CONTENTS
========
- New Features
- Support for new platforms and languages
- Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.1
- Platforms Tested
- Supported Configuration Features Summary
- Known Problems
New Features
============
Configuration
-------------
- Upgraded libtool to version 2.2.6a. (MAM - 2008/10/15).
Library
-------
- Added two new public routines: H5Pget_elink_fapl() and
H5Pset_elink_fapl(). (see bug #1247) (VC - 2008/10/13)
- Improved free space tracking in file to be faster. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
- Added 'mounted' field to H5G_info_t struct. (QAK - 2008/07/15)
Parallel Library
----------------
- None
Tools
-----
- h5repack: added new options -u and -b to add a userblock to an HDF5
file during the repack. (PVN - 2008/08/26)
- h5repack: added options -t and -a to call H5Pset_alignment while
creating a repacked file. (PVN - 2008/08/29)
- h5ls: added capability to traverse through external links when the -r
(recursive) flag is given. (NAF - 2008/09/16)
- h5ls: added -E option to enable traversal of external links.
h5ls will not traverse external links without this flag being set.
(NAF - 2008/10/06)
- h5dump: when -b flag is used without a keyword after it, binary
output defaults to NATIVE. MEMORY keyword was deprecated
and replaced by NATIVE keyword. (PVN - 2008/10/30)
- h5diff: returns 1 when file graphs differ by any object.
Error return code was changed to 2 from -1. (PVN - 2008/10/30)
- h5import: TEXTFPE (scientific format) was deprecated. Use TEXTFP
instead (PVN - 2008/10/30)
F90 API
------
- Added optional parameter 'mounted' to H5Gget_info_f,
H5Gget_info_by_idx_f, H5Gget_info_by_name_f (MSB - 2008/09/24)
- Added H5Tget_native_type_f (MSB - 2008/09/30)
C++ API
------
- These member functions were added as wrapper for H5Rdereference to
replace the incorrect IdComponent::dereference().
void H5Object::dereference(H5Object& obj, void* ref,
H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
void H5Object::dereference(H5File& h5file, void* ref,
H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
void H5Object::dereference(Attribute& obj, void* ref,
H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
In addition, these constructors were added to create the associated
objects by way of dereference:
DataSet(H5Object& obj, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
DataSet(H5File& file, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
DataSet(Attribute& attr, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
Group(H5Object& obj, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
Group(H5File& obj, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
Group(Attribute& attr, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
DataType(H5Object& obj, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
DataType(H5File& file, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
DataType(Attribute& attr, void* ref, H5R_type_t ref_type=H5R_OBJECT)
(BMR - 2008/10/29)
Support for New Platforms, Languages, and Compilers
===================================================
- Intel 10.1 is supported on Mac OS X 10.5.4.
Note:
When Fortran is enabled, configure automatically
disables the build of shared libraries (i.e., only
static C and C++ HDF5 libraries will be built
along with the static HDF5 Fortran library).
Intel 10.1 C and C++ compilers require
"-no-multibyte-chars" compilation flag due to the known
bug in the compilers.
(EIP - 2008/10/30)
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.1
==========================
Configuration
-------------
- Fixed error with 'make check install' failing due to h5dump
needing other tools built first. (MAM - 2008/10/15).
- When using shared szip, it is no longer necessary to specify
the path to the shared szip libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(MAM - 2008/10/15).
- The file libhdf5_fortran.settings is not installed since its content
is included in libhdf5.settings now. (AKC - 2008/10/21)
- "make DESTDIR=xxx install" failed to install some tools and files
(e.g., h5cc and fortran modules). Fixed. (AKC - 2008/10/8).
Library
-------
- H5Ovisit and H5Ovisit_by_name will now properly terminate when the
callback function returns a positive value on the starting object.
(NAF - 2008/11/03)
- Fixed an error where a null message could be created that was larger
than could be written to the file. (NAF - 2008/10/23)
- Corrected error with family/split/multi VFD not updating driver info
when "latest" version of the file format used. (QAK - 2008/10/14)
- Corrected alignment+threshold errors to work correctly when metadata
aggregation is enabled. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
- Changed H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids to ignore objects
registered by the library for internal library use.
