I attached the complete header include directory that I'm using to build HDF5DotNet with HDF5 v1.8.5. There is a file called changes.txt which lists the files that have changes. If you have a diff program like BeyondCompare, you can diff the whole directory to see the updates. The changes are essentially a "#ifndef HDF5_DOT_NET" statement before the public prototypes and function declarations (with matching "#endif" statement afterwards). The reason for it is that they are declared in the .NET wrappers as external calls to the C library, so the compiler thinks there are two definitions. The update should still allow normal compiling, but would then allow simply dropping in new headers when compiling the HDF5DotNet library. It would be fantastic if that was incorporated in a future release. It would certainly make updating that much easier.
