+Release information for parallel HDF5
+-------------------------------------
+
+) Current release supports independent access to fixed dimension datasets
+   only.
+
+) The comm and info arguments of H5Pset_mpi are not used.  All parallel
+   I/O are done via MPI_COMM_WORLD.  Access_mode for H5Pset_mpi can be
+   H5ACC_INDEPENDENT only.
+
+) This release of parallel HDF5 has been tested on IBM SP2 and SGI
+   Origin 2000 systems.  It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface
+   for parallel I/O supports.
