Public bug reported: hdf5-1.8.2 is the latest release from the hdf5 group. Version 1.8 still provides the ability for programs to be compiled against the 1.6 api, so backwards compatibility should not be a major issue. Programs compiled against the 1.8 can take advantage of a host of new features, which I have been using on my fedora and gentoo systems. I would like to continue development on my kubuntu laptop, but this is not possible with hdf5-1.6.x. Is there any chance version 1.8 could be included in juanty?
