HP-UX 11i Version 1.6 Release Notes

Other Functionality
Netscape Communicator
Chapter 8
142
Impact
Comparable size requirements to the last release.
Netscape 4.79 on HP-UX 11i v1.6 uses its own built-in Java, not the JPI.
The Japanese Language Pack for Netscape 4.79 is only available on HP-UX PA-RISC
systems at this time. We have no plans to port this product to IPF, but may do so if there
is a user requirement.
Netscape 4.79 has been observed crashing when attempting to access the “combo
pulldown” button widget on HP-UX 11.00, 11i, and 11i v1.5. This is used in several
locations, including the Location/Go To: in the Location Toolbar, Message Search dialog,
and numerous times in the HTML Composer toolbox. We expect this situation to occur
on HP-UX 11i v1.6 as well.
Compatibility
There are no known compatibility issues between Netscape 4.79 and earlier versions.
The HP-UX 11i v1.5 release used Netscape 4.77. The changes from 4.77 to 4.78 and from
4.78 to 4.79 are described herein. The changes do not cause any compatibility issues that
we are aware of.
Performance
The performance of this product on IPF platforms is lower than on PA-RISC
architectures.
Obsolescence
This is the last version of Netscape Communicator 4.x to be offered in HP-UX. In the
future, Netscape 6/7 will be provided and fully supported in it's place.
