• SD Changes Behavior with Unknown Attributes
This change allows packagers to use new attributes in their software packages
without requiring SD to know the attribute. Specifically, the swpackage program will
no longer print error messages when an unrecognized attribute is encountered.
However, you must be careful when naming attributes because typographical errors
will no longer be reported.
