Fixed Bugs
==========
* Fixed fortran bug: If an 8 byte INTEGER flag was used in the compilation of
  the hdf5 library which is used to compile Fortran High-Level Region library,
  then the Fortran routine H5LRmake_dataset_f will return an array of region
  references that will be incorrect due to an interoperability mismatch of
  hdset_reg_ref_t_f between C and Fortran. (MSB 4/2013, JPSS-63)

  NOTE NEW REQUIREMENT: HDF5 library must now be built using options
                        --enable-fortran --enable-fortran2003.
                             
Known Problems
==============
* Suppressing printing the error stack reported from HL does not work. (JPSS-153)
