Description: I run bin/release to create an hdf5-1.6.1 release tar
ball. Now I am checking in modified files before
tagging the release.
Solution: N/A
Platforms tested: N/A
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Description:
index.html: Added link to PDF version of RM, to be posted approximately
one week post-release
RM_H5Front.html: Added note describing Fortran API integration into main RM
Added link to PDF version of RM, to be posted approximately one week
post-release
RM_H5?.html and RM_H5.html (except RM_H5P.html):
Removed notes that Fortran APIs are described in a separate window
RM_H5P.html: Added note that Fortran API integration is complete
throughout RM except in H5P
Solution:
Platforms tested:
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Added section for R1.6.1
Listed new functions:
H5Fget_freelist
h5pset_fapl_mpiposix_f *
h5pget_fapl_mpiposix_f *
(* With note that these functions were new in 1.6.0
but undocumented.)
Listed functions with changed sytax:
H5Gget_obj_info -- changed struct
h5fset_cache_f -- parameter change
And a copy edit in the 1.6.0 section where that release was
referred to as 'Release 1.5'.
Platforms tested:
Safari, IE 5
Purpose:
Expand H5open/h5open_f and H5close/h5close_f descriptions
to indicate that these two calls are mandatory in Fortran90
applications (though optional in C).
Platforms tested:
Safari, IE 5
Purpose:
Integrate Fortran90 interfaces into C RM.
(Cleanup pass for H5A and H5D, initially checked in last week.)
Solution:
Remove "Non-C APIs" sections.
Add "Fortran90 Interfaces" sections with F90 descriptions.
Platforms tested:
IE 5, Safari
Purpose: Bug fix
Description: Type of the third argument to the h5pset(get)_cache_f subroutines
was incorrect (INTEGER instead of INTEGER(SIZE_T)).
I was confused while doing my previous change since
fortran docs were wrong, and the type of the same argument in
1_4 branch is INTEGER. I forgot to check carefully #if def for
1_4 branch in the C code, and encountered only int type for the
corresponding C functions. Since Fortran doesn't support
backward compatibility, type of the argument should be
always in sync with the latest branch.
Solution: ALWAYS, ALWAYS pay attention to compiler's warning.
Fixed type to be INTEGER(SIZE_T).
Platforms tested: kelgia, copper 64-bit mode, solaris 2.7 64-bit mode.
Misc. update:
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)
