What’s the Purpose of HP-UX Release Notes?

The HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes document describes what is new, changed, or obsolete in this release (Release ID B.11.23) as compared to the HP-UX 11i v1.6 (B.11.22) release. These release notes apply only to features that are part of the HP-UX 11i v2 Operating Environments.

As with other HP-UX system release notes, the HP-UX 11i Version 2 Release Notes does not completely document all the features of this release. Instead, it contains high-level information and pointers to more detailed operating system and product-specific documentation. Where appropriate, it also notes changes in the support of products.

Additional product-specific release notes are often 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.
