This is a maintenance release. Valid_min and valid_max are corrected for
some MODIS products. The code quality was improved.
The software is tested with the up-to-dated HDF4,HDF5 1.10, HDF-EOS2 and
netCDF-4 packages at CentOS 6, CentOS 7, macOS 11,macOS 13,macOS 14 and macOS 15.
Documentation is updated in a minimal way.

What's inside the h4cf-1.1
-------------------------------
This section describes the contents of H4CF Conversion Toolkit 1.1.
Description:
h4cf library allows users to access objects in both HDF-EOS2 and HDF4
files by following CF conventions. The CF-compliant variables and
ttributes of the files are accessible through a set of high-level
APIs with C++ STL objects.
Besides the library itself, this software package also provides
a command-line tool. The tool, h4tonccf, can convert HDF4/HDF-EOS2
files to NetCDF3 or NetCDF4 files by using the h4cf library.
Here NetCDF3 files are original netCDF format files that follow the netCDF classic data model.
NetCDF4 files are in HDF5 format but follow the netCDF classic data model. In this release,
we add the experimental/minimal support of MS visual studio support as well Linux and MacOS.
We also provide example codes to demonstrate how to use high-level APIs
to retrieve data values of a variable or its subset and the attributes
of either a variable or a file.