(NAF - 2008/10/06)
- Fixed potential memory leak during compound conversion.
(NAF - 2008/10/06)
- Changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_count from INT to SSIZE_T.
Also changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_ids from HERR_T to
SSIZE_T and the type of the parameter MAX_OBJS from INT to SIZE_T.
(SLU - 2008/09/26)
- Fixed an issue that could cause data to be improperly overwritten
during compound type conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/19)
- Fixed pointer alignment violations that could occur during vlen
conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/16)
- Fixed problem where library could cause a segmentation fault when
an invalid location ID was given to H5Giterate(). (QAK - 2008/08/19)
- Fixed improper shutdown when objects have reference count > 1. The
library now tracks reference count due to the application separately
from that due to internal library routines. (NAF - 2008/08/19)
- Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
(NAF - 2008/08/08)
- Fixed an issue where mount point traversal would fail when using
multiple handles for the child. (NAF - 2008/08/07)
- Fixed an issue where mount points were inaccessible when using
multiple file handles for the parent. The mount table is now in
the shared file structure (the parent pointer is still in the
top structure). (NAF - 2008/08/07)
- Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
(NAF - 2008/08/04)
- Fixed issue where a group could have a file mounted on it twice.
(QAK - 2008/07/15)
- When an attribute was opened twice and data was written with
one of the handles, the file didn't have the data. It happened
because each handle had its own object structure, and the empty
one overwrote the data with fill value. This is fixed by making
some attribute information like the data be shared in the
attribute structure. (SLU - 2008/07/07)
- Fixed a Windows-specific issue in the ohdr test which was causing
users in some timezones to get false errors. This a deficiency in
the Windows mktime() function, and has been handled properly.
(SJW - 2008/06/19)
Parallel Library
----------------
- None
Tools
-----
- h5dump now checks for uniqueness of committed datatypes.
(NAF - 2008/10/15)
- Fixed unnecessary indentation of committed datatypes in h5dump.
(NAF - 2008/10/15)
- Fixed bugs in h5stat: segmemtation fault when printing groups and
print warning message when traversal of objects is unsuccessful.
(see bug #1253) (VC- 2008/10/13)
- Fixed bug in h5ls that prevented relative group listings (like
"h5ls foo.h5/bar") from working correctly (QAK - 2008/06/03)
- h5dump: when doing binary output (-b), the stdout printing of
attributes was done incorrectly. Removed printing of attributes
when doing binary output. (PVN - 2008/06/05)
F90 API
------
- h5sselect_elements_f: Added additional operators H5S_SELECT_APPEND
and H5S_SELECT_PREPEND (MSB - 2008/09/30)
- h5sget_select_elem_pointlist: Fixed list of returned points by
rearranging the point list correctly by accounting for C
conventions. (MSB - 2008/09/30)
- h5sget_select_hyper_blocklist_f: Fixed error in transposed dimension
of arrays.(MSB - 2008/9/30)
- h5sget_select_bounds_f: Swapped array bounds to account for C and
Fortran reversed array notation (MSB - 2008/9/30)
- Changed to initializing string to a blank character instead of a
null type in tH5P.f90 to fix compiling error using AIX 5.3.0
(MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Fixed missing commas in H5test_kind.f90 detected by NAG compiler
(MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Fixed passing and array to a scalar in tH5A_1_8.f90 detected by
NAG compiler (MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Added the ability of the test programs to use the status of
HDF5_NOCLEANUP to determine if the *.h5 files should be removed
or not after the tests are completed (MSB - 2008/10/1)
- In nh5tget_offset_c: (MSB 9/12/2008)
If offset was equal to 0 it returned the error code of -1,
this was changed to return an error code of -1 when the offset
value is < 0.
- Uses intrinsic Fortran function SIZEOF if available when detecting
type of INTEGERs and REALs in H5test_kind.f90 (MSB - 2008/9/3)
- Put the DOUBLE PRECISION interfaces in a separate module and
added a USE statement for the module. The interfaces are
included/excluded depending on the state of FORTRAN_DEFAULT_REAL
is DBLE_F which detects if the default REAL is DOUBLE PRECISION.
