HDF5 error only on Windows

[urlicht]

The following error (see the stacktrace) occurs for some .mat files, only on Windows (Windows 10, Julia 1.1, latest stable MAT.jl). In Linux (16.04), the package is able to read the file. The HDF5 package itself is functional without any issues.

julia> data=MAT.matread(path);

This seems to be an issue with HDF5 package on Windows. HDF5 on Windows uses 1.8.13. I installed 1.8.21 instead, and now MAT.jl can load the files.

Should be fixed?
