🔆 Executive Summary: HDF5 Version 2.2.0
Important
- The format of the GitHub tag for HDF5 releases has been changed to Major.Minor.Patch, consistent with the versioning policy change to follow the Semantic Versioning Specification described in this Wiki page. The previous tag format hdf5_Major_Minor_Patch that was created in addition for the 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 releases will not be continued.
- An RPM package is not provided for this release of HDF5 as an issue with the package was found during testing. The HDF Group is investigating alternative packaging methods for future releases.
