Dear all,

&nbsp;&nbsp;We are pleased to announce the release of HDFql 1.3.0. With this,  
HDFql brings support of opaque datatypes, which (among other benefits)  
allow abstraction from data details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;This version includes:  
- Support of opaque datatypes  
- Features to show objects by their creation order  
- Error reporting mechanism  
- Updated reference manual

&nbsp;&nbsp;What's next? HDFql 1.4.0 will be released soon - time to crack the  
code of the original renegade of programming languages:  
- Support of Fortran
