We have addressed some additional issues exposed during the previous round of release candidate testing, including fixing an important bug in the scale-offset compression filter. The bug caused big-endian machines to generate corrupt data when using the scale-offset filter on floating point datasets or on datasets with fill values. Such datasets will no longer be readable by this and future versions of the HDF5 library. The current workaround for such files is to remove the filter by using the h5repack utility in version 1.8.5-patch1 or earlier, and then to repack the file with the h5repack utility in version 1.8.6. Please let us know if you have a lot of archived data that used the scale-offset filter and the "h5repack" workaround is not a practical solution.
If you have some time to test this tar-ball, it would be greatly appreciated. If there are no critical errors reported, we hope to release around mid-February.

Hello,
nothing overly critical, but there's a small bug in the apple configure
behaviour, see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28253. The patch there should
also work for config/apple of 1.8.6-pre3.
Cheers,
Daniel

Thank you, all!

On cygwin the test are almost all passed.
If you are interested for all the details I uploaded a copy of "make
-i check" output on

Thank you! We have entered the bug into our database.
If you need shared libraries, just use
./configure --enable-cxx
Fortran is OFF by default (but of course, disabling it shouldn't cause static-only build :-), will fix)
