<h2>Release 1.4.1 (current release) Versus Release 1.4</h2>
<h2>Release 1.4.1 (current release) Versus Release 1.4.0</h2>
<dir>
Release 1.4.1 is a "Tools Release," so changes to the
underlying HDF5 library have included only bugfixes.
<p>
The <code>h5dump</code> utility has a new XML output option,
<code>--xml</code>. The XML output is suitable for use with other
tools, including the HDF5 Java Tools.
<p>
An image conversion bug in the <code>h4toh5</code> utility has been
fixed. Earlier releases of the utility produced images that did not
correctly conform to the
<a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ADGuide/ImageSpec.html">
<cite>HDF5 Image and Palette Specification</cite></a>.
Several required HDF5 attributes were omitted, and the dataspace
were reversed (i.e., the height and width of the image dataset were
incorrectly described). For more information, see
<a href="http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.htm"
target="ExtWin"><cite>Revisions and Updates to HDF5 Image
Handling</cite></a>.
(As of Release 1.4.1, that document is still under revision.
An updated version will be posted at the above-referenced site
as soon as it is available.)
<p>
See <a href="RELEASE.txt" target="ExtWin">RELEASE.txt</a> for
a list of bugs fixed in the HDF5 library.
