Would someone with IDL 8.6 please tell me what version of HDF and of HDF5 it uses? You'll see it if you do "help, /dlm".

Thank you.

Just curious.. you've been asking this question, for each successive version of IDL, for what seems like years now. As far as I can tell, IDL's HDF5 interface hasn't changed in quite some time. Is there a particular feature that you're looking for to be added?

You are correct - I ask this question for pretty much every version of IDL.

No, I am not looking for any particular feature.

We have tools that make use of HDF5 via IDL, and tools that make use of HDF5 directly. We want to keep the version of HDF5 on our system in sync with the version of HDF5 used by IDL.

Also, you should be able to check this page for the current versions of
the file formats supported by IDL:

http://harrisgeospatial.com/docs/File_Formats.html

under the "Scientific Data Formats" BUT, as you can see if you check
that page, it looks they forgot to update this page of the docs from IDL
8.5 (or at least the HDF and HDF 5 versions on it).

At the bottom of each of the version pages in "What's New" you'll find announcements when third part libraries are updated.
