-HDF5 for Debian
----------------
-
-Some general notes for developers: since 1.8 series HDF Group deprecates
-enabling the thread-safe option for the C library and at the same time
-supporting C++ and Fortran bindings. Those options cannot cohexist for
-safety because non C libraries wrapper are not thread-aware.
-Debian GNU/Linux still support a C thread-safe library and the alternative
-bindings, but it does not imply that the Debian distributed C++ and Fortran
-are thread-safe.
-
-For short: DO NOT use C++ or Fortran bindings in multi-thread programs
-witihout providing yourself mutex infrastructure support for every wrapped
-function. You can use safely only the C binding in a multi-thread environment.
-That was not different in 1.6 series, just the issue was ignored.
-
-Now, you are warned.

+On thread safety
+----------------
+Some general notes for developers: since 1.8 series HDF Group deprecates
+enabling the thread-safe option for the C library and at the same time
+supporting high level (HL), C++ and Fortran bindings. Those options cannot
+cohexist for safety because non C libraries wrapper are not thread-aware.
+Debian GNU/Linux still support a C thread-safe library and the alternative
+bindings, but it does not imply that the Debian distributed high level, C++
+aand Fortranalibraries are thread-safe.
+
+For short: DO NOT use HL, C++ or Fortran bindings in multi-thread programs
+witihout providing yourself mutex infrastructure support for every wrapped
+function. You can use safely only the C binding in a multi-thread environment.
+That was not different in 1.6 series, just the issue was ignored.
+
+Now, you are warned.

+1.10.0 and 1.10.1 compatibility
+-------------------------------
+From HDF Group newsletter #153:
+HDF5 releases are always backward compatible. In general, they are also
+forward compatible in maintenance releases of a major release. However,
+the HDF5 - 1.10.0 maintenance release will NOT be able to read HDF5 - 1.10.1
+files that contain a metadata cache image. The metadata cache image must be
+removed with the h5clear tool in order for HDF5 - 1.10.0 to read the file.
