Known Problems In This Release
- Workaround for issue with launching HDFView:
A path issue which causes HDFView to fail to launch can be resolved by downloading the script below that pertains to your platform:- hdfview.bat (Windows)
- hdfview.sh (Unix)
The script should be placed in the HDFView installation directory, where the HDFView executable is located.
- MacOS 11.0 and 10.15 are not currently supported due to a notification signing issue. We are working on this issue and will provide the binary distributions for these platforms as they become available.
- If installing HDFView with the installer method, please be aware that the installer does NOT overwrite "hardcoded" associations. If there is a pre-existing user-defined file association, you must manually associate the extension with the HDFView application.
- The Ubuntu HDFView binary distribution fails to install on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, with the error version GLIBC_2.32 not found. Upgrading to 20.10 should provide GLIBC_2.32 along with the 5.8 kernel.
Please see the release notes for more information on known problems.
