 New Features
 ============
 
-   * XML output option for h5dump utility.

-     A new option --xml to output data in XML format has been added. The
-     XML output contains a complete description of the file, marked up in
-     XML. 
-
-     The XML conforms to the HDF5 Document Type Definition (DTD), which
-     is available at:
-
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/DTDs/HDF5-File.dtd
-
-     The XML output is suitable for use with other tools, including the

 ==================================
 
-   * h4toh5 utility: conversion of images is fixed
-
-     Earlier releases of the h4toh5 utility produced images that did not
-     correctly conform to the HDF5 Image and Palette Specification.
-
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/ImageSpec.html
-
-     Several required HDF5 attributes are omitted, and the dataspace
-     is reversed (i.e., the ht. and width of the image dataset is
-     incorrectly described.)  For more information, please see:
-
-       http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/H5Image/ImageDetails.htm
-
-   * Fixed bug with contiguous hyperslabs not being detected, causing
-     slower I/O than necessary.
-   * Fixed bug where non-aligned hyperslab I/O on chunked datasets was
-     causing errors during I/O
-   * The RCSID string in H5public.h was causing the C++ compiling problem
-     because when it was included multiple times, C++ did not like
-     multiple definitions of the same static variable. All occurance of
-     RCSID definition are removed since we have not used it consistently
-     before.
