File Corruption Bug in HDF5-1.4.5 ================================= A critical file corruption bug was found in HDF5-1.4.5, which can cause metadata to not be written to a file. If you are using HDF5-1.4.5, please upgrade to HDF5-1.4.5-post2 as soon as possible. We will NOT be providing pre-compiled binaries for HDF5-1.4.5-post2. We are also not removing the pre-compiled binaries for HDF5-1.4.5, so be aware that this problem exists in these binaries. The HDF5-1.4.5-post2 source code can be obtained from the HDF5 web page at: http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF5/ To access the source code directly from the NCSA ftp server, go to: ftp://ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu/HDF/HDF5/current/src/ This problem will be fixed in the HDF5-1.6 release which is due out in May. We will be providing pre-compiled binaries for HDF5-1.6. Please contact hdfhelp@ncsa.uiuc.edu if you need help building the software.
