[MINC-users] MINC and supporting HDF5 1.8.x

[Sean McBride]

Hi all,

There have been many posts on this list about the fact that MINC
requires HDF5 1.6.x not 1.8.x.  Is this still so?  If so, will it be
rectified?

Just today, 1.8.4 and 1.6.10 were released:
http://www.hdfgroup.org/newsletters/newsletter109.html

Notice that it says:
"HDF5 1.6.10 is the LAST RELEASE of HDF5 1.6"

The HDF folks say "1.8 libraries should work seamlessly with the
applications written for 1.6 and earlier. Please see "API Compatibility
Macros in HDF5" document for more information
http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/APICompatMacros.html 
Please let us know about any problems you encounter when using 1.6
application with 1.8 (and later)."

So what's the status of MINC and HDF5 1.8?

Thanks,

--
