Hi, I suppose you might be interested to see the results of backward binary compatibility tests for libhdf5 [1]. I've got the request from Debian maintainers to add this library to the tracker. Hope it may be useful for you too.
I see the one very dangerous change in the libhdf5 binary interface between 1.8.5 and 1.8.6 versions [2], but the soname was not bumped: the value of H5T_ORDER_NONE member has been changed from 3 to 4 in the H5T_order_t enumeration type (i.e. old apps execute H5T_ORDER_MIXED instead of NONE). BTW The tests were performed by the ACC tool [3].