This allows the library to be compiled with -r8 Fortran flag
without the user needing to edit the source code.
(MSB - 200/8/27)
- Enable building shared library for fortran by adding the flag -fPIC
to the compile flags for versions of Intel Fortran compiler >=9
(MSB - 2008/8/26)
C++ API
------
- Fixed a design bug which allowed an Attribute object to create/modify
attributes (bugzilla #1068). The API class hierarchy was revised
to address the problem. Classes AbstractDS and Attribute are moved
out of H5Object. Class Attribute now multiply inherits from
IdComponent and AbstractDs and class DataSet from H5Object and
AbstractDs. In addition, the data member IdComponent::id was
moved into subclasses: Attribute, DataSet, DataSpace, DataType,
H5File, Group, and PropList. (BMR - 2008/05/20)
- IdComponent::dereference was incorrect and replaced as described
in "New Features" section.

Known Problems
==============
* For Red Storm, a Cray XT3 system, the tools/h5ls/testh5ls.sh and
tools/h5copy/testh5copy.sh will fail some of its sub-tests. These sub-tests
are expected to fail and should exit with a non-zero code but the yod
command does not propagate the exit code of the executables. Yod always
returns 0 if it can launch the executable. The test suite shell expects
a non-zero for this particular test, therefore it concludes the test has
failed when it receives 0 from yod. Skip all the "failing" test for now
by changing them as following.
======== Original tools/h5ls/testh5ls.sh =========
TOOLTEST tgroup-1.ls 1 -w80 -r -g tgroup.h5
======== Change to ===============================

==================================================
AKC - 2008/11/10
* For Red Storm, a Cray XT3 system, the yod command sometimes gives the
message, "yod allocation delayed for node recovery". This interferes with
test suites that do not expect seeing this message. See the section of "Red
Storm" in file INSTALL_parallel for a way to deal with this problem.
AKC - 2008/05/28
* We have discovered two problems when running collective IO parallel HDF5
tests with chunking storage on the ChaMPIon MPI compiler on tungsten, a
Linux cluster at NCSA.
Under some complex selection cases:
1) MPI_Get_element returns the wrong value.
2) MPI_Type_struct also generates the wrong derived datatype and corrupt
data may be generated.
These issues arise only when turning on collective IO with chunking storage
with some complex selections. We have not found these problems on other
MPI-IO compilers. If you encounter these problems, you may use independent
IO instead.
To avoid this behavior, change the following line in your code
H5Pset_dxpl_mpio(xfer_plist, H5FD_MPIO_COLLECTIVE);
to
H5Pset_dxpl_mpio(xfer_plist, H5FD_MPIO_INDEPENDENT);
KY - 2007/08/24
* On Intel 64 Linux cluster (RH 4, Linux 2.6.9) with Intel 10.0 compilers,
use -mp -O1 compilation flags to build the libraries. A higher level of
optimization causes failures in several HDF5 library tests.
* For LLNL, uP: both serial and parallel tests pass.
Zeus: Serial tests pass but parallel tests fail with a known problem in MPI.
ubgl: Serial tests pass but parallel tests fail.
* On mpich 1.2.5 and 1.2.6, if more than two processes contribute no IO and
the application asks to do collective IO, we have found that when using 4
processors, a simple collective write will sometimes be hung. This can be
verified with t_mpi test under testpar.
* On IRIX6.5, when the C compiler version is greater than 7.4, complicated
MPI derived datatype code will work. However, the user should increase
the value of the MPI_TYPE_MAX environment variable to some appropriate value
to use collective irregular selection code. For example, the current
parallel HDF5 test needs to raise MPI_TYPE_MAX to 200,000 to pass the test.
* A dataset created or rewritten with a v1.6.3 library or after cannot be read
with the v1.6.2 library or before when the Fletcher32 EDC filter is enabled.
There was a bug in the calculation of the Fletcher32 checksum in the
library before v1.6.3; the checksum value was not consistent between big-
endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in Release 1.6.3.
