Pre-release to include some important features of the upcoming 1.0 release:

Dataset API is now closer to h5py:

• creation with data: ds.create_dataset('test', data=np.ones(10, 10))
• implemented require_dataset and require_group, which create a dataset / group only if it does not exist and otherwise check the existing object for compatability

Simple multi-threaded I/O:

• Read and write can now be run multi-threaded by setting ds.n_threads = number_of_threads. Default is single-threaded.

Empty chunks:

• Empty chunks (i.e. chunks only containing fill value) will not be written to file and existing chunks will be over-written; i.e. removed.
