Hi, I just updated Julia to version 0.7.0. I use the HDF5 package for the code that I am working on. It added and updated the package just fine, but as soon as I go to run my code after stating ‘using HDF5’, the following error occurs:

HDF5-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5 (1.8.13) thread 0:

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the package and manually building it ([GitHub - JuliaIO/HDF5.jl: Save and load data in the HDF5 file format from Julia](https://github.com/JuliaIO/HDF5.jl)). Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I am running it on a Windows PC.

This is not the proper channel to discuss this, because this the Package Announcement tag is precisely for announcing packages. Try the Data tag.
