C++ API:
--------
- Added overloaded functions read and write to H5::Attribute.
BMR - 2003/04/21
- Added an overloaded constructor H5::StrType so the need to separately
set the length of the string type can be eliminated. BMR - 2003/04/21
- Added overloaded functions read and write to H5::DataSet.
BMR - 2003/04/27
The following items were added but not documented in previous releases:
- On windows, any application, that uses the C++ API dll, must
include the name HDF5CPP_USEDLL in its project setting. (Feb 17, 2002)
BMR - 2003/10/10
- Added missing default constructor H5::H5File. (Apr 26, 2002)
BMR - 2003/10/10
- Added new member function H5::DataSet::fillMemBuf per the new C
API H5Dfill, which fills the elements in a selection for a memory
buffer with a fill value. (May 16, 2002) BMR - 2003/10/10
- Added the new member function getMemberIndex to H5::EnumType
and H5::CompType to match the new C API H5Tget_member_index. Given
the name of a member of an enumeration or compound datatype, this
new function queries the index of the member. (May 16, 2002)
BMR - 2003/10/10
- Added these member functions to H5::Group per the new C functions
H5Gget_num_objs, H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx:
+ getNumObjs: Returns the number of objects in the group.
+ getObjnameByIdx: Retrieves the name of an object in a group,
given an index
+ getObjTypeByIdx: Returns the type of an object in a group,
given an index

- Fixed incorrect datatype of the third parameter to the Fortran90

- Fixed problems with accessing variable-length data datatypes on
Crays. QAK - 2003/10/10
- Fixed potential file corruption bug when too many object header
messages (probably attributes, from a user perspective) were
inserted into an object header and certain other conditions were
met. QAK - 2003/10/08
- Changed implementation of internal ID searching algorithm to avoid
O(n) behavior for many common cases. QAK - 2003/10/06
- Allow partial parallel writing to compact datasets. QAK - 2003/10/06
- Correctly create reference to shared datatype in attribute, instead
of making a copy of the shared datatype in the attribute.

MPI-I/O file driver on certain platforms. QAK - 2003/09/16

Documentation
-------------
- Added two missing Fortran APIs (h5pget_fapl_mpiposix_f and
h5pset_fapl_mpiposix_f) to the reference manual.
FMB - 2003/10/15
- Corrected the reference manual descriptions of H5open/h5open_f and
H5close/h5close_f to indicate that these calls are required in
Fortran90 applications. FMB - 2003/10/15
Documentation
=============
Fortran90 APIs are being integrated into the main body of the
HDF5 Reference Manual (RM). This process is complete in all RM sections
except H5P.
A PDF version of the RM will be posted on the HDF5 website
(at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/doc/PSandPDF/) approximately one week
after the release.

Known Problems
==============
* PGI C++ compiler fails when compiling the C++ library's tests.
Therefore, we cannot verify that the C++ library built with the PGI C++
compiler is correct.
* Fortran subroutine h5pget_driver_f doesn't return a correct driver information.
The fix willl be available in the 1.6.2 release.
* There are two h5dump xml tests(h5dump --xml thlink.h5 and h5dump --xml tmany.h5)
failed on windows xp with .NET for debug and debug dll. Release and Release
dll work fine.
* The h5dump tests may fail to match the expected output on some platforms
(e.g. parallel jobs, Windows) where the error messages directed to
