1. The file states that:
NOTE:
We are no longer actively supporting MinGW as of 1.8.5.
2. It is not tested for v1.8.11.
3. If we ever supports it again, it can be "restored" from previous
release (e.g. v1.8.10).)
HDFFV-8214 - h5repack failed converting small chunked dataset (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.
Description:
h5repack failed converting small chunked dataset (size < 1K) to contiguous layout.
The first case was when chunk dim is bigger than the dataset dim (at leat one), h5repack failed with displaying error stacks.
The other case is when chunk dim is smaller than the dataset dim, h5repack failed to change layout.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), emu (solaris-BE),fred (mac64-LE), Windows (32-LE cmake), cmake (jam)
HDFFV-7643 - h5diff - incorrect exit-code returns for extra attribute exist
Description:
h5diff: Fixed to return correct exit code 1 when detect unique
attribute. Prior to this fix, h5diff returned exit code 0 indicating
two files are identical.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), fred (mac64-LE), emu (solaris-BE), Windows (32-LE cmake), cmake (jam)
Since this is a testing code error that does not affect the function of the
library or tools, I started a new "Testing" section for this sort of changes.
Description:
Adds 2 new API functions, H5Dscatter and H5Dgather. H5Dscatter retrieves data
from a specified callback function and scatters it into a selection, defined by
a supplied dataspace, within a supplied memory buffer. H5Dgather gathers data
from a selection within a supplied memory buffer and passes it in a contiguous
form to a supplied callback function. Added tests for these functions
Tested: jam, ostrich, koala (h5committest); ummon
HDFFV-8145 h5diff slowness with version >= 1.8.7
Description:
Improved speed when comparing HDF5 files with lots of attributes. Much slower performance was identified with release version from 1.8.7 to 1.8.10 compared to 1.8.6.
Tested:
jam (linux32-LE), koala (linux64-LE), ostrich (linuxppc64-BE), tejeda (mac32-LE), Windows (32-LE cmake), cmake (jam)
