"Hide" file format changes (for now)
Description:
Add ifdef's (controlled by the --enable-group-revision configure flag)
to disable group revision changes to the file format, in order to allow alpha
release to go ahead without releasing an unsupported version into the wild.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 32-bit (heping)
Linux 2.4 64-bit (mir)
Solaris 2.9 (shanti)
bug fix
Description:
percent relative error was done using integer arythmetic; use floating point instead
added the case for unsigned long long integer to float conversion
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (32,64)
AIX
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
1) added a more explainative usage message
2) the percent relative error for the integer type (division) was being done using integer arythmetic; use floating point arythmetic instead
3) added a new test for integer percent
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux (32,64)

Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
1) the compare flag test was not being put in a correct place, making comparisons attempts that were not supposed to be done
2) some duplicate warnings were being made
Solution:
eliminate the duplicate warnings, put the if compare flag on the correct place
Platforms tested:
linux 32, 64
solaris
Misc. update:
bug fix, new features
Description:
when comparing links , the output for the number of differences found was not being done
Solution:
print it
add 3 more tests that test the output of differences for 1) groups 2) datatypes 3) links
Platforms tested:
linux
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

Platforms tested:

Misc. update:
h5diff new features
Description:
added comparison for attributes
adeded comparison for all dataset datatypes
added tests for the new features
changed the output format
Solution:
Platforms tested:
linux
solaris 5.7
IRIX 6.5 (64)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
unsigned integers were not printed out correctly
Solution:
added %u and %lu to the list of formats
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
h5diff support for long_long
Description:
added h5diff support for long_long;
No automatic test was added because
it seems that the printf format of long_long is slightly different in Linux and IRIX(modi4),
because the diff command complained about a difference in the 2 test files for long_long;
visually, it seems that in IRIX an extra space is added after the print (or maybe it is
just me that is seeing extra spaces :=)
this test is test 5.8, commented in testh5diff.sh
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
IRIX 6.5 (modi4)
Misc. update:
bug fix
Description:
the signed / unsigned comparison was not properly handled.
the fixtype function sets the sign for the memory type the same sign as found on disk
and the array_diff function only handled signed cases
Solution:
addded for each INTEGER size type an OR condition with the unsigned version
if the datatypes have different signs , comparison is NOT supported
Platforms tested:
Windows 2000 (octopus)
Linux 2.4 (rockaway)
SunOS 5.7 (arabica)
