This version is a major one and is breaking some usage compare to v2. Read the migration guide from the documentation: https://bluebrain.github.io/HighFive/md__2home_2runner_2work_2_high_five_2_high_five_2doc_2migration__guide.html
The minimum version for C++ has been moved to C++14.
- Removed `read(T*, ...)`, use explicit `read_raw(T*, ...)` for `Slice` or `Attribute`. (#928)
- Removed `FixedLenStringArray`, use any container with strings instead. (#932)
- Removed `FileDriver` and `MPIOFileDriver`, use file access properties instead. (#949)
- Removed default constructor for `Group` and `DataSet`. (#947, #948)
- Broadcasting have been removed. Use `squeeze` and `reshape` feature instead. (#992)
- `ObjectCreateProps` and `ObjectAccessProps` those don't map well to HighFive and are unused. (#1002)
- Added support for `std::span`. (#987)
- Added `squeezeMemSpace` and `reshapeMemSpace` for `Attribute` and `Slice` to reshape the memory space. (#991)
- Added `ProductSet` to select a Cartesian products of (generalized) slices. (#842)
- Optimized chained hyperslab selection. (#1031)
- Type `T[N]` or `T[N][M]` will work better. (#929)
- `DataspaceType` is now an enum class for `dataspace_scalar` or `dataspace_null`. (#900)
- `File::AccessMode` is now an enum class. (#1020)
- Add named ctors for scalar and null dataspaces. (#899)
- Named ctor for empty property lists. (#904)
- Enable running tests in parallel. (#849)
- Wrap all used HDF5 function calls and always check status codes. (#863)
- Utilities for writing tests in a container independent manner. (#871)
- Improve test rigour.
- Log messages were slightly misformatted. (#854)
- Fix bug in `enforce_ascii_hack`. (#856)

- Guard functionality introduced in 1.10.0. (#905)
- `inspector` guard for empty containers. (#913)

- `Eigen::Matrix` is (by default) stored with column-major index ordering. Under
certain conditions `Eigen::Matrix` was written and read as row-major.
Due to code duplication H5Easy isn't affected by this bug. Starting
`2.8.0` HighFive will now throw an exception whenever prior versions would
have read with incorrect assumptions about the index ordering. (#731)
