Common Changes
CLDR 30.0.2: For details of the many changes in CLDR, see CLDR 30. Some things to note:
For some combinations of numbering system (arab, arabext, latn) and/or locale (ar, fa, he), there were changes to the bidirectional control characters used with certain symbols (percent, minus, plus), and changes to number patterns (currency and/or percent, including addition of bidirectional control characters in some cases).
New in this release, the bidirectional controls used for such purposes include U+061C ARABIC LETTER MARK (ALM), which requires use of the bidirectional algorithm from Unicode 6.3 or later.
The time separator for Norwegian locales (nb, nn) was changed to be ':' throughout.
Unicode 9.0: Version 9.0 adds exactly 7,500 characters, for a total of 128,172 characters. These additions include six new scripts, 19 symbols for the new 4K TV standard, and 72 new emoji characters.
Draft Emoji 4.0 data
Emoji updates for word & line breaking. (#12664 & Unicode 9 update #12526)
UBiDiTransform/BidiTransform API for convenient transformation of text between different Bidi layouts. (#11679)
MeasureFormat API for measurement unit display names. (#12029)
Most COUNT and LIMIT enum constants have been deprecated. (#12420)
SpoofChecker: Handling of "whole script confusables" has been removed from ICU, in accordance with its removal from UTS #39 Version 9.0.0 and the removal of the corresponding Unicode data file. (#12549)
Greek uppercasing ("el" locale ID) removes most diacritics. (#5456)
More robust locale data loading across ICU implementation code.
Reduced heap memory usage in DateTimePatternGenerator. (#11782)
ICU4C Specific Changes
The layout engine code has been removed; the ParagraphLayout is not deprecated and remains (and must now be built on top of HarfBuzz). See http://userguide.icu-project.org/layoutengine (#12708)
Windows: Supports & requires Visual Studio 2015.
Solves:
/usr/libexec/binutils225/elf/ld.gold: error: cannot find -lreadline
The missing specification is obvious on DragonFly because there's
no publically accessible version of readline in base.
slibtool is an independent reimplementation of the widely used libtool,
written in C. slibtool is designed to be a clean, fast, easy-to-use
libtool drop-in replacement, and is accordingly aimed at package authors,
distro developers, and system integrators. slibtool maintains compatibility
with libtool in nearly every aspect of the tool's functionality as well as
semantics, leaving out (or turning into a no-op) only a small number of
features that are no longer needed on modern systems.
PulseAudio builds on DragonFly but doesn't function correctly (one
core spins at 100% and sound still doesn't work. PA has been banished
from DPorts, so follow suit here.
New Features
============
Configuration
-------------
- CMake: Added NAMESPACE hdf5:: to package configuration files to allow
projects using installed HDF5 binaries built with CMake to link with
them without specifying the HDF5 library location via IMPORTED_LOCATION.
(ADB, 2016/10/17, HDFFV-10003)
- CMake: Changed the CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION option to
CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE as recommended by the CMake documentation.
(ADB, 2016/10/17, HDFFV-9971)
- CMake: Added support for GIT
(ADB, 2016/07/12)
Bug Fixes since HDF5-1.8.17
===========================
Configuration
-------------
- Fixed a problem preventing HDF5 to be built on 32-bit CYGWIN by
condensing cygwin configuration files into a single file and
removing outdated compiler settings.
(ABD, 2016/07/12, HDFFV-9946)
- CMake: Fixed a command length overflow error by converting custom
commands inside CMakeTest.cmake files into regular dependencies and
targets.
(ABD, 2016/07/12, HDFFV-9939)
- CMake: Fixed a timeout error that would occasionally occur when running
the virtual file driver tests simultaneously due to test directory and file
name collisions.
(ABD, 2016/09/19, HDFFV-9431)
Library
-------
- Fixed a memory leak that would occur when the library allocated memory
for an external file prefix (H5Pset_efile_prefix) and failed to free it.
(DER, 2016/04/29)
- Fixed an error that would occur when calling H5Adelete on an attribute
which is attached to an externally linked object in the target file and
whose datatype is a committed datatype in the main file.
