Tru64 Versions

I need to find out the significance of the the naming of releases for Tru64 ie V5.1B vs V5.1.
Is this classed a major or minor upgrade.

Re: Tru64 Versions

Although there are indeed many new features and improvements in V5.1B over V5.1, this is classed as a minor upgrade. This is why only the letter was added to the version number.

We have a binary compatibility statement for the upgrade from V5.1 to V5.1A and V5.1A to V5.1B. No need to requalify your application.

Peter,

The Tru64 UNIX 5.1B Release Notes are available online at:

http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/ARH8WETE/TITLE.HTM

This manual provides information on new and changed features in 5.1B and lists features and interfaces scheduled for retirement in future releases.

Regards,
Ross

Han's answer satisfied my query - we had to establish whether the upgrade was classed a minor/major for the purpose of satisfying customer contractual obligations.
