Configuration
-------------
- Added a configuration option to change the default plugin path.
The configure option is --with-default-plugindir=location.
The cmake option is -DH5_DEFAULT_PLUGINDIR:PATH=location.
HDFFV-8513. (ADB 2013/09/04)
- Renamed FFLAGS to FCFLAGS in configure. (ADB 2013/08/13)
- CMake can now package a compressed examples file, the default for
Windows binaries from HDF Group. (ADB - 2013/07/22)
Tools
-----
- h5repack: Added the ability to use plugin filters to read and write
files. The option uses the filter number. HDFFV-8345
(ADB - 2013/09/04).
- h5dump: Added the option -N --any_path, which searches the file for
paths that match the search path. HDFFV-7989 (ADB - 2013/08/12).
- h5dump: Added the optional arg 0 to -A, which excludes attributes
from display. HDFFV-8134 (ADB - 2013/08/01).
C++ API
-------
- Added tutorial examples to C++/examples. They can be installed by
"make install-examples" and, in the installed directory, they can be
executed by running the script file run-c++-ex.sh. (BMR - 2013/09/28)
- A new class, H5::H5Location, is added to represent the location concept
in the C library. It is a base class to H5::H5File and H5::H5Ojbect,
whose member functions are moved into H5::H5Location. H5::H5File can
now inherent those functions. As a result, an H5::H5File object can have
an attribute. (BMR - 2013/09/27)
- Added wrappers for H5Rget_obj_type2 to retrieve the type of the object
that an object reference points to. (BMR - 2013/09/27)
H5O_type_t H5Location::getRefObjType(void *ref, H5R_type_t ref_type)
- Added wrappers for H5Aexist to check whether an attribute exists given
a name. (BMR - 2013/09/27)
bool H5::H5Location::attrExists(const char* name)
bool H5::H5Location::attrExists(const H5std_string& name)
- Added a number of overloaded functions for convenience. (BMR - 2013/09/27)
