+    * Add data shuffle filter(source code H5Zshuffle.c), the combination of the

+      much encoding and decoding CPU time for many application datasets(especially

 New Features
 ============
 
+    * H5Dget_offset is added to return the offset of a dataset's data relative
+      to the beginning of the file.  SLU - 2002/11/7
+    * Functions H5Tget_native_type and H5Tis_variable_str are added.  The first
+      one reconstructs a datatype based on native memory datatype.  The second
+      one checks if a datatype is variable string.  SLU - 2002/11/6
     * Added environment variable "HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK", which disables
