Feature add
Description:
Add a few new fields to the H5G_stat_t structure, to allow more information
about the object header to be retrieved.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Add feature
Description:
Add H5Fget_freespace() routine, to check the amount of free space in a
file. This information is only valid until the file is closed currently,
however (until we start recording the free space information in the file
itself).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug/feature fix.
Description:
Relax restriction on parallel writing to compact datasets to allow partial
I/O.
Updated reference manual mentioning the issues involved.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
too minor to require h5committest
Added the entry of document of the three basic performance tools.
The information was provided by Robb long time ago.
Platforms tested:
eyeballed.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Modifications to enable automatically generating a PDF version of the
HDF5 Reference Manual with HTMLdoc.
Description:
The HTML coding has been revised to provide necessary formatting and
control guidance for HTMLdoc. In the process, of course, the need for
an occasional formatting or copy-edit correction was discovered.
Platforms tested:
HTMLdoc, IE 5, Safari
Purpose:
PDF_RM_body.book (the body of the RM)
PDF_RM_front.book (RM frontmatter: title page, (c) notice, TOC)
Configuration files for use by HTMLdoc in generating a PDF version
of the HDF5 Reference Manual.
RM_Title.html
RM_TOC.html
Reference manual title page and table of contents for use in the
above-mentioned PDF versions.
Description:
The files PDF_RM*.book contain configuration notations and the list
files to be included in each book.
The 2 *.html files are just HTML-coded text for generating the
respective pages.
Platforms tested:
Tested with HTMLdoc.
These files aren't used with and don't afffect anything else and
they are not distributed to users.
Code cleanup, etc.
Description:
Generalize Ray's datatype fixes to handle packing compound datatypes which
are the base type of an array or variable-length type, etc.
Also track "packedness" of a compound datatype from it's creation, instead
of only setting the 'packed' flag after the datatype was explicitly packed.
Updated docs to reflect that a compound datatype is allowed to grow (but
not shrink).
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug Fix and code cleanup
Description:
Correct error in H5T_detect_class that was causing nested compound datatypes
with to not detect the datatype class of fields correctly, which caused errors
with fill-values, variable-length datatypes and chunks later on.
Return the rank of the array datatype from H5Tget_array_dims(), like
H5Sget_dims().
Lots of cleanups to datatype code, to make the handling of arrays, compound
types, variable-length strings and sequences and enumerated types more
consistent and robust.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
H5Gget_objname_by_idx should allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, to allow
for querying for the name's length.
Solution:
Allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, the internal functions were already
ready to handle that case.
Clean up RM information about H5Gget_objname_by_idx and
H5Gget_objtype_by_idx also.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir)
h5committest
Description: I created released tar ball with bin/release; now I am commiting
files that were updated by the script before tagging the release.

the shuffle algorithm and its influence on performance, fill values
and space allocation, and error detection.
Platforms tested:
