What is the Purpose of HP-UX Release Notes

The HP-UX 11i v1.6 Release Notes describe what is new, changed, or obsolete in a release as compared to previous releases. These release notes apply only to features that are part of the HP-UX 11i v1.6 operating system.

Additional product specific release notes files are located in the /opt directory, in sub-directories named [name]/newconfig/RelNotes (where name represents the name of the product). For example, Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) release notes are loaded in the /opt/dce/newconfig/RelNotes directory.

The purpose of the HP-UX 11i v1.6 Release Notes is to define the major differences between HP-UX Release 11i Version 1.5 (Release ID B.11.20) and HP-UX 11i v1.6 (Release ID B.11.22). For full information on changes in previous releases, consult the archival release notes located in: /usr/share/doc/ or at the http://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.
