The latest formal release of HDF5 1.6, version 1.6.7, can be obtained from this page. This release contains bug fixes and changes since the 1.6.6 release.
Please note that we also provide the HDF5 1.8.0 release.
Due to the number of major new features in 1.8.0, we are supporting two branches of HDF5. The 1.6 branch is for those 1.6 users who do not need the new features in 1.8.0 or are not ready to move to a major new release.
Please refer to the What's New in 1.8.0 document to decide whether or not to move to the HDF5 1.8.0 release. New users are strongly encouraged to use HDF5 1.8.0.

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
