+#### H5PART 1.6.3 ############################################################
+
+New build system uses libtool and can build shared libraries.
+
+Fixed a bug that incorrectly identifies the number of selected points in a view
+when using H5PartSetViewIndices.
+
+Fixed bug in Fortran test reported by several people, as well as several
+incorrect views set in the C test that were causing segfaults.
+
+Fixed name mismatches in the Fortran interface, and an off-by-one indexing
+problem.
+
+#### H5PART 1.6.2 ############################################################
+
+Removed H5PartSetViewEmpty
+--------------------------
+
+An empty view can now be selected with:
+H5PartSetNumParticles(file, 0);
+
+Bug Fixes to Attribute Calls in Fortran API
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Fixed a problem where attribute values were reverting to zero.
+
+#### H5PART 1.6.1 ############################################################
+
+Chunking in the H5Part API
+--------------------------
+
+There is now an H5Part equivalent H5PartSetChunkSize to the existing
+H5BlockDefine3DChunkDims call. Both of these calls enable the chunking
+mechanism in the underlying HDF5 layer. Chunking is used in combination
+with the aligned open calls to pad datasets to alignment multiples
+on disk.
+
+All Steps Available on Write
+----------------------------
+
+Previously, existing steps in a file were only accessible in read-only mode.
+Now, all steps are available in all modes, including write-truncate and
+write-append. Thus, it is now possible to overwrite existing data in write
+mode. To help alert the user to this possibility, a warning is issued every
+time an existing dataset is written to. Warnings can be printed by setting
+the verbosity to H5PART_VERB_WARN or higher.
+
+New Throttling Routine
+----------------------
+
+Previously, a throttle factor of N meant that for P processors, the total
+number of P writes were divided into N batches of P/N writes.
+
+To better accommodate round-robin lustre striping, the new policy is to
+execute P/N batches of N writes. Thus, matching N to the number of stripes
+results in the desirable 1-1 matching of writers to stripes.
+
+Other Fixes
+-----------
+
+* The configure script should correctly detect PGI compilers now.
+* There was a small memory leak in the Fortran file open calls.
+* There was a compile error with HDF5 1.6.x due to a missing assignment.
