HDF5 HL_REGION version 1.1.3 released on Tue Dec 9 13:21:10 CST 2014 This document describes HDF5 High-Level REGION library version 1.1.3 If you have any questions or comments, please send them to the HDF Help Desk: help@hdfgroup.org CONTENTS - New Features - Platforms Tested - Fixed Bugs - Known Problems New Features ============ - Windows support was added by the use of CMake, JPSS-150/135, MSB - 10/30/2014 - CMake support was added for *nix builds JPSS-149/135, MSB - 5/3/2014 - A prefix option was added for make to allow for the installation directory to be specified. MSB - 9/24/2014 - Made library forward compatible with future version of HDF5 MSB - 10/30/2014 - Building Fortran HDF5 High-Level APIs was changed from using a separate Makefile to specifying an optional make parameter 'enable-fortran=true'. MSB - 12/4/2014 Platforms Tested ================ This library was tested with HDF5 1.8.14 Linux (platypus) 2.6.18 (x86_64) gcc and gfortran (GCC) 4.4.7 CentOS release 6.6 Intel C and Fortran Version 14.02 PGI C and Fortran Version 13.7-0 Linux (koala) 2.6.18 (x86_64) gcc and gfortran (GCC) 4.8.2 CentOS release 5.11 Intel C and Fortran Version 14.02 Linux (jam) 2.6.18 (i686) gcc and gfortran (GCC) 4.8.2 CentOS release 5.11 Intel C and Fortran Version 14.02 PGI C and Fortran Version 13.7-0 Linux (ostrich) 2.6.32 (ppc64) gcc and gfortran (GCC) 4.4.7 RHEL release 6.6 IBM XL C 13.1 and Fortran 15.1 Darwin (kite) 12.5.0 (x86_64) Apple LLVM version 5.1 and gfortran (GCC) 4.8.2 Intel C and Fortran Version 14.0 Darwin (quail) 12.2.0 (x86_64) Apple LLVM version 6.0 and gfortran (GCC) 4.8.2 Intel C and Fortran Version 14.0 Windows 7 Visual Studio 2012 w/ Intel Fortran 14 (cmake) Windows 7 x64 Visual Studio 2012 w/ Intel Fortran 14 (cmake) Windows 8.1 Visual Studio 2013 w/ Intel Fortran 14 (cmake) Windows 8.1 x64 Visual Studio 2013 w/ Intel Fortran 14 (cmake) Fixed Bugs ========== * Fixed fortran bug: If an 8 byte INTEGER flag was used in the compilation of the hdf5 library which is used to compile Fortran High-Level Region library, then the Fortran routine H5LRmake_dataset_f will return an array of region references that will be incorrect due to an interoperability mismatch of hdset_reg_ref_t_f between C and Fortran. (MSB 4/2013, JPSS-63) NOTE NEW REQUIREMENT: HDF5 library must now be built using options --enable-fortran --enable-fortran2003. Known Problems ============== * Suppressing printing the error stack reported from HL does not work. (JPSS-153)
