In this session of Call the Doctor, The HDF Group's Dana Robinson discusses various topics related to the HDF5 library. He mentions an upcoming session at Supercomputing 23, provides information about the release schedule for version 1.14.3, and talks about a Fortran floating point issue. Dana explains the fix for the issue, which involves handling floating-point exceptions during initialization. He also outlines plans for version 1.14.4, including improvements such as Unicode file support on Windows, new data types, better testing for the read-only S3 VFD, addressing CVE issues, and other enhancements.

Call the Doctor is a series of weekly, unscripted, live events! The HDF Group’s staff members will answer attendee questions and, for example, go over the previous week’s HDF Forum posts. The HDF Clinics are free sessions intended to help users tackle real-world HDF problems from a common cold to severe headaches and offer relief where that’s possible. As time permits, we will include how-tos, offer advice on tool usage, review your code samples, teach you survival in the documentation jungle, and discuss what’s new or just around the corner in the land of HDF.
