bug fixes
Description:
the return error code for a function was not initialized.
in HP-UX it happened that this variable was initialized to -1
causing the function to return with an error condtion
solution : initialized the variable to 0
the name of the dataset was printed after the differences in verbose mode
and report when differences were found
solution : check first if differences were found and then
print the name of dataset and differences
in verbose mode always print the name first
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
HP-UX
solaris
AIX
Misc. update:
h5diff and h5repack changes
Description:
h5diff
introduced the following four modes of output:
Normal mode: print the number of differences found and where they occured
Report mode: print the above plus the differences
Verbose mode: print the above plus a list of objects and warnings
Quiet mode: do not print output (h5diff always returns an exit code of 1 when differences are found)
h5repack
added an extra parameter for SZIP filter (coding method)
the new syntax is
-f SZIP=<pixels per block,coding>
(pixels per block is a even number in 2-32 and coding method is 'EC' or 'NN')
Example of use:
./h5repack -i file1 -o file2 -f SZIP=8,NN -v
updated usage messages, test scripts and files accordingly

Misc. update:
dumper new feautures
Description:
1) added options for not printing : datasets, groups, datatypes, links
2) added a section for the user block
3) in the traversal routine, added the printing of an arrow for soft links and the word HARDLINK for hardlinks
the print of the file contents is made during traversal , instead of at the end of it (this is helpful
for very large files, where the wait time can be very long)
4) changed the description of the fill value properties
5) added a colon after the printing of the array indices