(VC, 2016-07-04, HDFFV-9940)
- Fixed a problem where a plugin compiled into a DLL in the default plugin
directory could not be found by the HDF5 library at runtime on Windows
when the HDF5_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable was not set.
(ABD, 2016/08/01, HDFFV-9706)
- Fixed an issue where H5Pset_alignment could result in misaligned blocks
with some input combinations, causing an assertion failure in debug mode.
(NAF, 2016/08/11, HDFFV-9948)
- A number of issues were fixed when reading/writing from/to corrupted
files to ensure that the library fails gracefully in these cases:
* Writing to a corrupted file that has an object message which is
incorrectly marked as sharable on disk results in a buffer overflow /
invalid write instead of a clean error message.
* Decoding data from a corrupted file with a dataset encoded with the
H5Z_NBIT decoding can result in a code execution vulnerability under
the context of the application using the HDF5 library.
* When decoding an array datatype from a corrupted file, the HDF5 library
fails to return an error in production if the number of dimensions
decoded is greater than the maximum rank.
* When decoding an "old style" array datatype from a corrupted file, the
HDF5 library fails to return an error in production if the number of
dimensions decoded is greater than the maximum rank.
(NAF, 2016/10/06, HDFFV-9950, HDFFV-9951, HDFFV-9992, HDFFV-9993)
- Fixed an error that would occur when copying an object with an attribute
which is a compound datatype consisting of a variable length string.
(VC, 2016-10-17, HDFFV-7991)
Parallel Library
----------------
- Fixed a bug that could occur when allocating a chunked dataset in parallel
with an alignment set and an alignment threshold greater than the chunk
size but less than or equal to the raw data aggregator size.
(NAF, 2016/08/11, HDFFV-9969)
Performance
-------------
- None
Tools
-----
- Fixed an error in the compiler wrapper scripts (h5cc, h5fc, et al.)
in which they would erroneously drop the file argument specified via
the -o flag when the -o flag was specified before the -c flag on the
command line, resulting in a failure to compile.
(LRK, 2016/06/08, HDFFV-9938, HDFFV-9530)
- h5repack User Defined (UD) filter parameters were not parsed correctly.
The UD filter parameters were not being parsed correctly. Reworked coding
section to parse the correct values and verify number of parameters.
(ADB, 2016/10/19, HDFFV-9996, HDFFV-9974, HDFFV-9515, HDFFV-9039)
Fortran API
-----------
- Fortran library fails to compile and fails tests with NAG compiler.
* Removed the non-standard assumption that KIND=SIZEOF, in the HDF5
configure programs.
* Removed Fortran 66 character/integer conversions from tests.
* Removed the use of C_SIZEOF in the test programs
* Changed to using STORAGE_SIZE in the test programs if available. Otherwise,
uses C_SIZEOF or SIZEOF.
(MSB, 2016/9/22, HDFFV-9973)
- Fortran segfaults for F03 tests with NAG compiler
* Removed INTENT(OUT) from 'fillvalue' in F2003 interface
for H5Pget_fill_value_f.
(MSB, 2016/9/22, HDFFV-9980)
C++ API
-------
- The macro H5_NO_NAMESPACE is deprecated from the HDF5 C++ API library.
In future releases, the macros H5_NO_STD and OLD_HEADER_FILENAME may
also be removed.
(BMR, 2016/10/27, HDFFV-9532)
High-Level APIs:
---------------
- The high-level API Packet Table (PT) did not write data correctly when
the datatype is a compound type that has string type as one of the
members. This problem started in 1.8.15, after the fix of HDFFV-9042
was applied, which caused the Packet Table to use native type to access
the data. It should be up to the application to specify whether the
buffer to be read into memory in the machine’s native architecture.
Thus, the PT is fixed to not use native type but to make a copy of the
user's provided datatype during creation or the packet table's datatype
during opening. If an application wishes to use native type to read the
data, then the application will request that. However, the Packet Table
doesn't provide a way to specify memory datatype in this release. This
feature will be available in future releases, HDFFV-10023.
(BMR, 2016/10/27, HDFFV-9758)

Known Problems
==============
* On windows platforms in debug configurations, the VFD flush1 tests will fail
with the split and multi VFD drivers. These tests will display a modal debug
dialog which must be answered or wait for the test timeout to expire.
