8.  For more information see

-                <dd>The default behavior of <code>h5diff</code> is now
-                    to detect and compare NaNs.  
-                    Use the <code>-N</code> or <code>--nan</code>
-                    option (below) to turn this behavior off and
-                    avoid the performance penalty that NaN detection 
-                    and comparison entalis.
-                    (NaN detection and comparison became the default in 
-                    in HDF5 Release 1.6.8.)

-        <pre>        <a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-SetPreserve">H5Pset_preserve</a>
-        <a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html#Property-GetPreserve">H5Pget_preserve</a> </pre>
-        <p>
-        The original role of these functions is now 
-        part of the core HDF5 Library functionality.
-        <p>
-
-
-    <h3>Changed File Installation</h3>
-        The file <code>libhdf5_fortran.settings</code> is no longer
-        installed with the HDF5 Library;
-        the original content of that file is now included in

-This section lists the API-level changes that have been made in the 
-transition from the HDF5 Release 1.6.6 to Release 1.6.7.
-As this is primarily a bug-fix release, 
-the only interface changes are one changed function signature and
-the changes related to the removal of the 
-stream I/O driver, as outlined below.
-
-
-    <h3>Function with Changed Syntax</h3>
-
-        The following function syntax has changed;
-        the affected parameter is noted in <font color=red>red</font>.

-
-    <h3>Stream I/O Driver Removed</h3>
-    
-    The stream I/O driver, <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>, has been 
-    removd from and is no longer distributed with the HDF5 Library.
-    The following APIs have therefore been removed from this release.
-    <br>
-        <code>H5Pset_fapl_stream</code>
-    <br>
-        <code>H5Pget_fapl_stream</code>
-    <br>
-    The stream driver <small>ENUM</small> value <code>H5FD_STREAM</code>
-    has also been removed.
-
-    <p>
-    While the stream driver is no longer distributed by The HDF Group, 
-    it will be made available as a source code distribution from
-    <a href="http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/">
-    <code>http://hdf5-addons.origo.ethz.ch/</code></a>.
-    An integration mechanism will be developed and 
-    instructions for using the driver with HDF5 
-    will be posted on that site.

-          <dd>The <code>H5G_stat_t</code> struct contains two new fields.<br>
-              This change will be transparent to existing applications, 
-              though those calling <code>H5Gget_obj_info</code> will have 
-              to be recompiled before linking with the updated library.

-              <code><em>INTEGER</em></code> to <code><em>INTEGER(SIZE_T)</em></code>

-    Previously, the Communicator and Info object arguments supplied
-    to <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> were stored in the property with 
-    its handle values.  
-    This meant changes to the communicator or the Info object
-    after calling <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> would affect the how 
-    the property list functioned.  
-    This was also the case when <code>H5Fopen/create</code> operated.
-    They just stored the handle value.  This is not according to the
-    MPI-2 defined behavior of how Info objects should be handled. 
-    (MPI-2 defines Info objects must be parsed when called.)<br>
-    <code>H5Pset_fapl_mpio</code> now stores a duplicate of each of 
-    the communicator and Info object.<br>
-    <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> now returns a duplicate of its 
-    stored communicator and Info object.  
-    It is now the responsibility of the applications to free
-    those objects when done.<p>
-    <code>H5Fcreate</code> and <code>H5Fopen</code> also store 
-    a duplicate of the communicator and Info
-    object supplied by the file access property List.
-    <code>H5Fclose</code> frees the duplicates.<p>
-    Advice to users: User applications should release the communicator and
-    Info object returned by <code>H5Pget_fapl_mpio</code> when they are 
-    no longer needed.

+  <dt><strong>Motivation:</strong></dt>
+    <dd>
+      Setting raw data chunk cache parameters can be done with 
+      <code>H5Pset_cache</code>, <code>H5Pset_chunk_cache</code>, or 
+      a combination of both. <code>H5Pset_cache</code> is used to adjust 
+      the chunk cache parameters for all datasets via a global setting for 
+      the file, and <code>H5Pset_chunk_cache</code> is used to adjust 
+      the chunk cache parameters for individual datasets. When both are 
+      used, parameters set with <code>H5Pset_chunk_cache</code> 
+      will override any parameters set with <code>H5Pset_cache</code>. 
+      
+      <p>Optimum chunk cache parameters may vary widely depending on 
+      different data layout and access patterns. For datasets with low 
+      performance requirements for example, changing the cache settings 
+      can save memory. </dd>
+  
+  <dt><strong>Description:</strong></dt>
     <dd><code>H5Pset_cache</code> sets 
         the number of elements, the total number of bytes, and 
-        the preemption policy value in the raw data chunk cache.

         <p>
-        The number of elements (objects) in the raw data chunk cache 
-        is <em>rdcc_nelmts</em>.
-        The total size of the raw data chunk cache and the preemption policy 
-        are <em>rdcc_nbytes</em> and <em>rdcc_w0</em>, respectively.  
+        The raw data chunk cache inserts chunks into the cache by first 
+        computing a hash value using the address of a chunk and then by 
+        using that hash value as the chunk’s index into the table 
+        of cached chunks. In other words, the size of this hash table 
+        and the number of possible hash values is determined by the 
+        <code>rdcc_nslots</code> parameter. If a different chunk in the 
+        cache has the same hash value, a collision will occur, which will 
+        reduce efficiency. If inserting the chunk into the cache would 
+        cause the cache to be too big, then the cache will be pruned 
+        according to the <code>rdcc_w0</code> parameter. </p>

+<dt><strong>Usage Notes:</strong>
+    <dd>The chunk cache size is a property for accessing a dataset and 
+    is not stored with a dataset or a file. To guarantee 
+    the same chunk cache settings each time <code>H5Dopen</code> is 
+    called, call <code>H5Dopen</code> with a dataset 
+    access property list (<code>H5Dopen(<em>hid_t</em> loc_id, 
+    <em>const char</em> *name, <em>hid_t</em> dapl_id))</code> where 
+    the chunk cache size is set by calling <code>H5Pset_chunk_cache</code> 
+    for that property list. The property list can be used for multiple 
+    accesses in the same application. <br /><br />
+    
+    For files where the same chunk cache size will be appropriate for 
+    all or most datasets, <code>H5Pset_cache</code> can be called with 
+    a file access property list to set the chunk cache size for accessing 
+    all datasets in the file. <br /><br />
+    
+    Both methods can be used in combination, in which case the chunk cache 
+    size set by <code>H5Pset_cache</code> will apply except for specific 
+    datasets where <code>H5Dopen</code> is called with dataset property 
+    list with the chunk cache size set by <code>H5Pset_chunk_cache</code>.
+    <br /><br />
+    In the absence of any cache settings, <code>H5Dopen</code> will by 
+    default create a 1 MB chunk cache for the opened dataset. If this 
+    size happens to be appropriate, no call will be needed to either 
+    function to set the chunk cache size.<br /><br />
+    
+    It is also possible that a change in access pattern for later access 
+    to a dataset will change the appropriate chunk cache size. For more 
+    detailed information on chunks, chunk caching, and performance 
+    pitfalls, see

