Not recent enough. I think that was the version where I found the bug for 
Darwin systems which limited it to 4GB data sets. That version is also about 
2-3 years old. HDF5 1.8.13 is the latest. 1.8.14 is coming out in few weeks.

PS: We are just trying to get everyone to build ParaView on their systems. The 
issue with the SuperBuild is that you can not seem to set an "external" hdf5 
build. It will always use the bundled version.
