Could someone explain me the logic behind the version check ?
Or two sequential versions have compatible API or they don't have.
hdf5-1.8.17 and hdf5-1.8.16 both produces the same API version
usr/bin/cyghdf5-10.dll
usr/bin/cyghdf5_hl-10.dll
I don't understand the logic to state that they have the same API
but scare the users:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning! ***HDF5 library version mismatched error***
The HDF5 header files used to compile this application do not match
the version used by the HDF5 library to which this application is linked.
Data corruption or segmentation faults may occur if the application
continues.
This can happen when an application was compiled by one version of HDF5 but
linked with a different version of static or shared HDF5 library.
You should recompile the application or check your shared library related
settings such as 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.
'HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK' environment variable is set to 1,
application will
continue at your own risk.

As example of puzzled users:

I am not really a fan of rebuilding every program depending from HDF5
if the API is still compatible, it is against the reason of having a
API version.
