[netcdfgroup] HDFql version 2.4.0

We are happy to announce the release of HDFql [1] 2.4.0!This version includes:

- Added support for user-defined block of data stored within an HDF5

file in a space reserved for this purpose

- Added "LIKE" option in the "SHOW DIRECTORY" and "SHOW FILE" operations


- Added "BY NAME" option in all relevant HDFql operations (to get the

result of an operation as a name (i.e. string) instead of a number)

- Improved memory footprint to maintain an open HDF5 file (it now takes

~3 KB to maintain an open file - before it was taking ~30 KB)

(Please check the release notes [2] for further details and some

examples [3] that illustrate how HDFql works)