However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value was no longer the same as
before on little-endian system. Library releases after 1.6.4 can still read
datasets created or rewritten with an HDF5 library of v1.6.2 or before.
SLU - 2005/6/30
* On IBM AIX systems, parallel HDF5 mode will fail some tests with error
messages like "INFO: 0031-XXX ...". This is from the command `poe'.
Set the environment variable MP_INFOLEVEL to 0 to minimize the messages
and run the tests again.
The tests may fail with messages like "The socket name is already in use",
but HDF5 does not use sockets. This failure is due to problems with the
poe command trying to set up the debug socket. To resolve this problem,
check to see whether there are many old /tmp/s.pedb.* files staying around.
These are sockets used by the poe command and left behind due to failed
commands. First, ask your system administrator to clean them out.
Lastly, request IBM to provide a means to run poe without the debug socket.
* The --enable-static-exec configure flag fails to compile for Solaris
platforms. This is due to the fact that not all of the system libraries on
Solaris are available in a static format.
The --enable-static-exec configure flag also fails to correctly compile
on IBM SP2 platforms for serial mode. The parallel mode works fine with
this option.
It is suggested that you do not use this option on these platforms
during configuration.
* There is also a configure error on Altix machines that incorrectly reports
when a version of Szip without an encoder is being used.
* Information about building with PGI and Intel compilers is available in
the INSTALL file sections 4.7 and 4.8.

(BMR - 2008/10/29)
Support for New Platforms, Languages, and Compilers
===================================================
- Intel 10.1 is supported on Mac OS X 10.5.4.
Note:
When Fortran is enabled, configure automatically
disables the build of shared libraries (i.e., only
static C and C++ HDF5 libraries will be built
along with the static HDF5 Fortran library).
Intel 10.1 C and C++ compilers require
"-no-multibyte-chars" compilation flag due to the known
bug in the compilers.
(EIP - 2008/10/30)
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.1
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.2
==========================
Configuration
-------------
- Fixed error with 'make check install' failing due to h5dump
needing other tools built first. (MAM - 2008/10/15).
- When using shared szip, it is no longer necessary to specify
the path to the shared szip libraries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(MAM - 2008/10/15).
- The file libhdf5_fortran.settings is not installed since its content
is included in libhdf5.settings now. (AKC - 2008/10/21)
- "make DESTDIR=xxx install" failed to install some tools and files
(e.g., h5cc and fortran modules). Fixed. (AKC - 2008/10/8).
Library
-------
- H5Ovisit and H5Ovisit_by_name will now properly terminate when the
callback function returns a positive value on the starting object.
(NAF - 2008/11/03)
- Fixed an error where a null message could be created that was larger
than could be written to the file. (NAF - 2008/10/23)
- Corrected error with family/split/multi VFD not updating driver info
when "latest" version of the file format used. (QAK - 2008/10/14)
- Corrected alignment+threshold errors to work correctly when metadata
aggregation is enabled. (QAK - 2008/10/06)
- Changed H5Fget_obj_count and H5Fget_obj_ids to ignore objects
registered by the library for internal library use.
(NAF - 2008/10/06)
- Fixed potential memory leak during compound conversion.
(NAF - 2008/10/06)
- Changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_count from INT to SSIZE_T.
Also changed the return value of H5Fget_obj_ids from HERR_T to
SSIZE_T and the type of the parameter MAX_OBJS from INT to SIZE_T.
(SLU - 2008/09/26)
- Fixed an issue that could cause data to be improperly overwritten
during compound type conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/19)
- Fixed pointer alignment violations that could occur during vlen
conversion. (NAF - 2008/09/16)
- Fixed problem where library could cause a segmentation fault when
an invalid location ID was given to H5Giterate(). (QAK - 2008/08/19)
- Fixed improper shutdown when objects have reference count > 1. The
library now tracks reference count due to the application separately
from that due to internal library routines. (NAF - 2008/08/19)
- Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
(NAF - 2008/08/08)
- Fixed an issue where mount point traversal would fail when using
multiple handles for the child. (NAF - 2008/08/07)
- Fixed an issue where mount points were inaccessible when using
multiple file handles for the parent. The mount table is now in
the shared file structure (the parent pointer is still in the
top structure). (NAF - 2008/08/07)
- Fixed assertion failure caused by incorrect array datatype version.
