<li>New record in the NDPluginFile base class called DeleteDriverFile. This record
allows the file writing plugins to delete the "original" file that the driver created
for that array. This can be useful for detectors that must write the data to disk
in order for the areaDetector driver to read it back. Once a file-writing plugin
has rewritten the data in another format it can be desireable to then delete the
original file. The file is only deleted if the following are all true:

<li>NDPluginFile: Added support for getting the file name and file number from array
attributes rather than from the normal EPICS PVs. Having the file information come
from the array allows the driver to control which plugin saves a particular array.
For example, there may be two file writing plugins active; the first saves the flat
field files for a tomography experiment, and the second saves the normal projections,
each streaming data to a separate file. The driver knows which files are flat fields
and which are normal projections, and adds the appropriate attributes to control
which plugin saves each array. Thanks to Ulrik Pedersen for this addition.</li>
<li>New file writing plugin, NDFileHDF5. This plugin writes HDF5 files with the native
HDF5 API, unlike the NeXus plugin which uses the NeXus API. It supports 3 types
of compression. Thanks to Ulrik Pedersen at Diamond Light Source for providing this

was done processing. The new version behaves correctly, dropping frames when the
plugin cannot keep up, rather than slowing down the driver.</li>