(ADB - 2014/06/23 - HDFFV-8851)
* CLANG compiler with the options -fcatch-undefined-behavior and -ftrapv
catches some undefined behavior in the alignment algorithm of the macro DETECT_I
in H5detect.c (Issue 8147). Since the algorithm is trying to detect the alignment
of integers, ideally the flag -fcatch-undefined-behavior shouldn't to be used for
H5detect.c. In the future, we can separate flags for H5detect.c from the rest of
the library. (SLU - 2013/10/16)
* Make provided by Solaris fails in "make check". Solaris users should use
gmake to build and install the HDF5 software. (AKC - 2013/10/08 - HDFFV-8534)
* The C++ and FORTRAN bindings are not currently working on FreeBSD with the
native release 8.2 compilers (4.2.1), but are working with gcc 4.6 from the
ports (and probably gcc releases after that).
(QAK - 2012/10/19)
* The following h5dump test case fails in BG/P machines (and potentially other
machines that use a command script to launch executables):
h5dump --no-compact-subset -d "AHFINDERDIRECT::ah_centroid_t[0] it=0 tl=0"
tno-subset.h5
This is due to the embedded spaces in the dataset name being interpreted
by the command script launcher as meta-characters, thus passing three
arguments to h5dump's -d flag. The command passes if run by hand, just
not via the test script.
(AKC - 2012/05/03)
* The STDIO VFD does not work on some architectures, possibly due to 32/64
bit or large file issues. The basic STDIO VFD test is known to fail on
64-bit SunOS 5.10 on SPARC when built with -m64 and 32-bit OS X/Darwin
10.7.0. The STDIO VFD test has been disabled while we investigate and
a fix should appear in a future release.
(DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-8235)
* h5diff can report inconsistent results when comparing datasets of enum type
that contain invalid values. This is due to how enum types are handled in
the library and will be addressed in a future release.
(DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-7527)
* The links test can fail under the stdio VFD due to some issues with external
links. This will be investigated and fixed in a future release.
(DER - 2011/10/14 - HDFFV-7768)
* After the shared library support was fixed for some bugs, it was discovered
that "make prefix=XXX install" no longer works for shared libraries. It
still works correctly for static libraries. Therefore, if you want to
install the HDF5 shared libraries in a location such as /usr/local/hdf5,
you need to specify the location via the --prefix option during configure
time. E.g, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/hdf5 ...
(AKC - 2011/05/07 - HDFFV-7583)
* The parallel test, t_shapesame, in testpar/, may run for a long time and may
be terminated by the alarm signal. If that happens, one can increase the
alarm seconds (default is 1200 seconds = 20 minutes) by setting the
environment variable, $HDF5_ALARM_SECONDS, to a larger value such as 3600
(60 minutes). Note that the t_shapesame test may fail in some systems
(see the "While working on the 1.8.6 release..." problem below). If
it does, it will waste more time if $HDF5_ALARM_SECONDS is set
to a larger value.
(AKC - 2011/05/07)
* Shared Fortran libraries are not quite working on AIX. While they are
generated when --enable-shared is specified, the fortran and hl/fortran
tests fail. the issue. HL and C++ shared libraries should now be
working as intended, however.
(MAM - 2011/04/20)
* While working on the 1.8.6 release of HDF5, a bug was discovered that can
occur when reading from a dataset in parallel shortly after it has been
written to collectively. The issue was exposed by a new test in the parallel
HDF5 test suite, but had existed before that. We believe the problem lies with
certain MPI implementations and/or file systems.
We have provided a pure MPI test program, as well as a standalone HDF5
program, that can be used to determine if this is an issue on your system.
They should be run across multiple nodes with a varying number of processes.
These programs can be found at:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/known_problems/
(NAF - 2011/01/19)
* All the VFL drivers aren't backward compatible. In H5FDpublic.h, the
structure H5FD_class_t changed in 1.8. There is new parameter added to
get_eoa and set_eoa callback functions. A new callback function
get_type_map was added in. The public function H5FDrealloc was taken
out in 1.8. The problem only happens when users define their own driver
for 1.6 and try to plug in 1.8 library. Because there's only one user
complaining about it, we (Elena, Quincey, and I) decided to leave it as
it is (see bug report #1279). Quincey will make a plan for 1.10.
