What Is the Purpose of HP-UX Release Notes?
HP-UX Release Notes describe what is new, changed, or obsolete within an HP-UX
release as compared with previous releases. HP-UX Release Notes apply only to features
that are included as part of the HP-UX operating system or one of the five Operating
Environments. Operating Environments are discussed later in this Chapter under
“What is HP-UX 11i” on page 21.
Additional product-specific release notes files are located in the /opt directory, in
sub-directories named /opt/ product_name /newconfig/RelNotes (where
product_name represents the name of the product for which those release notes apply).
For example, Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) release notes are located in
the /opt/dce/newconfig/RelNotes directory.
The purpose of these release notes is to explain the major differences between HP-UX
11.0 and the most recent release of 11i (in this case, September 2001). For information
on changes to HP-UX that occurred at 11.0, consult the archival release notes located in
/usr/share/doc/11.00RelNotes or at the http://docs.hp.com web site. For
information on changes to HP-UX that occurred at HP-UX 10.30 or before, also see the
docs.hp.com web site.
Release Notes do not completely document all of the features of a release. Instead, they
contain high-level information and provide pointers to more detailed operating system
and product-specific documentation. Where appropriate, Release Notes also tell you
about changes in the support of products.
