Announcing the release of version 4.7.2 of the Silo Library
This release is to correct a couple critical problems with the 4.7.1
release. The 4.7.1 release has
been removed from the web site and uninstalled from LLNL systems.
Again apologies for the problems in the 4.7.1 release. This release has
been tested and valgrind'd
against its own test suite as well as with VisIt 1.12 and VisIt 2.0.
Silo 4.7.2 is link-time compatible with 4.7.1 except for codes using
DB_LONG_LONG. This is
because the way DB_LONG_LONG was being handled in the Silo header file
had to change
to correct a problem with it.
Critical bugs fixed in this release
- DB_LONG_LONG is no longer mapped to DB_LONG on platforms where
sizeof(long)==sizeof(long long).
- The problem where centering for Quadvars was always being treated
as node
centered was corrected.
- A UMR in handling of arrays of strings in multi-block objects was
corrected.
Other bugs fixed in this release
- Diffing data of different type in browser is now commutative.
- Default formats for printing long and long long data in base 8/16
were corrected.
- Missing diffing parameters for long long type were added.
- Some leaks and a memory error were corrected in a couple of tests.
- Overlap of src/dst in a strcpy in PDB was fixed.
