Bernd,
Thank you very much for this report (and subversion detective work)! We
will take a look before the release and evaluate this revision and the
failing test.

Hi Mike,
I'd like to report a regression of 1.8.8-pre1 (compared to 1.8.7) on
Linux i386 with GCC 4.6.2. I get the following test failure (excerpt):

I tracked down the test failure is happend due to adding "-lbsd-compat"
in r20898 and can be fixed by applying the patch attached (which reverts
one line from r20898).
I need to note that I'm using a special build setup:
The build machine is CentOS 4.6 and I have bootstrapped GCC 4.6.2
myself. The regression does not occur when using a bootstrapped GCC
4.2.4 instead of GCC 4.6.2. Unfortunately I have no distribution handy
that ships with GCC 4.6 as the system compiler (like openSUSE 12.1
will). It is entirely possible that the issue I am reporting is specific
to the combo RHEL4/GCC4.6.
Best regards,
Bernd

Hi all,
A pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.8 is available for testing
and can be downloaded at the following link:
http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.8-pre1/
If you have some time to test this, we would greatly appreciate it.
While we test on a wide variety of platforms, there are many systems and
setups that we are unable to test on, and feedback from the user
community is quite welcome.
Of particular interest in this maintenance release is the introduction
of several additions to the Fortran interface:
-- Fortran wrappers for the Dimension Scales APIs were added. See
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc_test/H51.8docs/HL/RM_H5DS.html for
the subroutines signatures.
-- Fortran interface was enhanced to support the Fortran 2003
standard. The release provides a wider set of Fortran and
HDF5 datatypes such as
- any kind of INTEGER or REAL
- Fortran derived types
- Fortran and HDF5 enumeration
- HDF5 variable-length datatypes
- HDF5 compound datatypes of any complexity
It also contains new subroutines corresponding to the C functions
with the callback functions as parameters. For general overview and
information
on how to enable these new features please see "New Features in the
HDF5 Fortran Library: Adding support for the Fortran 2003 standard"
paper posted
at
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc_test/H51.8docs/fortran/index.html. You
may download HDF5 Fortran 2003 examples (names have F03 suffix) from
http://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/examples/examples-by-api/api18-fortran.html
We would appreciate feedback from the community on these additions.
Please note that while the release notes contained in the pre-release
are reflective of the new features and bug fixes present in this
release, the platforms tested and tested configurations sections still
need to be updated with our current testing configurations and are not
reflective of this pre-release candidate at this time.
We plan to release HDF5 1.8.8 mid-November barring the discovery of any
critical issues.
Thank you!
The HDF Group
