From version 2.8 to 2.9

• GiD_fWriteCoordinates*Block() Added coordinates block function to write array of coorinates with a single call.
• GiD_fWriteElements*Block() Added elements block function to write array of element's connectivities with a single call.
• GiD_fWriteResultBlock() Added result block function to write array of result values with a single call.
• GiD_PostGetVersion() added to return library version, and if hdf5 is enabled, hdf5 library version too.
• GiD_PostIsThreadSafe( format) : function which returns if format is thread-safe, i.e. several files with this format can be opened and written at the same time. For instance, some HDF5 compilations are not thread-safe, and can not be used to write several hdf5 files at the same time from the same program.
• gidpost-swig/ : to use gidpost library as python module.
• several corrected bugs in library.

From version 2.7 to 2.8

• CMake updated and corrected to compile fortran90 example.
• Added functions to allow the user to add mesh and result properties / attributes:

   User defined properties defined inside Mesh or Result blocks

     HDF5: stored as properties/attributes (Name, value) of the current Mesh/N or Result/N folder

     ASCII / raw binary: stored as comments

       # Name: value

     Define the macro COMPASSIS_USER_ATTRIBUTES_FORMAT

     to have it like compassis wants:

       # ResultUserDefined \"%s\" \"%s\"      or

       # ResultUserDefined \"%s\" %s

  int GiD_WriteMeshUserAttribute(GP_CONST char * Name,GP_CONST char * Value);

  int GiD_fWriteMeshUserAttribute( GiD_FILE fd, GP_CONST char *Name, GP_CONST char *Value );

  int GiD_WriteResultUserAttribute( GP_CONST char *Name, GP_CONST char *Value );

  int GiD_fWriteResultUserAttribute( GiD_FILE fd, GP_CONST char *Name, GP_CONST char *Value );

From version 2.6 to 2.7

• Added support for MeshGroups ( BeginMeshGroup(), End..., BeginOnMeshGroup(), End...) in HDF5 as used in GiD, useful for dynamic meshes, refinement, multi-stage simulation, etc.
• All non implemented functions for HDF5 now return -1, i.e. all GiD_fXXX() functions.
