Obtaining the Latest HDF5 Software

Latest Official Release of HDF5:  5-1.8.4 Patch 1      [ Install (Source) ] [ Compile Info ]

Due to the number of major new features in 1.8, we are currently supporting two branches of HDF5. The 1.6 branch is for those 1.6 users who do not need the new features in 1.8 or are not ready to move to a major new release. We provide the HDF5 1.6.10 release for those users. New users are strongly encouraged to use HDF5 1.8.

PLEASE NOTE that the HDF5 1.8.4 Patch 1 release fixes a corruption problem in HDF5 1.8. See the Known Problems page for detailed information regarding this problem.

HDF5 1.8.4 Patch 1 Information:


External Libraries Used By HDF5

The following external libraries are OPTIONAL for use with HDF5.

PLEASE be aware that the external software below (especially ZLIB) is provided for convenience reasons ONLY and comes WITHOUT a guarantee. We encourage users to use the ZLIB library that is installed on their systems.
 

External Libraries used by HDF5

SZIP Compression Information Source Code [ 2.1 ] Pre-Compiled Binaries [ 2.0 ] [ 2.1 (Windows, Mac Intel) ]
ZLIB Compression Information Source Code [ 1.2 ] Pre-Compiled Binaries [ 1.2 ]

NOTE:


HDF5 Software

The SZIP and ZLIB libraries are optional in HDF5. HOWEVER, the pre-built binary distributions in the table below are built with the SZIP and ZLIB external libraries, and therefore require them.

If you do not wish to include SZIP and/or ZLIB, you will have to build HDF5 from source.

For SZIP copyright information, see SZIP licensing.

Please see the document on API Compatibility Macros in HDF5 if you are unable to update your applications to use the new APIs in 1.8.
