Thanks for the link. I watched the whole press announcement. It is fantastic to 
see the discovery opens a new window into the universe. It is also beautiful 
that HDF5 is used successfully for the LIGO data.

Kind regards,

Hi Werner,

As you can guess, we are very excited here about our small contribution to this 
mind blowing discovery!

Thanks a lot for the links; visualization is amazing!  I would also like to 
thank you for support you provided to our group during all those years.

All,

The first release of HDF5 was in November 1998. Only visionaries could see the 
HDF5 potential at that time and believe that it would work many years after, 
and have so much patience with us :-)

Elena

P.S. No patch is left behind. Once again - Thank you for your patience!
