Purpose:
Adding files to CVS that support the PDF-creation process.
Description:
Adding files to CVS that support the PDF-creation process.
h4toh5_RM_TOC.html and h4toh5_UG_TOC.html provide tables of contents.
The *.book files guide HTMLdoc in the production of the PDF files.
(The HTMLdoc-produced PDFs are then merged and massaged to produce
the distribution copies.)
Platforms tested:
Produced under WindowsXP.
Output PDFs merged and viewed in Adobe Acroba...
Purpose:
Add two documents, "Programmer's Notes" and "Mapping HDF4 Objects to
HDF5 Objects," to the UG and RM navigation bars.
Change "Release 1.2" date to August 2004 (from July).
Platforms tested:
Mozilla (with Acrobat Reader)
Purpose:
Revise "Limitations: Compression" discussion.
Description:
The "Compression" portion of the "Limitations" section in the H4toH5
library user's guide is extended to describe the following:
-- optional compression configurations
-- differences in available compression algorithms in HDF4 and HDF5
-- H4toH5 library's mapping of HDF4 compression methods to
compression of HDF5 objects
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
Add navigation bar to H4toH5 Conversion Library UG and RM.
Merge recent HTML modifications with PDF-supporting code,
while fixing some of the PDF-supporting code to play
nicely with the browser.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla, IE 5
Purpose:
Add navigation bar to H4toH5 Conversion Library UG and RM.
Finish "Parameters" formatting in RM.
Merge recent HTML modifications with PDF-supporting code,
while fixing some of the PDF-supporting code to play
nicely with the browser.
Update release number and date (Release 1.2, July 2004)
Platforms tested:
Mozilla, IE 5
Purpose:
Update copyright notices
Description:
Updated copyright notices in most files to be consistent and
in the style used in HDF5.
In cases where a copyright notice is appropriate but was missing,
added a copyright notice in the style used in HDF5.
Platforms tested:
All changes should be within comments, so no tests were run.
Purpose:
Handling presence/absence of GZIP/SZIP
Description:
h4h5 tools now reflect that HDF4 can be configured with or without szip,
and HDF5 can be with szip, without szip, or with szip but without szip's
encoder. Tests that would fail are skipped and warning messages are
printed when HDF5 doesn't have a filter that HDF4 does.
Solution:
Configure script detects filters when it is run to modify test scripts,
and the h4h5 library checks them before it sets them in a property list.
Platfor...
Purpose:
Adding this document to CVS in .doc and .pdf formats:
HDF4 to HDF5 Conversion Library: Programmer's Notes
The .doc is for editing, the .pdf for distribution.
Purpose:
Primarily, formatting the parameter descriptions to match
the style of the HDF5 RM, development branch.
[Task is about 2/3 done.]
Other minor formatting adjustments.
No technical changes.

Bug fix
Description:
h5toh4 tests failed on SV1 and OSF1. It turned out that
ttable.h5 contained "some weird" data with exponents -44 for float data
and -315 for double data. On OSF1 the data caused floating exception for hdp,
on SV1 data was completely screwed up during H5 read and H4 write operations.
Solution:
Replaced the file with the new one that has reasonable data. Also
used short for one of the fields datatypes instead of int, since the old

Purpose:
Bug fix
Description:
h5toh4 tests failed on SV1. It turned out that
SDsetdimscale call was failing due to the wrong size of the data buffer.
Dimension scale was not converted and shell script reported the difference
between the actual data and the expected output.
Solution:
File datatype instead of memory type was used to calculate the size of the
data buffer. Used memory type.
Platforms tested:
SV1, arabica
Purpose:
Bug fix/CVS cleanup
Description:
On OSF1 build failed with the weird error messages about missing <stdio.h> file.
It turned out that it was caused by extra " " on the AM_CPPFLAGS line in the
Makefile.am (in) files.
Solution:
Removed " " from Makefile.am and regenerated Makefile.in
Platforms tested:
OSF1, eirene with gcc 3.3.2
Purpose:
Bug fix/CVS cleanup
Description:
On eirene, SV1 and OSF1 build failed complaining about the wrong version of the
GNU tools on the system. This was caused by the acinclude.m4 file in the top
directory.
Makefile.dist is a file from the old-old distribution, should be removed.
The rest of the files are modified during autoconf, automake.
Solution:
acinclude.m4 is not needed; removed
Platforms tested:
OSF1, eirene with gcc 3.3.2
Purpose:
Coding changes to enable automatic generation of PDF versions
of H4toH5 UG and RM

hdf5.
Solution:
Change the compile process to use h4cc instead of h5cc, so need to
specify location of hdf5 instead of hdf4.

Purpose:
Further removal of hdf4 specific path info
Description:
@HDF4PATH@ not set in configure so not passed
Solution:
Since we're saying that h4cc will be used to compile h4h5tools
the path to the hdf4 utilities (specifically hdp) are already
known to the h4cc and don't need to be specified.

Description:
Since hdf4 bumps its version from 415 to 420; all projects of h4h5tools need to be updated
to reflect this change. Moreover, since szip, zlib and jpeg are moved out of hdf4, extra libraries
names need to be added to reflect this move on windows.

HDF4 implicitly supports SDS with array rank 0(A scalar value)(no documentation specified);
NetCDF also supports this. H4toh5 converter didn't consider this effect.

2. Add several if else blocks to make the rank 0 case convertable. In the mean time,
also find several bugs related to HDF4 product; file the bug report already.
