We need to make a new package for the new library name. Until now, there wasn't need for anyone using the newer 1.10.7, but I can try later to see what needs to be done to make that available as a new separate package.

I've pushed a new release of hdf5 called hdf5.200.vNNN (version 1.12.1), 
where NNN is 1.8, 1.10, or 1.12, based on different API versions for the 
library. The current hdf5.100-1.10.0 could not be upgraded to the latest 
1.10.7 because the library breaks API and would require a new package 
for us. So I took the very latest release-1.12.1 instead. Your software 
needing >= 1.10.1 should work with this new 1.12.1 release; you might 
need to pick the correct NNN version and then point CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS 
to the correct directories.
