Hello everyone,
A pre-release candidate version of HDF5 1.8.15 is available for testing
and can be downloaded at the following link:
http://www.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/ftp/pub/outgoing/hdf5/hdf5-1.8.15-pre3/
This is a maintenance release that has many bug fixes, (hopefully!)
reduced number of compiler warnings and updated autotools. CMake fans
will need CMake 3.1 to build HDF5-1.8.15. For more information see
RELEASE.txt

Hi Elena,
two points:
1) For a Maintenance only why a ABI bump ?
HDF5 is the only package, I am aware of, that in averages
bump the ABI every 2 releases. This time two bumps in the row.
2) I wasted some time to discover this change
## Disable shared libraries on CYGWIN. (LK - 04/16/15)
## A number of tests run by "make check" fail on CYGWIN, so for HDF5 v1.8.15
## we will change the default for shared libraries to disabled.
...
This seems, in my humble opinion, a questionable approach.
I am running tests with shared libraries re-enabled and
I will look on these new failures.
Thank you and happy testing and reporting!
Elena