-    <dd>When a file is created or opened for writing using the Core

-    the VFD can be configured to track changes to the file and only 
-    write out the modified bytes. To avoid a large number of small 
-    writes, the changes can be aggregated into pages of a user-specified 
-    size. The Core VFD is also known as the Memory VFD. The driver 
-    identifier is <code>H5FD_CORE</code>.
-    
-    <p>Setting the <code>page_size</code> parameter to zero will turn 
-    off tracking and cause the entire file to be written out to storage 
-    when closed.</p>
-    
-    <p>Setting the <code>page_size</code> parameter to 1 will enable 
-    tracking but with no paging.</p></dd>

+    a property list is a collection of properties, 
+    represented by name/value pairs that can be
     passed to various HDF5 functions, usually modifying default settings.  
-    Certain kinds of property lists can be created by one application 
-    and used by an application that later operates on the same file.
-    A property list may contain separate values for each of several
-    properties, or characteristics, of an object; 
-    without property lists, each of these values would have to be 
-    passed to each function as a separate parameter.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    For instance, a file creation operation needs to know several
-    things about a file, such as the size of the user-block at the 
-    beginning of the file, or the sizes of various file data structures.  
-    Bundling this information in a property list simplifies the 
-    interface by reducing the number of parameters to the function
-    <code>H5Fcreate</code>.

-    One can think of the basic HDF5 property list classes as templates
-    for building the property lists that you will use in an
-    application.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    HDF5 property lists and the property list interface 
-    (<a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html">H5P</a>) provide a mechanism for
-    storing characteristics of objects in an HDF5 file and economically 
-    passing them around in an HDF5 application.  
-    In this capacity, property lists significantly reduce 
-    the burden of additional function parameters in the rest of 
-    the HDF5 application programming interface (the HDF5 API).
-    Another advantage of  property lists is that features can often 
-    be added to HDF5 by adding only property list functions to the API; 
-    all other requirements of the feature can be accomplished internally 
-    to the library.

     </p>
     <p>
-    A <i>property list class</i> defines the roles that property lists 
-    of that class can play.
-    This is accomplished by means of a property list template that 
-    includes all properties that are valid in that class.
-    In that template, each property is set to its default value.
-    </p>
-    <p>
-    A <i>property list</i> is a collection of related properties 
-    that are used together in specific circumstances.  
-    A new property list created from a property list class inherits 
-    the properties of the property list class 
-    and each property’s default value.  
-    A fresh dataset creation property list, for example, 
-    includes HDF5 properties relevant to the creation of a new dataset.  
+    HDF5 property lists and the property list interface 
+    (<a href="../RM/RM_H5P.html">H5P</a>) provide a mechanism for
+    storing characteristics of objects in an HDF5 file and economically 
+    passing them around in an HDF5 application.  
+    In this capacity, property lists significantly reduce the burden of 
+    additional function parameters throughout the HDF5 API.
+    Another advantage of  property lists is that features can often 
+    be added to HDF5 by adding only property list functions to the API; 
+    this is particularly true when all other requirements of the feature 
+    can be accomplished internally to the library.
     </p>
     <p>
-    The preset default property values are intended to be reasonable 
-    for general use cases, so an application can often use the 
-    property list without further modification.
-    On the other hand, adjusting these settings is a routine action
-    as there are many reasons for an application to do so.
+    For instance, a file creation operation needs to know several
+    things about a file, such as the size of the user-block 
+    or the sizes of various file data structures.  
+    Bundling this information as a property list simplifies the 
+    interface by reducing the number of parameters to the function
+    <code>H5Fcreate</code>.
     </p>
     <p>
-    A <i>property</i> is the basic element of the property list hierarchy
-    (the <i>atomic</i> element, if you will).  Properties control things 
-    like access rights to a file, the storage layout of a dataset, or
-    whether missing intervening groups will be automatically created 
-    when a new object is created. 
+    As illustrated in <a href="#PListEcosystem">the figure above</a>,

+    A <i>property list</i> is a collection of related properties 
+    that are used together in specific circumstances.  
+    A new property list created from a property list class inherits 
+    the properties of the property list class 
+    and each property’s default value.

-    When a property list is created, it contains all of the properties

-    with each property set to its default value.
+    Property lists are implemented as containers holding a collection of 
+    name/value pairs.  
+    Each pair specifies a property name and a value for the property.
+    A property list usually contains information for one to many properties.
     </p>
     <p>
-    An HDF5 property list is a mechanism for passing values into 
-    HDF5 Library calls. Property lists were created to allow HDF5 calls 
-    to be extended with the equivalent of new parameters without changing 
-    the actual API or breaking existing code. 
-    The <i>call by value</i> nature of property lists means that
-    property lists can be copied, reused, and discarded with ease.  
+    HDF5’s default property values are designed to be 
+    reasonable for general use cases. Therefore, an application can 
+    often use a property list without modification.
+    On the other hand, adjusting property list settings is a routine action
+    and there are many reasons for an application to do so.
     </p>
     <p>
-    Property lists can also be freely reused to create consistency.
+    A new property list may either be derived from a property list class

+    it contains all the properties that are relevant to the class,

+    A new property list created by copying an existing property list
+    will contain the same properties and property values as the

