      * Changed the error handling for a not found path in the find         plugin process.
      * Fixed CVE-2018-11202, a malformed file could result in chunk         index memory leaks.
      * Fixed a file space allocation bug in the parallel library for         chunked datasets.
      * Fixed an assertion failure in Parallel HDF5 when a file can't         be created due to an invalid library version bounds setting.
      * Fixed an assertion in a previous fix for CVE-2016-4332.
      * Fixed segfault on file close in h5debug which fails with a core         dump on a file that has an illegal file size in its cache image.
        Fixes HDFFV-11052, CVE-2020-10812.
      * Fixed memory leaks that could occur when reading a dataset from         a malformed file.
      * Fixed a bug in H5Ocopy that could generate invalid HDF5 files
      * Fixed potential heap buffer overflow in decoding of link info         message.
      * Fixed potential buffer overrun issues in some object header         decode routines.
      * Fixed a heap buffer overflow that occurs when reading from         a dataset with a compact layout within a malformed HDF5 file.

      * Fixed memory leak when running h5dump with proof of         vulnerability file.
      * Added option --no-compact-subset to h5diff.

      * Fix CVE-2021-37501
      * Fixed an issue with variable length attributes.

      * Fix h5repack to only print output when verbose option is         selected.

    Fixes since 1.10.9:

      * Several improvements to parallel compression feature,         including:
        - Improved support for collective I/O (for both writes and           reads).
        - Reduction of copying of application data buffers passed to           H5Dwrite.
        - Addition of support for incremental file space allocation           for filtered datasets created in parallel.
        - Addition of support for HDF5's 'don't filter partial edge           chunks' flag
        - Addition of proper support for HDF5 fill values with the           feature.
        - Addition of 'H5_HAVE_PARALLEL_FILTERED_WRITES' macro to           H5pubconf.h           so HDF5 applications can determine at compile-time whether           the feature is available.
        - Addition of simple examples
      * h5repack added an optional verbose value for reporting R/W         timing.
      * Fixed a metadata cache bug when resizing a pinned/protected         cache entry.
      * Fixed a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the         H5check_version function.

      * Fixed several potential MPI deadlocks in library failure         conditions.
      * Fixed an issue with collective metadata reads being permanently         disabled after a dataset chunk lookup operation.
