New Features
============
-  By default make builds C library only. Makefile-F03 can be used to build
   both C and Fortran libraries. Please notice that h5fc should use a Fortran
   compiler that has ISO_C_BINDINGS module.
                                                 EIP - 2011-12-20
-  h5hl_region.h file now includes hdf5.h

Linux (jam) 2.6.18                gcc (GCC) 4.2.1, 4.6.3
                                  Intel C and Fortran Version 12.04,12.1
                                  PGI C and Fortran Version 11.8, 11.9

Fixed Bugs
==========
* Fixed "make clean" removing *.h5 test files -- v1.1.2 (MSB 2/2013)
                             
Known Problems
==============
* 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.  Currently the Fortran High-Level Region functions are not 
  tested if 8 byte INTEGERs are used for the hdf5 library. 
* Suppressing printing the error stack reported from HL does not work.
