Obtaining the Latest HDF5 Software

Latest Official Release of HDF5:  5-1.8.3      [ Newsletter 107 ] [ Release Notes ] [ Install (Source) ] [ Compile Info ]
For information on earlier releases:       [ Previous Releases ] [ RELEASE.txt Files ]


The latest formal release of HDF5, version 1.8.3, can be obtained from this page.

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 1.6.9 release for those users.

New users are strongly encouraged to use HDF5 1.8.


External Software

The following libraries are used by HDF5, but are *not* part of 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) ]

NOTE:


HDF5 Software

PLEASE note that there are two sets of 1.8.3 binaries included with many of the platforms listed below. One is built with shared libraries, and the other is built with static libraries.

The HDF Group generally encourages users to update applications to work with the latest HDF5 library and APIs, but also recognizes that in some circumstances, updating applications may not be feasible or necessary.

For information on these mappings, please see the document on the API Compatibility Macros in HDF5.