+New Features
+============
+
+    Configuration
+    -------------
+    - Autotools: Automake updated to 1.14.1 (ADB - 2014/04/08)
+
+    - CMake: Moved minimum CMake version to 2.8.11 which enables better library
+      include processing. (ADB - 2014/03/26)
+    
+    - When configuring a thread-safe HDF5 Library it is no longer necessary 
+      to specify --enable-threadsafe with --with-pthreads if the Pthreads 
+      library is in a standard location.  (DER - 2014/04/11 HDFFV-8693)
+
+    Library
+    -------
+    - Added an H5free_memory API call. This should be used to free memory 
+      that has been allocated by HDF5 API calls. H5Tget_member_name and 
+      H5Pget_class_name are two examples. The main motivation for this call 
+      is Windows, where it is common for application code and the HDF5 Library 
+      to be using different C run-time libraries (CRT). Using the new call 
+      ensures that the same CRT handles both the allocation and free. This 
+      new function can also be useful in any case where the library uses a 
+      different memory manager than the application, such as when a debug 
+      memory manager is in use or when the HDF5 Library is wrapped for use 
+      in a managed language like Python or Java. Fixes HDFFV-7710, 8519, 
+      and 8851. (DER - 2014/04/11)
+
+    - The Core VFD (aka Memory VFD) can now be configured to track dirty 
+      regions in the file and only write out the changed regions on 
+      flush/close. Additionally, a "page aggregation" size can be set that 
+      will aggregate small writes into larger writes. For example, setting 
+      a 1 MiB page aggregation size will logically partition the the 
+      in-memory file into 1 MiB pages that will be written out in their 
+      entirety if even a single byte is dirtied. The feature is controlled 
+      via the new H5Pset/get_core_write_tracking() API call. A new 
+      "core_paged" target has been added to the check-vfd target in 
+      test/Makefile.am that exercises the feature over all HDF5 VFD-aware
+      tests. (DER - 2014/04/12)
+ 
+    Parallel Library
+    ----------------
+    - Removed MPI-POSIX VFD, as it wasn't helping anyone and was just
+      generating support questions. Application developers performing
+      parallel I/O should always use the MPI-IO VFD.
+     (QAK - 2014/03/28 HDFFV-8659)
+
+    - Improved parallel I/O support to allow collective I/O on point
+      selections. (QAK - 2014/03/15)
+ 
+    Tools
+    -----
+    - None
+
+    High-Level APIs
+    ---------------
+    - None
+
+    Fortran API
+    -----------
+    - Wrappers h5pset_file_image_f and h5pget_file_image_f were added to the 
+      library. (MSB - 2014/1/2014)
+
+    C++ API
+    -------
+    - The following new features are added:
+      + Wrappers to class H5Object to get an object's name (HDFFV-8548).
+            ssize_t getObjName(char *obj_name, size_t buf_size = 0)
+            ssize_t getObjName(H5std_string& obj_name, size_t len = 0)
+            H5std_string getObjName()
+      + Wrappers to class H5CommonFG to get a child object's type from a
+        group or file (HDFFV-8367).
+            H5O_type_t childObjType(const H5std_string& objname)
+            H5O_type_t childObjType(const char* objname)
+            H5O_type_t childObjType(hsize_t index,
+                H5_index_t index_type=H5_INDEX_NAME,
+                H5_iter_order_t order=H5_ITER_INC, const char* objname=".")
+      + Wrappers to class DSetMemXferPropList for setting/getting a transform 
+        property list (HDFFV-7907).
+            DSetMemXferPropList(const char* expression);
+            void setDataTransform(const char* expression)
+            void setDataTransform(const H5std_string& expression)
+            ssize_t getDataTransform(char* exp, size_t buf_size=0)
+            H5std_string getDataTransform()
+      + Wrapper to CompType for setting size to compound datatype (HDFFV-8642).
+            void setSize(size_t size)
+      + Overloaded functions to provide prototypes that declare constant 
+        arguments const (HDFFV-3384).  These include:
+            DataSet::fillMemBuf
+            DataSet::getVlenBufSize
+            DataSpace::extentCopy
+            DataType::commit
+            FileAccPropList::setSplit
+            H5File::getVFDHandle
+      + Additional overload to class H5Location to get a comment as a char*
+            ssize_t getComment(const char* name, size_t buf_size, char* comment)
+      + Additional overloads to class Attribute to get an attribute's name for
+        convenience:
+            ssize_t getName(char* attr_name, size_t buf_size=0)
+            ssize_t getName(H5std_string& attr_name, size_t buf_size=0)
+            (BMR, 2014/04/15)
+      + A static wrapper to Exception for printing the error stack without an 
+	instance of Exception
+	    static void printErrorStack(FILE* stream = stderr,
+						hid_t err_stack = H5E_DEFAULT);
+	    (BMR, 2014/04/25)
+
+
+Support for New Platforms, Languages, and Compilers
+===================================================
+    Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is not supported by Apple any more. In view of
+    the added support of Mac OS X 10.9, Mac OS X 10.6 is retired from HDF5
+    supported platforms. (AKC - 2014/03/14 HDFFV-8704)
+
+    Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks is supported. (AKC - 2014/03/04 HDFFV-8694)
+                                  
+
+Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.12
+===========================
+
+    Configuration
+    -------------
+    - CMake: When CMake commands are executed individually on the command line
+      and the external filters are being built, the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE define
+      must be set to the same value as the configuration
+      (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release if using -C Release). This is needed 
+      by the the szip and zlib filter build commands. (ADB - HDFFV-8695)
+
+    - CMake: Removed use of the XLATE_UTILITY program. 
+      (ADB - 2014/03/28 HDFFV-8640)
+
+    - CMake: Added missing quotes in setting the CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS for the
+      MPI option. (ADB - 2014/02/27 HDFFV-8674)
+
+    - CMake: Configuration of the HDF5 C++ or Fortran libraries with the 
+      thread-safety feature.
+
+      C++ and/or Fortran + thread-safe is enforced as a non-supported
+      configuration. This matches the autotools. (DER - 2014/04/11)
+
+    - CMake: Configuration of static HDF5 C library with the thread-safety
+      feature. 
+
+      Static + thread-safe + Win32 threads is not a supported configuration
