Library:
--------
- Changed 'objno' field in H5G_stat_t structure from 'unsigned long[2]'
to 'haddr_t'. QAK - 2003/08/08
- Changed 'fileno' field in H5G_stat_t structure from 'unsigned long[2]'

field in the H5G_stat_t struct for testing if two objects are the same
within a file. QAK - 2003/08/08

Library
-------
- Corrected bugs in H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and
H5Gget_objtype_by_idx to allow them to accept location IDs, not just
group IDs. QAK - 2003/08/21
- Corrected bug when using scalar dataspace for memory selection and
operating on chunked dataset. QAK - 2003/08/18
- Corrected bugs with multiple '/' characters in names for H5Glink
and H5Gunlink. QAK - 2003/08/16
- Corrected bug with user blocks that didn't allow a user block to
be inserted in front of a file after the file was created.
QAK - 2003/08/13
- Corrected errors with using point selections to access data in
chunked datasets. QAK - 2003/07/23
- Corrected error with variable-length datatypes and chunked datasets
caused H5Dwrite to fail sometimes. QAK - 2003/07/19
- Modified library and file format to support storing indexed storage
(chunked dataset) B-tree's with non-default internal 'K' values.
QAK - 2003/07/15
- Returned H5T_BKG_TEMP support to library after it was accidentally
removed. QAK - 2003/07/14
- Return rank of the array datatype on successful call to
H5Tget_array_dims(). QAK - 2003/08/30
- Corrected bug in H5Tdetect_class which was not correctly detecting
datatype classes of fields in nested compound datatypes in some
circumstances. QAK - 2003/08/30
- Corrected bug in sieve buffer code which could cause loss of data
when a small dataset was created and deleted in quick succession.
QAK - 2003/08/27
- Corrected bug in H5Gget_objname_by_idx which was not allowing NULL
for the name when just querying for the object name's length.
QAK - 2003/08/25
- Corrected bug in variable-length string handling which could
generate a core dump on writing variable-length strings as part
of a compound datatype on certain architectures. QAK - 2003/08/25
- Corrected bug in H5Tget_native_type which would incorrectly compute
the size of certain compound datatypes and also incorrectly
compute the offset of the last field for those compound datatypes.
QAK - 2003/08/25
- Corrected bug in H5Tget_native_type which would drop string datatype
metadata (padding, etc.) QAK - 2003/08/25

H5Gget_objtype_by_idx to allow them to accept location IDs, not just