(NAF - 2008/08/04)
- Fixed issue where a group could have a file mounted on it twice.
(QAK - 2008/07/15)
- When an attribute was opened twice and data was written with
one of the handles, the file didn't have the data. It happened
because each handle had its own object structure, and the empty
one overwrote the data with fill value. This is fixed by making
some attribute information like the data be shared in the
attribute structure. (SLU - 2008/07/07)
- Fixed a Windows-specific issue in the ohdr test which was causing
users in some timezones to get false errors. This a deficiency in
the Windows mktime() function, and has been handled properly.
(SJW - 2008/06/19)
Parallel Library
----------------
- None
Tools
-----
- h5dump now checks for uniqueness of committed datatypes.
(NAF - 2008/10/15)
- Fixed unnecessary indentation of committed datatypes in h5dump.
(NAF - 2008/10/15)
- Fixed bugs in h5stat: segmemtation fault when printing groups and
print warning message when traversal of objects is unsuccessful.
(see bug #1253) (VC- 2008/10/13)
- Fixed bug in h5ls that prevented relative group listings (like
"h5ls foo.h5/bar") from working correctly (QAK - 2008/06/03)
- h5dump: when doing binary output (-b), the stdout printing of
attributes was done incorrectly. Removed printing of attributes
when doing binary output. (PVN - 2008/06/05)
F90 API
------
- h5sselect_elements_f: Added additional operators H5S_SELECT_APPEND
and H5S_SELECT_PREPEND (MSB - 2008/09/30)
- h5sget_select_elem_pointlist: Fixed list of returned points by
rearranging the point list correctly by accounting for C
conventions. (MSB - 2008/09/30)
- h5sget_select_hyper_blocklist_f: Fixed error in transposed dimension
of arrays.(MSB - 2008/9/30)
- h5sget_select_bounds_f: Swapped array bounds to account for C and
Fortran reversed array notation (MSB - 2008/9/30)
- Changed to initializing string to a blank character instead of a
null type in tH5P.f90 to fix compiling error using AIX 5.3.0
(MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Fixed missing commas in H5test_kind.f90 detected by NAG compiler
(MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Fixed passing and array to a scalar in tH5A_1_8.f90 detected by
NAG compiler (MSB - 2008/7/29)
- Added the ability of the test programs to use the status of
HDF5_NOCLEANUP to determine if the *.h5 files should be removed
or not after the tests are completed (MSB - 2008/10/1)
- In nh5tget_offset_c: (MSB 9/12/2008)
If offset was equal to 0 it returned the error code of -1,
this was changed to return an error code of -1 when the offset
value is < 0.
- Uses intrinsic Fortran function SIZEOF if available when detecting
type of INTEGERs and REALs in H5test_kind.f90 (MSB - 2008/9/3)
- Put the DOUBLE PRECISION interfaces in a separate module and
added a USE statement for the module. The interfaces are
included/excluded depending on the state of FORTRAN_DEFAULT_REAL
is DBLE_F which detects if the default REAL is DOUBLE PRECISION.
This allows the library to be compiled with -r8 Fortran flag
without the user needing to edit the source code.
(MSB - 200/8/27)
- Enable building shared library for fortran by adding the flag -fPIC
to the compile flags for versions of Intel Fortran compiler >=9
(MSB - 2008/8/26)
C++ API
------
- Fixed a design bug which allowed an Attribute object to create/modify
attributes (bugzilla #1068). The API class hierarchy was revised
to address the problem. Classes AbstractDS and Attribute are moved
out of H5Object. Class Attribute now multiply inherits from
IdComponent and AbstractDs and class DataSet from H5Object and
AbstractDs. In addition, the data member IdComponent::id was
moved into subclasses: Attribute, DataSet, DataSpace, DataType,
H5File, Group, and PropList. (BMR - 2008/05/20)
- IdComponent::dereference was incorrect and replaced as described
in "New Features" section.
