HDF5 1.8.7 release candidate is available for testing

Hi all,

A pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.7 is available for testing, and can be downloaded at the following link:

http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.7-pre1/

If you have some time to test this, we would greatly appreciate it. While we try to test on a wide variety of platforms, there are many systems and setups that we are unable to test on, and feedback from the user community is always welcome.

Please note that while the release notes contained in the above link are reflective of the new features and bug fixes present in this release, the platforms tested, tested configurations, and known issues sections still need to be updated and are not reflective of this pre-release candidate.

We plan to release HDF5 1.8.7 in mid-May barring the discovery of any critical errors, so please report any problems or difficulties with this release candidate before then.

Thank you!

The HDF Team

Hi Mike,

is there a chance that new H5Oget_info2 method (we discussed it
with Neil in March on this list) be included in 1.8.7?

Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately, it won't be included in the 1.8.7 release, as it's still in the early stages of development. It's possible it will be included in the 1.8.8 release in November, but there are still some unknowns we need to pin down about how exactly it is to function. Neil is probably better suited to speak to some of the specifics for this particular feature.
