      event that errors occur.

   o The testh5edit.sh script no longer fails with an output mismatch error
      when h5edit is built with HDF5-1.8.9. Please note that with this change
      h5edit 1.1.0 is not backward compatible with HDF5 releases prior to
      HDF5-1.8.9.

This version:

     product.
