While we're off for the holidays, enjoy this audio recording of the session, "State of HDF5 and New Features" from Dana Robinson (Director of Software Engineering) and Neil Fortner (Chief HDF5 Software Architect), presented at the August 2023 HDF5 User Group meeting held in Ohio.

Dana talked about some changes being made: the HDF5 Working Group meetings, the Sustaining Engineer of the Week, centering development on GitHub and the need for external Codeowners, a new process for Change management, and some of the HDF5 issues and development work we plan to focus on.

Neil talked about new features being added to HDF5: Multi Dataset I/O, Selection and Vector I/O, and the Subfiling VFD.

Note: At the end when we took questions from the audience, you'll find the audio is not that great. We apologize for that. Later sessions recorded during this event were better.

You can watch the recording of this session on youtube, and also access Dana's slide deck and Neil's slide deck if the audio experience isn't doing it for you.

Call the Doctor is a series of weekly, unscripted, live events! The HDF Group’s staff members will answer attendee questions and, for example, go over the previous week’s HDF Forum posts. The HDF Clinics are free sessions intended to help users tackle real-world HDF problems from a common cold to severe headaches and offer relief where that’s possible. As time permits, we will include how-tos, offer advice on tool usage, review your code samples, teach you survival in the documentation jungle, and discuss what’s new or just around the corner in the land of HDF.

Join us every Tuesday at 12:20 p.m. central (US/Canada.) on Zoom!