+      due to the inability to automatically clean up thread-local storage. 
+      This is expected to be fixed in a future release. In the meantime, a 
+      work-around that uses internal functionality may allow the combination 
+      to be used without resource leaks. Contact the help desk for more 
+      information. (DER - 2014/04/11)
+
+    - Autotools: Several changes were done to configure and installcheck. 
+
+      An export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<szip library location> was
+      removed from configure; make installcheck was revised to run
+      scripts installed in share/hdf5_examples to use the installed h5cc, etc. 
+      to compile and run example source files also installed there. 
+
+      Make installcheck will now fail when a shared szip or other external lib 
+      file cannot be found in the same manner that executables compiled and 
+      linked with h5cc will fail to run when those lib files cannot be found 
+      after install. Make installcheck should pass after setting 
+      LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the szip location. (LRK - 2014/04/16)
+
+    Library
+    -------
+    - A Gnu Make directive (.NOTPARALLEL) is added to fortran/test/Makefile.
+
+      AIX native make does not support this directive and would fail if
+      parallel make (e.g. make -j4) is used to build the library. AIX users
+      either do not use parallel make or install Gnu Make to build the library.
+      (AKC 2014/04/08 HDFFV-8738)
+
+    - H5R.c: H5Rget_name gave an assertion failure if the "name" parameter 
+      was NULL.
+
+      Fixed H5Rget_name to return the size of the buffer needed to read a
+      name of the referenced object in this case. The size doesn't include 
+      the NULL terminator. H5Rget_name returns negative on failure. 
+      (MSB - 2014/01/22 HDFFV-8620)
+
+    - H5Z.c: H5Zfilter_avail didn't check if a filter was available as a
+      dynamically loaded filter. The error manifested itself in the h5repack
+      tool when removing user-defined dynamically loaded filter.
+
+      Added a code to find the filter among the dynamically loaded filters 
+      after the function fails to find it among the registered filters. 
+      (ADB - 2014/03/03 HDFFV-8629)
+
+    - Memory leak: a memory leak was observed in conjunction to the 
+      H5TS_errstk_key_g thread-local variable allocated in the H5E_get_stack 
+      function in H5E.c. 
+
+      The shared HDF5 thread-safe library now no longer leaks thread-local 
+      storage resources on Windows with Win32 threads. Currently, there is 
+      no solution for this problem when HDF5 is statically built. We 
+      disabled the build of the static HDF5 thread-safe library with 
+      Win32 threads. (DER - 2014/04/11 HDFFV-8518)
+
+    - H5Dio.c: Improved handling of NULL pointers to H5Dread/H5Dwrite 
+      calls. Credit to Jason Newton (nevion at gmail.com) for the original patch.
+
+      H5Dwrite/read failed when a NULL pointer was passed for a data buffer 
+      and 0 elements were selected. Fixed. (QAK - 2014/04/16 HDFFV-8705)
+
+    - Deprecated API (1_6 API): Improved handling of closing the library and
+      re-accessing it with a deprecated routine.
+
+      When a program used a deprecated API (for example, H5Gcreate1), 
+      closed the library, and reopened it again to access a group, dataset, 
+      datatype, dataspace, attribute, or property list, HDF5 failed to 
+      provide an identifier for the object. Fixed.
+      (NAF, QAK - 2014/04/16 HDFFV-8232)
+
+    Parallel Library
+    ----------------
+    - Fixed a missing H5F_Provisional module in HDF5mpio.f90 
+      (MSB - 2014/2/7 HDFFV-8651)
+
+    Performance
+    -------------
+    - None
+
+    Tools
+    -----
+    - The h5diff tool would report that a datafile compared with an exact
+      copy of the same datafile had differences. This was due to the issue
+      below of reading un-written chunks. This problem is also fixed.
+      (AKC - 2014/05/01 HDFFV-8637)
+
+    - The h5dump and h5diff utilities occasionally produced different output
+      between Linux and Windows systems. This has been fixed.
+ 
+      This happened to datasets that used chunked storage, with default fill 
+      values, and some of the chunks had not been written. 
+      When the dataset was read, the library failed to write the default fill 
+      values to parts of the use buffer that were associated with the unwritten 
+      chunks.  (JP - 2014/05/01 HDFFV-8247)
+
+    - The compress option is retired from bin/release.
+      (AKC - 2014/04/25 HDFFV-8755)
+
+    - bin/release has a new option "zip" that produces a release zip file for
+      the Windows platform. (AKC - 2014/04/24 HDFFV-8433)
+
+    - h5diff: Several failures relating to handling of strings attributes 
+      are fixed. 
+
+      The tool crashed or gave an error message when one of the strings had
+      fixed size type and another variable-length size type. h5diff now flags such
+      strings as "not comparable". We plan to enhance the tool to handle
+      strings of the different types in the future releases.
+      (AKC - 2014/04/18 HDFFV-8625, 8639, 8745)
+
+    - h5repack: h5repack would not remove user-defined filters.
+      Fixed by modifying h5repack to check if the filter is registered or 
+      can be dynamically loaded. (ADB - 2014/03/03 HDFFV-8629)
+
+    F90 API
+    -------
+    - H5D_CHUNK_CACHE_NSLOTS_DFLT_F and H5D_CHUNK_CACHE_NBYTES_DFLT_F were 
+      changed from the default KIND for INTEGER to INTEGER of KIND size_t. 
+      (MSB - 2014/3/31 HDFFV-8689)
+
+    C++ API
+    ------
+    - Added throw() to all exception destructors.  Credit to Jason Newton
+      (nevion at gmail.com) for the patch.  (BMR - 2014/4/15 HDFFV-8623)
+    - Changed the default value for H5Location::getComment from 256 to 0
+      to conform to C function and because it makes more sense.
+      (BMR - 2014/4/15)
+
+    High-Level APIs:
+    ------
+    - None
+
+    Fortran High-Level APIs:
+    ------
+    - None
+
+    Testing
+    -------
+    - testhdf5 now exits with EXIT_SUCCESS(0) if no errors, else 
+      EXIT_FAILURE(1). (AKC - 2014/01/27 HDFFV-8572)
+
+    - The big test now pays attention to the HDF5_DRIVER environment variable.
+      Previously, it would run all tests with the family, stdio, and sec2
+      virtual file drivers (VFDs) for each VFD in the check-vfd make target, 
+      regardless of the variable setting. It now checks the variable and 
+      either runs the appropriate VFD-specific tests or skips as needed. 
+      This saves much testing time. Fixes HDFFV-8554. (DER - 2014/04/11)

