CDF Changes Log V2.0.0 11-Feb-91 Initial release of CDF V2.0. V2.1.0 7-Jun-91 Initial release of CDF V2.1. V2.1.1 25-Jun-91 Many changes/enhancements/fixes. 1. SkeletonTable now generates *.skt and *.nrv files instead of *.skeleton_table and *.nrv_data files. CDFskeleton first looks for a *.skt file. If not found, it then looks for a *.skeleton_table. 2. CDF_EPOCH was added as a data type. When reading CDFs created with previous releases (V2.1.0 and older), CDF_EPOCH will be returned as the data type when that was the intention. 3. The command line syntax for the toolkit programs was modified for more flexibility. Qualifiers, options, and parameters are now specified in the style of the host operating system. 4. File names were changed to allow portability in the future. V2.1.2 9-Aug-91 More changes but getting closer to the "official" release of V2.1 (waiting mainly for the documentation). 1. New toolkit programs/utilities - CDFwalk, CDFdir. 2. UNIX systems now use VIO. 3. Toolkit programs now exit with "status". 4. Added message logging qualifier to skeleton toolkit programs. 5. UNIX distribution now builds on DECstation/ULTRIX and SGi/IRIX. V2.1.2a 12-Aug-91 CHANGES.log renamed CHANGES.doc and added to UNIX distribution V2.1.2b 24-Sep-91 Fixed problem in CDFskeleton with CDF_UINT4 NRV values. Added /DELETE qualifier to CDFskeleton. V2.1.2c 25-Sep-91 Fixed problem in SkeletonTable with CDF_EPOCH global attribute entries. V2.1.2d 30-Sep-91 Fixed another problem in CDFskeleton with CDF_UINT4 NRV values. V2.1.3 11-Oct-91 Renamed INTERNAL interface items. CDFlist modified to allow more than 8 variables to be selected. Fixed memory leak in library. V2.1.3a 18-Oct-91 Port to IBM-RS6000 (AIX) complete. V2.1.3b 22-Oct-91 Fixed compile problem in CDFwalk on IBM-RS6000 (AIX). V2.1.4 25-Oct-91 Added and operations. Added retries to VIO. Fixed CDF name validation when opening a CDF. V2.1.4a 30-Oct-91 Modified README.doc to unconfuse things. Fixed validation of host encoding on IBM-RS6000. V2.1.4b 21-Nov-91 Changed entry point in epoch_bk (should have no effect on user applications). Clarified instructions in README.doc. Fixed labeling in CDFinquire. Removed unused status codes from cdf.h and cdf.inc. Fixed problem in SkeletonTable on VMS systems with parsing CDF path/name. V2.1.4c 3-Dec-91 CDF User's Guide (UG) completed. The UG is not included in the software distribution but is located in the documentation directory of the distribution area. V2.1.4d 4-Dec-91 Fixed problem in CDFconvert with CDF_CHAR variables. V2.1.4e 5-Dec-91 Made online help for toolkit programs consistent with CDF User's Guide. V2.1.4f 12-Dec-91 Fixed "Diff. max. var. rec. num." display. V2.1.4g 16-Dec-91 Fixed problem in SkeletonTable with NRV variables having a character string data type and a large number of elements. V2.1.5 30-Jan-92 Changed library to avoid fragmenting a single-file CDF when possible. V2.1.5a 5-Apr-92 Fixed CDFwalk (`i' option) and removed checking for fixed- length 512-byte records on VMS systems to allow CDFs on a CD-ROM to be read. V2.1.5b 6-Apr-92 Fixed CDFwalk for NDADS-phenomenon. Renamed `utility.c' (also for NDADS). V2.1.5c 17-Apr-92 Added `strstr' for SunOS 4.0.3 and fixed `qop.c' problem with `toupper' (also for SunOS 4.0.3). Removed include of `stdlib.h' from `cdfwalk.c'.
