Purpose: Maintenance
Description: h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite_read_f functions were overloaded
with dims argument being of type INTEGER and INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
We promised to remove overloading in 1.4 release. It was
removed from documentation but not from the source code.
Solution: Finish code cleanup.
Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 32 and 64 bit, and copper with --enable-
parallel. Windows are broken, so Kent and Xuan
will test it with their changes later.
Misc. update:
API tweak.
Description:
The H5Sget_select_bounds() API call was using hsize_t arrays for retrieving
the 'start' and 'end' coordinates, which is counter to the rest of the dataspace
API.
Solution:
Change the arrays to be hssize_t instead.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/C++
FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committested
Misc. update:
Updated all docs for this change.
Added 1.4 compatibility #ifdef's
Purpose:
Maintenance
Description:
* Added support for generic properties.
* Added support for time allocation properties.
* Added support for variable length datatypes (only datatypes based
on INTEGER, REAL and CHARACTER Fortran types are supported).
* added some missing functions
Solution:
I am checking in new Fortran APIs and their man pages to support
1.5 features listed above.
Not all APIs have tests yet. APIs were written in Fall 2002, and I am afraid
that I will loose the code or totally forget what I did if I wait longer. ;-)
Platforms tested:
arabica (fortran), eirene (fortran), modi4 (parallel, fortran)
Purpose:
Bug fix, code improvement
Description:
Fortran tests didn't cleanup created files. Also HDF5_PREFIX and
HDF5_PARAPREFIX were not used to specify location of the files.
There was a redundant file in the testpar directory that contained
an error reporting function used by both serial and parallel tests.
Solution:
Created library h5test_fortran.a that contains functions used by the
serial and parallel tests. It includes Fortran and C functions that
may be called from Fortran programs to report errors, to modify
file names and to cleanup files after run. Modified test code to
use new functions.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) serial
IRIX64 (modi4) parallel with HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to $SCR
Solris 2.7 with mpich 1.2.4 with HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to /tmp/epourmal
Purpose:
Code maintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the tests.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98, Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Adding the Fortran interface to the HDF5 library
Description:
Fortran is now a subdirectory of the HDF5 library tree.
Platforms tested:
Solaris and IRIX (O2K)
