H5Dcreate may fail if there has been an error in setting up the DCPL.
Description:
To make sure that it is well noted in Relelase 1.6.3, this is a
first cut at a generalized description of this potential failure.
An improved description of the problem remains on the "To Do" list.

Purpose:
In "Intro to HDF5" Example #5, corrected the anticipated output listed in
a code comment.
Fixes Bugzilla entry #112.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
Removed second versions of h5dread_f and h5dwrite_f, as that version
of the FORTRAN subroutine is no longer required and has been removed
from the API.
This closes Bugzilla entry #92, which complained of a parameter
description error in the second version.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
H5Pset_szip -- major rewrite
H5Dcreate -- added a note regarding SZIP
Description:
H5Pset_szip -- Rrestructured and rewrote H5Pset_szip Description and
Notes to explain SZIP usage more completely, to capture limitations
and potential pitfalls, to offer a tunign suggestion, and to
segregate discussion of SZIP parameters that may be of interest to
users familiar with SZIP in other environments.
Updated parameter discussion in Description and Parameter sections.
Described ways in which erroneous SZIP setup can cause H5Dcreate
to fail.
H5Dcreate -- Added note to see the H5Pset_szip RM entry if H5Dcreate
fails and SZIP compression is to be used with the dataset.
Platforms tested:

updated documentation and usage message
Description:
updated the html documentation for the new h5diff modes
added a section for h5repack
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug Fix
Description:
If an HDF5 file grows larger than its address space, it dies and is unable to
write any data. This is more likely to happen since users are able to change
the number of bytes used to store addresses in the file.
Solution:
HDF5 now throws an error instead of dying. In addition, it "reserves" address
space for the local heap and for object headers (which do not allocate space
immediately). This ensures that after the error occurs, there is enough address
space left to flush the entire file to disk, so no data is lost.
A more complete explanation is at /doc/html/TechNotes/ReservedFileSpace.html
Platforms tested:
sleipnir, copper (parallel), verbena, arabica, Windows (Visual Studio 7)
Misc. update:
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: H5_SZIP_CHIP_OPTION_MASK was deleted from the list
of the available parameters for the H5Pset_szip function.
Solution: Updated Fortran source, tests and documentation
to reflect this change.
Platforms tested: arabica (too small for h5committest)
Misc. update:
Purpose:
To more carefully describe the behavior of H5Pset_external.
Description:
Add notes that first H5Pset_external call sets the dataset as EXTERNAL
and identifies the first file in the series of external files that
will hold the dataset; subsequent calls identify additional files;
all external files must be declared before the dataset is created;
and the library will create files that don't yet exist on the system
at the time that H5Dwrite is called to write data to that file.
Also a few copy edits.
