Purpose:
a bug fix
Description:
change PIXEL_INTERLACE to INTERLACE_PIXEL and other interlace mode description
to fit for the image specification.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene, sol2.7
Purpose:
1) fix the implementation of image according to image specfication
2) fix two bugs of SDS implemention. the first one is
to handle the unlimited SDS with the first dimensional size set to 0.
the second one is to change the way how HDF5 dataset is written.
Description:
1) mapping 24-bit image to 3D arrays instead of 2D compound datatype.
2) previously forgot considering unlimited SDS with the size set to 0.
3) H5P_set_buffer seems not working well for a extremely small size.
Solution:
1) see above.
2) add a special case to deal with this.
3) don't use H5Pset_buffer.
Platforms tested:
RedHat Zoot 6.2
Purpose:
new features
Description:
1. add an option to convert HDF4 file without HDF4 specified attributes such as
HDF4_OBJECT_TYPE, HDF4_REF_NUM etc.
it can be done by inputting "h4toh5 -na input.hdf"
The default converter will still keep HDF4 specfied attributes.
2. Add compression features (gzip) for image too. Now the compressed HDF4 image
can be supported by using HDF5 gzip. Not sure whether tools can read it. Need to be tested.
3. Change SPACEPAD to NULLTERM for HDF4 dimensional name list. We can use variable length HDF5 string to represent these names, however currently H5dump and H5view cannot support variable length HDF5 string. converter will wait for other tools' update.
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene(Red Hat 6.2) and arabica(solaris 2.7)
Purpose:
Add a constant(compression level for gzip)
Description:
For compression issue
Solution:
Platforms tested:
eirene
[machines you have tested the changed version. This is absolute
important. Test it out on at least two or three different platforms
such as Big-endian-32bit (SUN/IRIX), little-endian-32(LINUX) and
64-bit (IRIX64/UNICOS/DEC-ALPHA) would be good.]
