attrs() silently omitted any attribute whose datatype had no AttrValue variant
— including every Python bool, which h5py stores as an enum — plus complex,
compound and reference attributes, and cast unsigned 64-bit arrays to
I64Array so values above i64::MAX came back negative.
- numpy/h5py-style booleans (an enum of exactly FALSE=0 / TRUE=1 over an
integer base) decode as I64 / I64Array of 0/1.
- AttrValue::U64Array keeps unsigned arrays unsigned. Behaviour change: an
unsigned array attribute no longer arrives as I64Array; the netCDF-4 CF
helpers (_FillValue, valid_range) and the Python bindings handle it.
- AttrValue::Raw { datatype, shape, data } carries any other attribute
verbatim (also used when a value fails to decode as its declared type), so
the attribute list is always complete. Decodable with data_read against the
datatype; Python receives {"dtype", "shape", "data"}.
- Both new variants are writable, so attributes round-trip between files.
h5py interop tests cover reading 13 attribute kinds and h5py reading back a
compound and a u64 attribute written by clawhdf5.

- clippy --all-targets plus a clawhdf5-format feature matrix (parallel, lz4,
zstd, pcodec, fast-checksum); fix the accumulated lint backlog in test,
bench and feature-gated code (no behaviour changes).
- Install python3 + h5py/numpy/netCDF4/xarray in the CI container and set
CLAWHDF5_REQUIRE_INTEROP=1, which makes a missing interop dependency a test
failure. Every h5py/netCDF4 interop test used to skip silently in CI. Run
the #[ignore]d writer_h5py_tests suite explicitly.
- cargo bench --no-run so benches can't rot; fix bench.rs and memory_bench.rs,
which no longer compiled against the current strategy/consolidation APIs.
- Optional fuzz smoke run via CLAWHDF5_FUZZ_SECONDS.
- CHANGELOG and docs/known-issues.md updated.

Class 11 (datatype version 5) properties are a single base floating-point
datatype message, not a compound-style member list. The old parser read the
base type's bytes as member names, yielding a garbage datatype, and failed
with UnexpectedEof when a complex type was nested in a compound.
Parse the base type and surface the type as the equivalent {r, i} compound
(the shape h5py writes for numpy complex dtypes), with a size check against
the base type. Covered by byte-level tests taken from HDF5 2.0 output and an
h5py end-to-end test (writer_h5py_tests is now 27/27 against HDF5 2.0.0).
Found while validating a user report of InvalidDatatypeVersion
{ class: 6, version: 5 } against v2.1.0 (already fixed on main in a13ff51,
never released). Add docs/known-issues.md recording that report, this bug,
the open reference-v4 gap and a gpu_tests parallel-run hang; credit the
reporter in the changelog.
