I compiled the release candidate on win8 and win7 using VS 2012 (vs11), all went smoothly, comiled right out of the box (with parallel enabled and without). I ran tests on win8 and got 2169 pass, 1 fail Results are here. http://cdash.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/index.php?project=HDF518&date=2013-04-22
Great job. One thing. I had a discussion on the cmake list about what to do about transitive linking and would like to make one small change to the hdf5 cmake before the next full release. If Parallel IO is enabled, any project using hdf5 also needs to pull in mpi includes and link to mpi lib. I'd like to add these to the hdf5-config.cmake when it is installed so that a project using hdf5 will pick up the mpi settings automatically. Currently, the user needs to add this stuff to their cmakelists to handle the case when mpi is used, but sometimes this can be tricky. My use case is when paraview uses system hdf5 and it has mpi enabled, one needs to modify netcdf, xdmf, exodus, ... and a few other subprojects I can't remember to pick up the MPI settings and it is quite painful. If the hdf5-config added them automatically life would be much easier Any objections?

We try to test on a wide variety of platforms and environments but are unable to test everywhere so feedback from the user community is always welcome. Please note that while the release notes contained in the pre-release are reflective of the changes and additions present in this release, the 'platforms tested' and 'tested configurations' sections have yet to be updated for this version of HDF5. We plan to release HDF5 1.8.11 in mid-May barring the discovery of any critical issues. Thank you!
