Hello everyone, A second pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.16 is available for testing and can be downloaded at the following link:
https://gamma.hdfgroup.org/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.16-pre2/ The HDF5 1.8.16-pre2 pre-release candidate has 2 changes from HDF 1.8.16-pre1: * The default production mode has been switched from development to production. * The three issues that prevented building HDF5 1.8.16-pre1 with Visual Studio 2015 were addressed; Visual Studio 2015 will build the pre2 release candidate. Thank you to Marco Atzeri and Sean McBride who reported test results from Cygwin 64 bit and on Mac 10.8 - 10.10 and Windows 8. The Mac errors seem to involve flags that we don't test. A Jira issue will be created specifying the flags with which the tests fail or produce errors to be addressed as possible. Any patches to be considered will be welcomed. If you have time to test this release candidate, we would greatly appreciate it. We try our best to test HDF5 on a variety of platforms and with multiple compilers, but there is always a system that we couldn't test on. Your feedback is critical. If there are no problems reported next week that will seriously impair the operation of HDF5 1.8.16, we will proceed with the final 1.8.16 release expected by November 15. CMake fans will need CMake 3.1 or greater to build HDF5-1.8.16. The shared library version numbers for lib.so.* files in HDF5-1.8.16-pre1 have been updated according to libtool's versioning system and the changes in symbols from HDF5-1.8.15-patch1. The API compatibility report is at this link: https://gamma.hdfgroup.org/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.16-pre2/interface_compatibility_report. The effect on the numbers from HDF5-1.8.15-patch1 to HDF5-1.8.16 was to increase libhdf5.so.10.0.1 to libhdf5.so.10.1.0, libhdf5_cpp.so.10.0.1 to libhdf5_cpp.so.11.0.0, and all other wrapper library files from libhdf5*.so.10.0.1 to libhdf5*.so.10.0.2. Your reports are invaluable and very much appreciated. Thank you and happy testing! Larry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Larry Knox The HDF Group http://hdfgroup.org 1800 So.
