Purpose:
Added section for R1.6.1
Listed new functions:
H5Fget_freelist
h5pset_fapl_mpiposix_f *
h5pget_fapl_mpiposix_f *
(* With note that these functions were new in 1.6.0
but undocumented.)
Listed functions with changed sytax:
H5Gget_obj_info -- changed struct
h5fset_cache_f -- parameter change
And a copy edit in the 1.6.0 section where that release was
referred to as 'Release 1.5'.
Platforms tested:
Safari, IE 5

<h3>Functions with Changed Syntax</h3>

The following functions have changed as noted.

<dt>C functions:
|
||||
<dt><code>H5Gget_obj_info</code>
|
||||
<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.

||||

|
||||
<dt>Fortran90 subroutines:
|
||||
<dt><code>h5pset_cache_f</code>
|
||||
<dd>The <code>rdcc_nbytes</code> parameter has changed from
|
||||
<code><em>INTEGER</em></code> to <code><em>INTEGER(SIZE_T)</em></code>
|
||||
to better match the C API and the <code>h5pget_cache_f</code>
|
||||
subroutine.
