bug fix
Description:
an assertion after the search for objects was saying that the number of
objects in file should be > 0
removed it, since there can be a case where the number of objects is 0.
in this case this was found by a case where zlib was not present and the output file
was not written any objects to
note: this was only detected on the windows batch files, that do not have a conditional
condition to not run tests when a filter is not present
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Fix "double root open" bug and apply same fix to datasets & named datatypes.
Also fix bug in symbol table entry lookup code that would "transfer" an
object from one file handle to another file handle when the two file handles
were opened on the same actual file.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Updated release notes
Description:
Mentioned that shared C++ and Fortran libraries are supported in
INSTALL and RELEASE.txt.
Platforms tested:
documentation change only
Description: Added support for "big" REAL and DOUBLE PRECISION types.
Solution:
Platforms tested: heping with g95 (-r8, -d8)
mir with ifc (-r16, -r8)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Add the known problem for IRIX6.5 C version >7.4.
Description:
Somehow SGI's MPI implementation doesn't free MPI_TYPE_entries,
So for large application to use MPI derived datatype, environment
variable MPI_TYPE_MAX needs to be reset.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Code cleanup & speedup
Description:
Refactor h5dump & related code to be considerably cleaner & faster for
files with large #'s of objects.
Platforms tested:
FreeBS 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Maintenance on Windows
Description:
Add how to build hdf5 with thread-safe feature on windows into the
document

Misc. update:
Bug fix
Description:
Fix core dump when checking whether to invalidate the name of an object
when unlinking an object in a group opened through an object reference.
Solution:
Check if names of various objects are valid before comparing them, etc.

FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)

Add more comments for collective chunk IO supports.
Description:
On some platforms that use mpich library internally, we have no way to check mpich version number. We have to manually turn off the collective IO supports.
One example is Altix(cobalt). Just put a comment there so that we won't forget about this.
Solution:

Misc. update:
Description:
Added missing member functions:
H5::CompType::getMemberArrayType
H5::CompType::getMemberVarLenType
H5::AbstractDs::getArrayType
H5::AbstractDs::getVarLenType
H5::CommonFG::openArrayType
H5::CommonFG::openVarLenType
H5::PropList::copyProp -- this will replace the current
H5::PropList::copyProp in later releases due
to incorrect prototype.
H5::IdComponent::getHDFObjType
Bug fix
Description:
Correct problems when querying information about a group that was opened
by dereferencing an object reference.
Solution:
Read in symbol table information instead of rely on it being cached.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Too minor to require h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
If a named datatype is copied and the copy is used to create a dataset,
the dataset would inadvertantly refer to the original named datatype instead
of a local (possibly modified) copy of the named datatype.
Solution:
Fixed datatype copying routine.

Bug fix
Description:
Further progress on fixing file mounting to work properly.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4
Too minor to require h5committest
Description: There was a bug in the calculating code of the Fletcher32
checksum in the library before v1.6.3. The checksum value wasn't 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 is no
longer the same as before on little-endian system.
Solution: Made the library compare both the correct checksum and incorrect
checksum generated from v1.6.2 or before. This makes the library be
backward compatible but not forward compatible.
Platforms tested: h5committest and fuss.
Misc. update: Documented the forward incompatibility problem in the
Known Problem section in RELEASE.txt
Modification on .Net and Intel part
Description:
In batch mode, there should be no options to choose build Only HDF5 C or both C and C++ library
with visual studio .net or intel compiler for the time being
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Bug fix & code cleanup
Description:
Don't unmount child files from a parent file if the parent file is
being held open by an object.
Also, moved the mounting routines into their own source file and the
superblock routines into their own file also.
Solution:
Moved the code for unmounting child files down in the H5F_close routine
and also add checks to the file and group mounting code to unmount child
files when the last object holding open a file closes.

FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
