HDF5 1.8.13 release candidate (pre2) is available for testing

Dear HDF5 users,

A pre-release candidate (pre2) of HDF5 1.8.13 for UNIX and Windows is available for testing and can be downloaded from the following location

ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.13/pre2/

We addressed the following issues reported to this list:
   - Default CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is non standard
   - Broken dependencies for the HDF5 high-level libraries
We also discovered and fixed some C++ API 1.8.12 to 1.8.13 compatibility issues.

For those who use configure to build HDF5, the default mode is now set to "production" as it will be in the final release.

We will greatly appreciate if you test this pre-release on the platform(s) of your choice and report any problems found to this list as soon as possible. We have about a week to address the issues.

Thanks a lot for your help and support!

Elena

Dear HDF5 users,

ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.13/pre2/

The long-standing (though minor) "zero dataset read" assertion still lives here:

% ./zero_dset_read-1.8.13-rc2 zero1.8.13pre2.hdf5
zero_dset_read-1.8.13-rc2: /home/robl/work/hdf5-1.8.13-pre2/src/H5MM.c:95: void *H5MM_calloc(size_t): Assertion `size' failed.
zsh: abort (core dumped) ./zero_dset_read-1.8.13-rc2 zero1.8.13pre2.hdf5

The "unable to modify constant message" error still persists in this build. As far as both I and Google know, no one but me has seen this error.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for testing!

I am afraid the issue is not in our JIRA DB. Could you please submit it to help@hdfgroup.org or post it here? (Description and small program to reproduce would be ideal!)

Thank you!

Elena