+
+Known Problems
+==============
+* When reading or writing a dataset (H5Dread/H5Dwrite) with a large selection
+  size (e.g., 2GB ~= 500 million of 4 bytes integers or floating point
+  numbers), some I/O systems may not be able to process it correctly.
+  We advise users to find out system limits before using large selections. If
+  I/O size limits exist, application should use HDF5 partial I/O capabilities
+  (e.g., H5Sselect_hyperslab(...)) to divide large requests into smaller sizes.
+  In this case we also advise users not to use chunk storage sizes larger that
+  2GB since the HDF5 library performs I/O on the entire chunk.  We will work
+  on the HDF5 library to divide large data requests to smaller I/O requests.
+  (AKC 2014/05/02 HDFFV-8479)
+
+* Due to an Intel compiler bug introduced in version 14.0.1, the HDF5 FORTRAN
+  wrappers do not work with configure option --enable-fortran2003. 
+  However, the option --enable-fortran works with Intel 14.0.1. The compiler 
+  bug was fixed in Intel version 14.0.2 and resolved the issue. 
+  (MSB - 2014/4/15)
+
+* Due to a PGI compiler bug introduced in versions before 13.3 and versions 
+  after 14.2, the FORTRAN test 'Testing get file image' will fail. 
+  (MSB - 2014/4/15)
+
+* On CYGWIN, when building the library dynamically, testing will fail on 
+  dynamically loaded filters. The test process will build dynamic filter 
+  libraries with the *.dll.a extension, and the HDF5 Library will be looking 
+  for *.so libraries. Entered as issue HDFFV-8736. (ADB - 2014/04/14)
+  
+* A Gnu Make directive (.NOTPARALLEL) is added to fortran/test/Makefile.
+  AIX native make does not support this directive and would fail if
+  parallel make (e.g. make -j4) is used to build the library. AIX users
+  either do not use parallel make or install Gnu Make to build the library.
+  (AKC 2014/04/08 HDFFV-8738)
+
+* CLANG compiler with the options -fcatch-undefined-behavior and -ftrapv
+  catches some undefined behavior in the alignment algorithm of the macro
+  DETECT_I in H5detect.c. Since the algorithm is trying to detect the alignment
+  of integers, ideally the flag -fcatch-undefined-behavior should not to be
+  used for H5detect.c. In the future, we can separate flags for H5detect.c
+  from the rest of the library.  (SLU - 2013/10/16 HDFFV-8147)
+
+* Make provided by Solaris fails in "make check". Solaris users should use
+  gmake to build and install the HDF5 software. (AKC - 2013/10/08 - HDFFV-8534)
+
+* On OpenVMS, two soft conversion functions (H5T__conv_i_f and H5T__conv_f_i)
+  have bugs.  They convert data between floating-point numbers and integers.
+  But the library's default is hard conversion.  The user should avoid
+  explicitly enabling soft conversion between floating-point numbers and
+  integers. (Issue VMS-8; SLU - 2013/09/19)
+
+* On OpenVMS, ZLIB 1.2.8 library doesn't work properly.  ZLIB 1.2.5 works
+  fine.  So please use ZLIB 1.2.5 to build HDF5 library. (Issue VMS-5;
+  SLU 2013/09/19)  
+
+* When building using the Cray compilers on Cray machines, HDF5
+  configure mistakenly thinks the compiler is an intel compiler and
+  sets the -std=c99 flag which breaks configure on Cray. To build HDF5
+  properly on a Cray machine, please consult with the instructions in
+  INSTALL_parallel for building on Hopper.
+  (MSC - 2013/04/26 - HDFFV-8429)
+
+* The 5.9 C++ compiler on Sun failed to compile a C++ test ttypes.cpp.  It 
+  complains with this message:
+      "/home/hdf5/src/H5Vprivate.h", line 130: Error: __func__ is not defined.
+  
+  The reason is that __func__ is a predefined identifier in C99 standard.  The
+  HDF5 C library uses it in H5private.h.  The test ttypes.cpp includes 
+  H5private.h (H5Tpkg.h<-H5Fprivate.h<-H5Vprivate.h<-H5private.h).  Sun's 5.9
+  C++ compiler doesn't support __func__, thus fails to compile the C++ test.
+  But Sun's 5.11 C++ compiler does.  To check whether your Sun C++ compiler 
+  knows this identifier, try to compile the following simple C++ program:
+      #include<stdio.h>
+
+      int main(void)
+      {
+          printf("%s\n", __func__);
+          return 0;
+      }
+  (SLU - 2012/11/5)
+
+* The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD with the
+  native release 8.2 compilers (4.2.1), but are working with gcc 4.6 from the
+  ports (and probably gcc releases after that).
+  (QAK - 2012/10/19)
+
+* The following h5dump test case fails in BG/P machines (and potentially other
+  machines that use a command script to launch executables):
+
+   h5dump --no-compact-subset -d "AHFINDERDIRECT::ah_centroid_t[0] it=0 tl=0"
+     tno-subset.h5
+  
+  This is due to the embedded spaces in the dataset name being interpreted
+  by the command script launcher as meta-characters, thus passing three
+  arguments to h5dump's -d flag. The command passes if run by hand, just
+  not via the test script.
+  (AKC - 2012/05/03)
+
+* On hopper, the build failed when RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL are set
+  to aprun -np X, because the H5lib_settings.c file was not generated
+  properly. Not setting those environment variables works, because
+  configure was able to automatically detect that it's a Cray system
+  and used the proper launch commands when necessary. 
+  (MSC - 2012/04/18)
+
+* The data conversion test dt_arith.c fails in "long double" to integer
+  conversion on Ubuntu 11.10 (3.0.0.13 kernel) with GCC 4.6.1 if the library
+  is built with optimization -O3 or -O2.  The older GCC (4.5) or newer kernal
+  (3.2.2 on Fedora) doesn't have the problem.  Users should lower the 
+  optimization level (-O1 or -O0) by defining CFLAGS in the command line of 
+  "configure" like:
+
+      CFLAGS=-O1 ./configure
+
+  This will overwrite the library's default optimization level.
+  (SLU - 2012/02/07 - HDFFV-7829)
+  This issue is no longer present on Ubuntu 12.10 (3.5.0 kernel) with 
+  gcc 4.7.2.
+
+* The STDIO VFD does not work on some architectures, possibly due to 32/64
+  bit or large file issues.  The basic STDIO VFD test is known to fail on
+  64-bit SunOS 5.10 on SPARC when built with -m64 and 32-bit OS X/Darwin
+  10.7.0.  The STDIO VFD test has been disabled while we investigate and
+  a fix should appear in a future release.
+  (DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-8235)
+
+* h5diff can report inconsistent results when comparing datasets of enum type
+  that contain invalid values.  This is due to how enum types are handled in
+  the library and will be addressed in a future release.
+  (DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-7527)
+
+* The links test can fail under the stdio VFD due to some issues with external
+  links.  This will be investigated and fixed in a future release.
+  (DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-7768)
+
+* After the shared library support was fixed for some bugs, it was discovered
+  that "make prefix=XXX install" no longer works for shared libraries. It
+  still works correctly for static libraries. Therefore, if you want to
+  install the HDF5 shared libraries in a location such as /usr/local/hdf5,
+  you need to specify the location via the --prefix option during configure 
+  time. E.g, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 ...
+  (AKC - 2011/05/07 - HDFFV-7583)
+
+* The parallel test, t_shapesame, in testpar/, may run for a long time and may
+  be terminated by the alarm signal.  If that happens, one can increase the
+  alarm seconds (default is 1200 seconds = 20 minutes) by setting the
+  environment variable, $HDF5_ALARM_SECONDS, to a larger value such as 3600
+  (60 minutes).  Note that the t_shapesame test may fail in some systems 
+  (see the "While working on the 1.8.6 release..." problem below).  If 
+  it does, it will waste more time if $HDF5_ALARM_SECONDS is set
+  to a larger value.
+  (AKC - 2011/05/07)
+
+* The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD.
+  (QAK - 2011/04/26)
+
+* Shared Fortran libraries are not quite working on AIX. While they are
+  generated when --enable-shared is specified, the fortran and hl/fortran
+  tests fail. We are looking into the issue. HL and C++ shared libraries
+  should now be working as intended, however.
+  (MAM - 2011/04/20)
+
+* The --with-mpe configure option does not work with Mpich2.
+  (AKC - 2011/03/10)
+
+* While working on the 1.8.6 release of HDF5, a bug was discovered that can
+  occur when reading from a dataset in parallel shortly after it has been
+  written to collectively. The issue was exposed by a new test in the parallel
+  HDF5 test suite, but had existed before that. We believe the problem lies with
+  certain MPI implementations and/or file systems.
+
+  We have provided a pure MPI test program, as well as a standalone HDF5
+  program, that can be used to determine if this is an issue on your system.
+  They should be run across multiple nodes with a varying number of processes.
+  These programs can be found at:
+  http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/known_problems/
+  (NAF - 2011/01/19)
+
+* All the VFL drivers aren't backward compatible.  In H5FDpublic.h, the
+  structure H5FD_class_t changed in 1.8.  There is new parameter added to
+  get_eoa and set_eoa callback functions.  A new callback function
+  get_type_map was added in.  The public function H5FDrealloc was taken
+  out in 1.8.  The problem only happens when users define their own driver
+  for 1.6 and try to plug in 1.8 library.  Because there's only one user 
+  complaining about it, we (Elena, Quincey, and I) decided to leave it as 
+  it is (see bug report #1279).  Quincey will make a plan for 1.10.
+  (SLU - 2010/02/02)
+
+* The --enable-static-exec configure flag will only statically link libraries
+  if the static version of that library is present. If only the shared version
+  of a library exists (i.e., most system libraries on Solaris, AIX, and Mac,
+  for example, only have shared versions), the flag should still result in a 
+  successful compilation, but note that the installed executables will not be 
+  fully static. Thus, the only guarantee on these systems is that the 
+  executable is statically linked with just the HDF5 library.
+  (MAM - 2009/11/04)
+  
+* Parallel tests failed with 16 processes with data inconsistency at testphdf5
+  / dataset_readAll. Parallel tests also failed with 32 and 64 processes with
+  collective abort of all ranks at t_posix_compliant / allwrite_allread_blocks
+  with MPI IO.
+  (CMC - 2009/04/28)
+
+* On an Intel 64 Linux cluster (RH 4, Linux 2.6.9) with Intel 10.0 compilers, 
+  use -mp -O1 compilation flags to build the libraries. A higher level of 
+  optimization causes failures in several HDF5 library tests. 
+
+* A dataset created or rewritten with a v1.6.3 library or after cannot be read 
+  with the v1.6.2 library or before when the Fletcher32 EDC filter is enabled.
+  There was a bug in the calculation of the Fletcher32 checksum in the 
+  library before v1.6.3; the checksum value was not consistent between big-
+  endian and little-endian systems.  This bug was fixed in Release 1.6.3.  
+  However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value was no longer the same as 
+  before on little-endian system.  Library releases after 1.6.4 can still read 
+  datasets created or rewritten with an HDF5 library of v1.6.2 or before.

