If you have time to test this release candidate, we would greatly appreciate it. We test HDF5 on a variety of platforms and with multiple compilers, but there is always a system that we couldn't test on. Your feedback is critical.
We have decided to streamline our release process for this release of HDF5 1.8 software. For those who use autotools to build HDF5, the default configuration build mode for this distribution is "production", as it will be for the official release. For the last several releases we have released a pre1 version with default build mode "development" followed by a switch to default build mode "production" for a pre2 version and for the official release. This was done to catch any bugs that are exposed in "development" mode but not in production mode. The same purpose can be satisfied with only one pre-release version (and one download) by building and testing the software a second time with the additional configure option "--disable-production". Please test both build modes if possible.
Your prompt reports of any issues found will be invaluable and very much appreciated. Thank you and happy testing!
Larry

The final release is scheduled to be finished by Friday June 16. We expect that we would be able to incorporate minor fixes due to issues reported Monday or Tuesday of next week without delaying the release. Major issues would either delay the release or require a patch release. We do appreciate reports of issues whenever they are available (but as soon as possible).
Thanks,
Larry

Building on cygwin with shared lib I found that the propagation
of no-undefined and LIBADD is broken in several points.
Before sending a patch, any reason why the libdyn libs are
now installed ?
not installed in 1.8.18
usr/lib/cygdynlib1.dll
usr/lib/cygdynlib2.dll
usr/lib/cygdynlib3.dll
usr/lib/cygdynlib4.dll

This is a side effect of trying to get the libararies properly created for the intended test - where the library does not link to any other libraries. The dynamic library loading requires that the test library not be linked or contain any dependent libraries.
We continue to work on finding a solution.
