Name        : hdf5

Version     : 1.6.10
Release     : 1.el5

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.