-      to specify --enable-threadsafe with --with-pthreads if the Pthreads 
-      library is in a standard location.  (DER - 2014/04/11 HDFFV-8693)

     Library
     -------
-    - Added an H5free_memory API call. This should be used to free memory 
-      that has been allocated by HDF5 API calls. H5Tget_member_name and 
-      H5Pget_class_name are two examples. The main motivation for this call 
-      is Windows, where it is common for application code and the HDF5 Library 
-      to be using different C run-time libraries (CRT). Using the new call 
-      ensures that the same CRT handles both the allocation and free. This 
-      new function can also be useful in any case where the library uses a 
-      different memory manager than the application, such as when a debug 
-      memory manager is in use or when the HDF5 Library is wrapped for use 
-      in a managed language like Python or Java. Fixes HDFFV-7710, 8519, 
-      and 8851. (DER - 2014/04/11)
-
-    - The Core VFD (aka Memory VFD) can now be configured to track dirty 
-      regions in the file and only write out the changed regions on 
-      flush/close. Additionally, a "page aggregation" size can be set that 
-      will aggregate small writes into larger writes. For example, setting 
-      a 1 MiB page aggregation size will logically partition the the 
-      in-memory file into 1 MiB pages that will be written out in their 
-      entirety if even a single byte is dirtied. The feature is controlled 
-      via the new H5Pset/get_core_write_tracking() API call. A new 
-      "core_paged" target has been added to the check-vfd target in 
-      test/Makefile.am that exercises the feature over all HDF5 VFD-aware
-      tests. (DER - 2014/04/12)

     Parallel Library
     ----------------
-    - Removed MPI-POSIX VFD, as it wasn't helping anyone and was just
-      generating support questions. Application developers performing
-      parallel I/O should always use the MPI-IO VFD.
-     (QAK - 2014/03/28 HDFFV-8659)
+     - Chunk Fill Writes Changed to Collective
+    
+      Slow performance in chunk fill writes. Chunk fills 
+      in the past were written independently by rank 0 one block 
+      at a time. 
+      
+      Optimized the chunk fill write algorithm so that all 
+      chunk fill values will be written collectively in a single MPI-IO 
+      call. This should show a great performance improvement when 
+      creating chunked datasets in parallel when the chunk dimensions 
+      are fairly small.

     Configuration
     -------------
-    - CMake: When CMake commands are executed individually on the command line
-      and the external filters are being built, the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE define
-      must be set to the same value as the configuration
-      (-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release if using -C Release). This is needed 
-      by the the szip and zlib filter build commands. (ADB - HDFFV-8695)
+    - CMake and SVN URLs
+    
+      The SVN URLs will be different when the HDF Group domain name changes.
+

+    - CMake Packaging
+    
+      A Fortran module was not generated if the compiler was not F2003
+      compliant.
+    
+      Removed the module name from the package list of Fortran modules because
+      that module was never generated. This was only an issue for Fortran

+      for the hdf5 install directory.  Without this entry the relink commands 
+      invoked by "make install" to create libraries dependent on libhdf5.so added 
+      a dependency on the first libhdf5.so found in any directory in AM_LDFLAGS

+      The Fortran high-level (HL) library did not compile if the default 
+      size of a REAL is DOUBLE PRECISION; the build would fail during 
+      compilation.
 
-      Static + thread-safe + Win32 threads is not a supported configuration
-      due to the inability to automatically clean up thread-local storage. 
-      This is expected to be fixed in a future release. In the meantime, a 
-      work-around that uses internal functionality may allow the combination 
-      to be used without resource leaks. Contact the help desk for more 
-      information. (DER - 2014/04/11)
+      Configure now checks to see if REAL is DOUBLE PRECISION, Fortran is

-    - Autotools: Several changes were done to configure and installcheck. 
+      (MSB - 2014/8/11, HDFFV-8883/HDFFV-889)
 
-      An export of LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<szip library location> was
-      removed from configure; make installcheck was revised to run
-      scripts installed in share/hdf5_examples to use the installed h5cc, etc. 
-      to compile and run example source files also installed there. 
 
-      Make installcheck will now fail when a shared szip or other external lib 
-      file cannot be found in the same manner that executables compiled and 
-      linked with h5cc will fail to run when those lib files cannot be found 
-      after install. Make installcheck should pass after setting 
-      LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the szip location. (LRK - 2014/04/16)

+      free up the identifier. A problem was found where the identifiers 
+      were not being freed up correctly.
+      
+      Fixed the problem so that identifiers that have been used can be 
+      used again after their object has been closed.

+    - Removal of DllMain() from Static Windows Builds 
+
+      A DllMain() function was added in HDF5 1.8.13 in order to handle 
+      win32 thread cleanup. The preprocessor #ifdefs around the DllMain 
+      function allowed it to be compiled when the static library is built, 
+      which is incorrect behavior that can cause linkage problems in 
+      clients.
+
+      The fix was to change the preprocessor #ifdefs to exclude compiling 
+      DllMain() in static builds. Our DllMain function is now only 
+      compiled when the shared, thread-safe library is built on Windows.

-      values to parts of the use buffer that were associated with the unwritten 
-      chunks.  (JP - 2014/05/01 HDFFV-8247)
+    C++ API
+    ------
+    - Memory Leaks
 
-    - The compress option is retired from bin/release.
-      (AKC - 2014/04/25 HDFFV-8755)
+      There were several potential memory leaks in the library due to
+      dynamically allocated strings not being freed when failure occurs.
 
-    - bin/release has a new option "zip" that produces a release zip file for
-      the Windows platform. (AKC - 2014/04/24 HDFFV-8433)
+      Applied user's patches to remove these potential memory leaks.
 
-    - h5diff: Several failures relating to handling of strings attributes 
-      are fixed. 
+      (BMR - 2014/09/30, HDFFV-8928)
 
-      The tool crashed or gave an error message when one of the strings had
-      fixed size type and another variable-length size type. h5diff now flags such
-      strings as "not comparable". We plan to enhance the tool to handle
-      strings of the different types in the future releases.
-      (AKC - 2014/04/18 HDFFV-8625, 8639, 8745)
+    - Disallow H5F_ACC_CREAT
+      
+      H5F_ACC_CREAT was included in the C++ API but the C library does not
+      allow it at this time.
 
-    - h5repack: h5repack would not remove user-defined filters.
-      Fixed by modifying h5repack to check if the filter is registered or 
-      can be dynamically loaded. (ADB - 2014/03/03 HDFFV-8629)
+      Removed this flag from the functions in H5File class.
 
