Release of h5check 2.0.1
A new release of the HDF5 Format Checker, h5check version 2.0.1, is now
available. This version was tested with HDF5-1.8.7 and HDF5-1.6.10.
The h5check home page is located at:

The h5check utility can be downloaded from The HDF Group Downloads page
under "HDF5 Standalone Tools":
http://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/index.html#tools
The h5check utility is a validation tool for verifying that an HDF5
file is encoded according to the HDF File Format Specification. Its
purpose is to ensure data model integrity and long-term compatibility
between evolving versions of the HDF5 library.
Release of h5edit 1.0.0
The first release of the HDF5 file editor, h5edit version 1.0.0, is now
available for download from The HDF Group Downloads page under
"HDF5 Standalone Tools":
http://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/index.html#tools
It can also be obtained from the JPSS Project Download page:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/projects/npoess/jpss_downloads.html
The h5edit utility is a general tool for editing HDF5 files from the
command line. The first release only supports commands for the creation
and deletion of attributes of datasets and groups. Future releases will
include support for more commands and other HDF5 objects.

This tool "augments" or adds modifications to Joint Polar Satellite
System (JPSS) product files so that they conform to the netCDF-4 data
model and can be readable by netCDF-4 tools. The h5augjpss utility
is *not* a general tool, but may be of interest to others in the HDF
community.
