32-bit distribution -- runs on 32-bit systems or 64-bit systems with 32-bit
JRE
* Linux
* Mac Intel
* Solaris
* Windows
64-bit distribution -- runs on 64-bit systems with 64-bit JRE
* Linux x86_64

* Mac Intel
* Solaris 64-bit
Major Improvements
------------------
* Memory leak fixed in the HDF-Java native.

These functions can be very useful for checking memory leaks for
applications.

and region references.
* Added find/search dataset from HDFView.
* Added user option to open a file directly with read-only mode.
* It now shows unsigned 64-bit integer.
* It supports netcdf3 files for the NETCDF module
(ncsa.hdf.object.nc2.NC2File).
Major Bug Fixes
---------------
* HDFView: Incorrectly displays data-type: character array
* HDFView: if change palette then flip image, original colorscale is used
* Local version of HDFView doc has broken links etc.
* HDView: indices changed between 2.3 and 2.4. Why?
* HDFView does not show preceding spaces for attribute values that begin
with spaces

array
* HDF4 object package failed on reading data
* Incorrect Size of variable length dataset

* H5Sselect_hyperslab parameter order in header comment is wrong
* High dim label is wrong
* 16-bit and 32-bit images do not scale properly if set range
* Use better memory allocation in HDF4 JNI to avoid crash on OutOfMemory
error on large dataset.
* Show some HDF-EOS attributes stored in HDF4 vdata.
* Fix a problem of displaying information for HDF4 vdata without name.
* Add HDF-Java logging levels to HDF5 JNI and set default level to
