State of HDF5 Documentation - Call the Doctor 4/22/25

A committee of employees from The HDF Group have been working on improving documentation over the last several months. During the Call the Doctor session on Tuesday 4/22, several committee members will talk about the changes we’ve made, the decisions we’ve made, future plans for improving documentation, and how to let us know about any issues you might find.

To join, just jump on the zoom:

You can watch the recording from last week’s Call the Doctor on the State of HDF5 Documentation:

In this session, we talked about some changes we have made to HDF5 Documentation at https://support.hdfgroup.org, and some upcoming changes.

One of the things that has been implemented since this session is that what we call “latest” internally–the documentation at https://support.hdfgroup.org/documentation/hdf5/latest/ now reflects content from the develop branch instead of being locked to the last release. If there are changes, this content is rebuilt daily. This allows us to take a living documentation approach, treating documentation as a dynamic, continuously evolving resource.

Please let us know if you have any questions, but know that we’re chugging along on making the documentation more user-friendly.