-    F90 API
-    -------
-    - H5D_CHUNK_CACHE_NSLOTS_DFLT_F and H5D_CHUNK_CACHE_NBYTES_DFLT_F were 
-      changed from the default KIND for INTEGER to INTEGER of KIND size_t. 
-      (MSB - 2014/3/31 HDFFV-8689)
+      (BMR - 2014/09/29, HDFFV-8852)
 
-    C++ API
-    ------
-    - Added throw() to all exception destructors.  Credit to Jason Newton
-      (nevion at gmail.com) for the patch.  (BMR - 2014/4/15 HDFFV-8623)
-    - Changed the default value for H5Location::getComment from 256 to 0
-      to conform to C function and because it makes more sense.
-      (BMR - 2014/4/15)
+    - Missing Flags in Documentation: H5F_ACC_RDONLY and H5F_ACC_RDWR
+
+      The H5F_ACC_RDONLY and H5F_ACC_RDWR flags were missing from the 
+      documentation of the H5File constructors.
+
+      These two flags are now included in the documentation for opening 
+      files.
 
-    High-Level APIs:
+      (BMR - 2014/09/29, HDFFV-8852)
+
+    High-level APIs:
     ------
-    - None
+    - Seg Faults in H5TBread_field_name and H5TBread_field_name_f
 
-    Fortran High-Level APIs:
+      When H5TBread_field_name or H5TBread_field_name_f were used to read a 
+      field and if the name of the field was wrong, a segmentation fault 
+      would result.
+
+      Both C and Fortran APIs were fixed so they no longer seg fault if 
+      the name of the field is wrong, and both APIs return a negative 
+      value if the name of the field is wrong.
+
+      (MSB - 2014/09/29, HDFFV-8912)
+
+    - Possible Buffer Overflow in High-level (HL) APIs
+
+      Multiple HL APIs (H5DSis_scale is one example) had issues:
+        (1) The datatype from the file was re-used as the memory datatype, 
+            and
+        (2) No effort was made to ensure that strings were actually 
+            null-terminated.
+     
+      All of the HL routines now check for NULL pointers, for null-terminated 
+      strings, and to see if string buffers are short enough not to overflow 
+      the buffer. The minimum length of the buffers is now used in strncmp 
+      to avoid overflow.
+
+      (MSB - 2014/9/29, HDFFV-8670)
+
+    - Behavior Change of H5LTdtype_to_text
+
+      If a user buffer was passed in to H5LTdtype_to_text along with the 
+      length, then the function would not truncate at the end of the 
+      buffer, but would exceed the end of the user buffer.
+
+      H5LTdtype_to_text was changed to truncate the string if the user 
+      buffer is too small.
+
+      (MSB - 2014/9/29, HDFFV-8855)
+
+    Fortran High-level APIs:
     ------
-    - None
+     - See entry for HDFFV-8912 above.
 
     Testing
     -------
-    - testhdf5 now exits with EXIT_SUCCESS(0) if no errors, else 
-      EXIT_FAILURE(1). (AKC - 2014/01/27 HDFFV-8572)
+    - A subtest in parallel h5diff (ph5diff) testing was bypassed for the
+      local Linux 32 machine due to unknown issue in the previous version of
+      Mpich. The failure no long exists in the current Mpich. Therefore the
+      bypass is removed. (AKC - 2014/11/03 HDFFV-8954)
+
+    - Fixed incorrect exit code values (was -1) in testframe which is commonly
+      used by several test programs. (AKC - 2014/07/22 HDFFV-8881)
 
-    - The big test now pays attention to the HDF5_DRIVER environment variable.
-      Previously, it would run all tests with the family, stdio, and sec2
-      virtual file drivers (VFDs) for each VFD in the check-vfd make target, 
-      regardless of the variable setting. It now checks the variable and 
-      either runs the appropriate VFD-specific tests or skips as needed. 
-      This saves much testing time. Fixes HDFFV-8554. (DER - 2014/04/11)
+    - Fixed Incorrect Exit Code Values in Testframe
+      The testframe which is commonly used by several test programs 
+      had some incorrect exit code values.  Fixed the incorrect exit code
+      values.  (AKC - 2014/07/22, HDFFV-8881)

 Known Problems
 ==============
-* When reading or writing a dataset (H5Dread/H5Dwrite) with a large selection
-  size (e.g., 2GB ~= 500 million of 4 bytes integers or floating point
-  numbers), some I/O systems may not be able to process it correctly.
-  We advise users to find out system limits before using large selections. If
-  I/O size limits exist, application should use HDF5 partial I/O capabilities
-  (e.g., H5Sselect_hyperslab(...)) to divide large requests into smaller sizes.
-  In this case we also advise users not to use chunk storage sizes larger that
-  2GB since the HDF5 library performs I/O on the entire chunk.  We will work
-  on the HDF5 library to divide large data requests to smaller I/O requests.
-  (AKC 2014/05/02 HDFFV-8479)
-
-* Due to an Intel compiler bug introduced in version 14.0.1, the HDF5 FORTRAN
-  wrappers do not work with configure option --enable-fortran2003. 
-  However, the option --enable-fortran works with Intel 14.0.1. The compiler 
-  bug was fixed in Intel version 14.0.2 and resolved the issue. 
-  (MSB - 2014/4/15)
-
-* Due to a PGI compiler bug introduced in versions before 13.3 and versions 
-  after 14.2, the FORTRAN test 'Testing get file image' will fail. 
-  (MSB - 2014/4/15)
-
-* On CYGWIN, when building the library dynamically, testing will fail on 
-  dynamically loaded filters. The test process will build dynamic filter 
-  libraries with the *.dll.a extension, and the HDF5 Library will be looking 
-  for *.so libraries. Entered as issue HDFFV-8736. (ADB - 2014/04/14)
-  
-* A Gnu Make directive (.NOTPARALLEL) is added to fortran/test/Makefile.
-  AIX native make does not support this directive and would fail if
-  parallel make (e.g. make -j4) is used to build the library. AIX users
-  either do not use parallel make or install Gnu Make to build the library.
-  (AKC 2014/04/08 HDFFV-8738)
+* On cygwin platforms the feature to load dynamic filter libraries only looks
+  for libraries with the a so extension. Support for cygwin cygxxx.dll libraries
+  is planned for the next release.
+  (ADB - 2014/11/04 - HDFFV-8736)
+
+* On windows platforms in debug configurations, the VFD flush1 tests will fail
+  with the split and multi VFD drivers. These tests will display a modal debug 
+  dialog which must be answered or wait for the test timeout to expire.
+  The flush1 and flush2 tests will be skipped under debug for this release.
+  (ADB - 2014/06/23 - HDFFV-8851)
 
 * CLANG compiler with the options -fcatch-undefined-behavior and -ftrapv
-  catches some undefined behavior in the alignment algorithm of the macro
-  DETECT_I in H5detect.c. Since the algorithm is trying to detect the alignment
-  of integers, ideally the flag -fcatch-undefined-behavior should not to be
-  used for H5detect.c. In the future, we can separate flags for H5detect.c
-  from the rest of the library.  (SLU - 2013/10/16 HDFFV-8147)
+  catches some undefined behavior in the alignment algorithm of the macro DETECT_I
+  in H5detect.c (Issue 8147).  Since the algorithm is trying to detect the alignment
+  of integers, ideally the flag -fcatch-undefined-behavior shouldn't to be used for
+  H5detect.c. In the future, we can separate flags for H5detect.c from the rest of
+  the library. (SLU - 2013/10/16)
 
