Release of HDF5-1.10.0-pre1 ===========================
The HDF5-1.10.0-pre1 release is now available. We would highly appreciate any feedback regarding it, as we will be releasing HDF5-1.10.0 at the end of March. PLEASE be aware that when building HDF5 the SWMR feature is on by default. You must be on a local file system or a parallel file system like GPFS to use the SWMR feature, as it requires write ordering to be preserved. Most network file systems (NFS, SMB/Windows file share, etc.) do not guarantee write ordering. The HDF5-1.10.0-pre1 release can be obtained from The HDF Group Downloads page: https://www.hdfgroup.org/downloads/ It can also be obtained directly from: https://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5110.html New Features in this release are described here: https://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtain5110.html#newfeat The release notes include complete details on what is new in this release: https://www.hdfgroup.org/ftp/HDF5/releases/hdf5-1.10/hdf5-1.10.0-pre1/src/hdf5-1.10.0-pre1-RELEASE.txt HDF5-1.10.0-pre1 contains the following changes as well as those included in the alpha0 and alpha1 releases: o Integration of Java HDF5 JNI into HDF5 The Java HDF5 JNI library has been integrated into the HDF5 source code repository.

Several new APIs have also been added, including those for VDS and SWMR. o Many changes have been made to the HDF5 configuration, including: - The --with-default-api-version=v18 configure flag has been added to build HDF5-1.10 using the HDF5-1.8 APIs. - The autotools configuration options have been updated to allow more control over build options and to correct some bugs. - Changes were made in how autotools handles large file support (LFS).
