New Features and Changes:
========================
o The following Vdata routines were added:
VSsetblocksize/vsfsetblsz -- sets the block size of the
linked-block element.
VSsetnumblocks/vsfsetnmbl -- sets the number of blocks for
a linked-block element.
VSgetblockinfo/vsfgetblinfo -- retrieves the block size and the number
of blocks of a linked-block element.
o Two routines were added to get compression information for the SD and
GR interfaces, including chunked elements: SDgetcompress/sfgcompress
and GRgetcompress/mggcompress.
Note:
- For a JPEG image, GRgetcompress only returns the compression type, not
the compression information (i.e, quantity and force_baseline). This
information is not currently retrievable.
- Getting compression type for JPEG chunked images is not working yet.
o "hdp dumpgr" has a new option, -pd, to print palette data only. Also,
whenever option -p or -pd is given, only palettes are printed, and no
images or file attributes.
o A new FORTRAN function, heprntf (HEprint), was added. It takes two
arguments: file name and level. If the file name string has 0 length,
then error messages will be printed to standard output.
o A memory leak in the netCDF portion of the HDF/mfhdf distribution
was fixed.
o The "#define NULL" was removed since ANSI C compilers are required to
define NULL.
o When using "hdp dumpgr", data was being printed in the range of 0-250
when it should have been between 0-168. This problem is now fixed.