 * Make provided by Solaris fails in "make check". Solaris users should use
   gmake to build and install the HDF5 software. (AKC - 2013/10/08 - HDFFV-8534)
 
-* On OpenVMS, two soft conversion functions (H5T__conv_i_f and H5T__conv_f_i)
-  have bugs.  They convert data between floating-point numbers and integers.
-  But the library's default is hard conversion.  The user should avoid
-  explicitly enabling soft conversion between floating-point numbers and
-  integers. (Issue VMS-8; SLU - 2013/09/19)
-
-* On OpenVMS, ZLIB 1.2.8 library doesn't work properly.  ZLIB 1.2.5 works
-  fine.  So please use ZLIB 1.2.5 to build HDF5 library. (Issue VMS-5;
-  SLU 2013/09/19)  
-
-* When building using the Cray compilers on Cray machines, HDF5
-  configure mistakenly thinks the compiler is an intel compiler and
-  sets the -std=c99 flag which breaks configure on Cray. To build HDF5
-  properly on a Cray machine, please consult with the instructions in
-  INSTALL_parallel for building on Hopper.
-  (MSC - 2013/04/26 - HDFFV-8429)
-
-* The 5.9 C++ compiler on Sun failed to compile a C++ test ttypes.cpp.  It 
-  complains with this message:
-      "/home/hdf5/src/H5Vprivate.h", line 130: Error: __func__ is not defined.
-  
-  The reason is that __func__ is a predefined identifier in C99 standard.  The
-  HDF5 C library uses it in H5private.h.  The test ttypes.cpp includes 
-  H5private.h (H5Tpkg.h<-H5Fprivate.h<-H5Vprivate.h<-H5private.h).  Sun's 5.9
-  C++ compiler doesn't support __func__, thus fails to compile the C++ test.
-  But Sun's 5.11 C++ compiler does.  To check whether your Sun C++ compiler 
-  knows this identifier, try to compile the following simple C++ program:
-      #include<stdio.h>
-
-      int main(void)
-      {
-          printf("%s\n", __func__);
-          return 0;
-      }
-  (SLU - 2012/11/5)
+* The h5dump and h5diff utilities occasionally produce different output
+  between Linux and Windows systems. This is caused by lower-level library
+  routines that fail to write fill values to the user's buffer when reading
+  unallocated chunks from datasets that have a fill value set to
+  H5D_FILL_VALUE_DEFAULT. Due to platform differences the return of
+  spurious data values has only been encountered on Windows 32-bit systems.
+  (Issue HDFFV-8247; JP - 2013/03/27)
 
 * The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD with the
   native release 8.2 compilers (4.2.1), but are working with gcc 4.6 from the
   ports (and probably gcc releases after that).
   (QAK - 2012/10/19)
 
-* The following h5dump test case fails in BG/P machines (and potentially other
-  machines that use a command script to launch executables):
-
-   h5dump --no-compact-subset -d "AHFINDERDIRECT::ah_centroid_t[0] it=0 tl=0"
-     tno-subset.h5
-  
-  This is due to the embedded spaces in the dataset name being interpreted
-  by the command script launcher as meta-characters, thus passing three
-  arguments to h5dump's -d flag. The command passes if run by hand, just
-  not via the test script.
-  (AKC - 2012/05/03)
-
-* On hopper, the build failed when RUNSERIAL and RUNPARALLEL are set
-  to aprun -np X, because the H5lib_settings.c file was not generated
-  properly. Not setting those environment variables works, because
-  configure was able to automatically detect that it's a Cray system
-  and used the proper launch commands when necessary. 
-  (MSC - 2012/04/18)
-
-* The data conversion test dt_arith.c fails in "long double" to integer
-  conversion on Ubuntu 11.10 (3.0.0.13 kernel) with GCC 4.6.1 if the library
-  is built with optimization -O3 or -O2.  The older GCC (4.5) or newer kernal
-  (3.2.2 on Fedora) doesn't have the problem.  Users should lower the 
-  optimization level (-O1 or -O0) by defining CFLAGS in the command line of 
-  "configure" like:
-
-      CFLAGS=-O1 ./configure
-
-  This will overwrite the library's default optimization level.
-  (SLU - 2012/02/07 - HDFFV-7829)
-  This issue is no longer present on Ubuntu 12.10 (3.5.0 kernel) with 
-  gcc 4.7.2.
-
 * The STDIO VFD does not work on some architectures, possibly due to 32/64
   bit or large file issues.  The basic STDIO VFD test is known to fail on
   64-bit SunOS 5.10 on SPARC when built with -m64 and 32-bit OS X/Darwin

+   It will then configure, build, and execute the examples. All the log files
+   will be found under the build\Testing\Temporary directory, check these for
+   errors.
+   
+The amount of script information can be increased by adding -V to the ctest
+   command. Even more information can be shown by adding -VV instead of -V.

- DESCRIPTION
-        This function retrieves the name of an attribute for an attribute ID.
-    Up to 'buf_size' characters are stored in 'buf' followed by a '\0' string
-    terminator.  If the name of the attribute is longer than 'buf_size'-1,
-    the string terminator is stored in the last position of the buffer to

+ *		The more complex behaviors of a file's creation and access

- *
- *		H5F_ACC_EXCL:	This flag causes H5F_open() to fail if the

- *		H5F_ACC_TRUNC:	The file is truncated and a new HDF5 superblock
- *				is written.  This operation will fail if the
- *				file is already open.
- *
- *		Unlinking the file name from the group directed graph while
- *		the file is opened causes the file to continue to exist but
- *		one will not be able to upgrade the file from read-only
- *		access to read-write access by reopening it. Disk resources
- *		for the file are released when all handles to the file are
- *		closed. NOTE: This paragraph probably only applies to Unix;
- *		deleting the file name in other OS's has undefined results.
- *
- *		The CREATE_PARMS argument is optional.	A null pointer will
- *		cause the default file creation parameters to be used.
- *
- *		The ACCESS_PARMS argument is optional.  A null pointer will
- *		cause the default file access parameters to be used.
- *
- * Return:	Success:	A new file pointer.
- *		Failure:	NULL

- * Function:	H5Fflush

+ *
+ * Purpose:	Closes a file or causes the close operation to be pended.
+ *		This function is called two ways: from the API it gets called
+ *		by H5Fclose->H5I_dec_ref->H5F_close when H5I_dec_ref()
+ *		decrements the file ID reference count to zero.  The file ID
+ *		is removed from the H5I_FILE group by H5I_dec_ref() just

+ *		H5I_FILE_CLOSING ID group (the f->closing contains the ID
+ *		assigned to file).
  *
- * Purpose:	Flushes all outstanding buffers of a file to disk but does
- *		not remove them from the cache.  The OBJECT_ID can be a file,
- *		dataset, group, attribute, or named data type.
