-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0924 2009-12-01 17:50:27 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name : hdf5 Product : Fedora EPEL 5 Version : 1.6.10 Release : 1.el5 URL : http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/ Summary : A general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data Description : HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific data. HDF5 can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is a structure for organizing objects in an HDF5 file. Using these two basic objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF5 files according to your needs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:

Update to 1.6.10. - Embedded HDF5 Library Settings Information Library settings are now embedded in an HDF5 executable so that an “orphaned” executable can be queried (via the Unix strings command, for example) to display the library settings used to build it. The embedded settings information is the same as that normally found in the libhdf5.settings file. This capability may be disabled with the use of the --disable-embedded-libinfo flag during configure. Function with Changed Interface or Behavior H5check_version now displays embedded library information (see above) if a version mismatch is detected. The function has also been changed to suppress the warning message entirely if $HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK is set to 2 or higher. - New C++ Member Functions New C++ member functions are provided to determine a dataset’s or attribute’s data size in memory: size_t DataSet::getInMemDataSize() const size_t Attribute::getInMemDataSize() const The size in each case is in bytes. - Tool with Changed Interface or Behavior h5diff has one new option: --use-system-epsilon With this option, h5diff returns a difference if and only if the difference between two data values exceeds the system value for epsilon (that is, if |a-b| > epsilon). The tool’s default behavior has also changed; without this option, the tool now checks for strict equality. This option has no short form. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
