Bug fix
Description:
Fixed bugs that caused tests to be unable to find testhdf5.sh during
daily tests, and another that broke sol and shanti.
Solution:
When tests are run, their path is ./$testname .
When scripts are run, their path has no leading "./". Fixed.
Sol and shanti don't recognize the -e option for test, but they do know
-f. Fixed.
Also modified release notes.
Platforms tested:
mir, shanti, heping
Bug fix
Description:
When a series of files is mounted on one another and one of those files
is not unmounted, the library gets confused at shutdown and goes into an
infinite loop in the file interface.
Solution:
If there are still files left in the "closing" state when shutting down
the file API, iterate over those file IDs and unmount any child files that we
find mounted on those files.

Feature: tests now use parallel make and only run once
Description:
When make is invoked in parallel (using the -j option), several tests will
now be run simultaneously. This should speed up testing on a number of
systems.
When a test passes, it creates a foo.chkexe or foo.chksh file, which prevents
the test from running again unless the test or library changes.
Solution:
Most of the changes live in config/conclude.am. Added *.chkexe and *.chksh
files to the list of files to be cleaned at "make mostlyclean" time.
Parallel tests still run one at a time, but use the same make instructions
as serial tests.
Platforms tested:
mir, eirene, sleipnir, pommier, copper, modi4 (some errors occurred, probably
due to the test being run before updating hdf5. Will re-run tests after
checkin.)
Description:
For the definition of the macro H5T_CONV_Xx_CORE, added a condition branch
(else if (*((ST*)S) == (DT)(D_MAX))) which seems redundant.
It handles a special situation when the source is "float" and assigned the value
of "INT_MAX". A compiler may do roundup making this value "INT_MAX+1". However,
when do comparison "if (*((ST*)S) > (DT)(D_MAX))", the compiler may consider them
equal.
Platforms tested: fuss - simple change.
Interim checkin of code changes moving management of the is_dirty flag
into the cache code.
Description:
Prior to this checkin, management of the is_dirty flag was handled
above the level of the metadata cache. This can no longer be allowed,
as it introduces a race condition in the proposed fix for a cache
coherency bug in PHDF5.
Solution:
Move management fo the is_dirty flag to the cache code proper.
Entries are now marked as dirty via a flag on the unprotect call.

Misc. update:
Description: See details from Bug #213. Family member file size wasn't saved
anywhere in file. When family file is opened, the first member size determine
the member size.
Solution: Hopefully, this is the last step of checkin for this stage. This step
mainly enables h5repart tool to be able to convert file driver from family to
sec2. Because the library saves family information in file, in trying to convert
to sec2 driver, the library simply change the address of driver information to
undefined so that the driver information block can be ignored. This step also
updates the reference manual of H5Pset_fapl_family() and h5repart.
In the fifth step of checkin, backward compatibility with v1.6
is tested. A family file created was created with the v1.6 library and opened
with this version of the library.
In the fourth step of checkin, a test suit is added for h5repart,
including a program to generate the test files, a script file to run h5repart,
and a program to verify repartitioned files can be opened by the library.
There's a change from the first step of checkin. Family name template is no
longer saved in the superblock because different pathname can make the name
different.
In the third step of checkin, h5repart has been modified. If h5repart is used
to change the size of family member file, the new size(actual member size) is saved
in the superblock.
In the second step of checkin, multi driver is checked against the driver
name saved in superblock. Wrong driver will result in a failure with an error message
indicating
multi driver should be used. This change includes split driver because it's a special
case for multi
driver.
In the first step of checkin. Family member size and name template(unused at this stage) are saved
in file superblock. When file is reopened,the size passed in thrin superblock. A different size
will trigger a failure with an error message indicating the right size. Wrong driver to open family
file will cause a failure, too.

Description: After recent fix of family driver bug(#213), some failure
was discovered on sol and kelgia in daily test. Family files can't be

destination size of "off_t" type wasn't passed in through H5Pset()
correctly.

variable of "hsize_t" type and pass in to H5Pset().

Description:
Setting "SEMI" or "STRONG" file close degrees causes problems when multiple
file IDs exist for the same file on disk.
Solution:
Make the "SEMI" and "STRONG" settings only apply to the file ID that is
being closed.
Also, add an "H5F_OBJ_LOCAL" flag for the H5Fget_obj_count() &
H5Fget_obj_ids() calls, so that applications can query about objects opened
with a particular file ID instead of all the objects opened in the file on
disk.

New feature.
Description:
Add "memory pool" internal data structure. This set of routines is
designed to add a way to allocate small pieces of information for a particular
purpose and then free all the pieces at once (i.e. without having to free each
piece individually). Memory pools are also good for localizing lots of small
allocations that logically belong together.
For example, if you were constructing a temporary linked list, you could
create a new memory pool, allocate all the nodes for the list from the memory
pool and when you were done with the list, just destroy the pool instead of
tracking through the list and freeing each block independently.
