1.7.0: Modern CMake & readAttributeInfo

This release adds modernized CMake scripts including CMake config packages on install with targets. A new readAttributeInfo method was added to the DataCollector for save reading of types and extents of attributes. On reads, the offset in DataContainer for non-zero offsets in domains was fixed. Due to a bug in upsteam CMake, at least version 3.10.0 of CMake is required now.

For a full list of changes, please refer to the CHANGELOG.md.

Lets the SerialDataCollector write global attributes to "/" by default, too.
Follow-up to the change in libSplash 1.3.0 for the ParallelDataCollector. The internal file format is now 4.0.

1.3.1: readMeta Bug Fixes

This release contains bug fixes for the new readMeta API and serveral internal code clean-ups.
A ParallelDataCollector example was added. The internal file format stayed with 3.3.

1.3.0: openPMD Types and h5py

Release 1.3.0 adds functionality for users to fulfil formatting for openPMD. Support for array attributes, strings/chars, bools and further h5py compatibility have been added. Additionally, read functionality has improved by new meta calls to determine type and size of a data set before reading.

This release contains a bug fix for parallel reads where some ranks read NULL data and fixes a compile issue on Red Hat 4.4./Scientific Linux 6.

1.2.3: Entry and Group Listings

1.2.2: Fix Internal Version Number

That release was necessary since we forgot to bump the version number in <splash/version.hpp> with the last release.

1.2.1: Non-Extensible Data Sets

This is a patch level release of libSplash, version 1.2.1

We changed the default formatting for data sets to be non-extensible in all modes but append.
This updates the internal file format to version 2.1 which is as always backwards compatible with the file's major version (all 2.x formatted files).