(SLU - 2010/02/02)
* The --enable-static-exec configure flag will only statically link libraries
if the static version of that library is present. If only the shared version
of a library exists (i.e., most system libraries on Solaris, AIX, and Mac,
for example, only have shared versions), the flag should still result in a
successful compilation, but note that the installed executables will not be
fully static. Thus, the only guarantee on these systems is that the
executable is statically linked with just the HDF5 library.
(MAM - 2009/11/04)
* A dataset created or rewritten with a v1.6.3 library or after cannot be read
with the v1.6.2 library or before when the Fletcher32 EDC filter is enabled.
There was a bug in the calculation of the Fletcher32 checksum in the
library before v1.6.3; the checksum value was not consistent between big-
endian and little-endian systems. This bug was fixed in Release 1.6.3.
However, after fixing the bug, the checksum value was no longer the same as
before on little-endian system. Library releases after 1.6.4 can still read
datasets created or rewritten with an HDF5 library of v1.6.2 or before.
(SLU - 2005/06/30)
Features:
save_pdf now supports crop marks! These are lines drawn in the margins of a PDF file to help you cut. These can be enabled by setting crop_marks: true in your save_pdf call. Can be further customized with crop_margin_bottom, crop_margin_left, crop_margin_right, crop_margin_top, crop_marks, crop_stroke_color, crop_stroke_dash, and crop_stroke_width (#123)
Squib.configure allows you to set options programmatically, overriding your config.yml. This is useful for Rakefiles, and will be documented in my upcoming tutorial on workflows.
Squib.enable_build_globally and Squib.disable_build_globally are new convenience methods for working with the SQUIB_BUILD environment variable. Handy for Rakefiles and Guard sessions for turning certain builds on an off. Also will be documented in upcoming workflow tutorial.
The import methods csv and xlsx now return Squib::DataFrame, which behaves exactly as before - but has more cool features like being able to do data.name instead of data['name']. Also: check out data.to_pretty_text. Check out the docs. (#156)
Bugs:
showcase works as expected when using backend: svg (#179)
Graphics will get flushed upon exit, so working under Guard with backend: svg is more reliable (#180)
Docs:
Wrote out documentation for Squib and GameIcons
Wrote out documentation for Hello World! Dissected
Un-submoduled our samples and simply embedded them into the docs (e.g. Squib Thinks in Arrays). Lots of cleanup there
Wrote up Squib in Action, which documents other Squib projects. Ask for yours to be put there!!
Chores:
Bumped dependency roo to 2.5.1. Nothing that affects Squib users (probably).
Bumped graphics and text dependencies (cairo to 1.15.3, pango+rsvg et al. to 3.1.0). No new features for us, but some stability improvements.
Linking lapack with the gold linker fails with this error:
fatal error: --sysroot=: must take a non-empty argument
DragonFly has been using the gold linker by default for a while now.
Since I don't have time to track down this linking problem, I'm going
to restore the build on DragonFly by setting an environment variable
that forces DF to use the classic GNU linker instead.
This was already fixed on math/blas which uses the lapack common
makefile, so just relocate the fix to lapack.

I believe the segfault seen during building on DragonFly is a common one
seen by many platforms using GCC 5.x and later. It's been fixed on Emacs
25 though. Even though it's a generic GCC 5+ fix, limit it to DragonFly
only for now. Taken from DPorts (from archives)
The old USB headers were removed long ago and I don't think this 3rd party
USB library is functional on DragonFly anymore (even if it were buildable,
which its not). I'm wondering if this is not also the case for FreeBSD?
Any important software that depends on libusb (SDL2?) will need to
support the base libusb.so in DragonFly (and FreeBSD?).
Linking blas with the gold linker fails with this error:
fatal error: --sysroot=: must take a non-empty argument
DragonFly has been using the gold linker by default for a while now.
Since I don't have time to track down this linking problem, I'm going
to restore the build on DragonFly by setting an environment variable
that forces DF to use the classic GNU linker instead.
At this point in time, I don't know if BLAS is unique or if LAPACK
and others need the same workaround. If the latter, this variable
may need to be moved to the common LAPACK makefile.
