Where Should I Begin?

This book is organized in such a way that you need only read Chapter 3: “What is New at a Glance” for a quick overview of what is new, has changed, and has been deprecated or obsoleted in the current and previous HP-UX 11i v3 releases.

Chapter 3 contains a set of summaries for each update (or the initial) release. Each summary in the set contains a very high-level sampling of the changes for a single product or feature.




	NOTE: For the initial (February 2007) release of HP-UX 11i v3, you will find two sets of change-summaries in Chapter 3: one set of change-summaries for customers migrating from HP-UX 11i v1 and one set of change-summaries for customers migrating from HP-UX 11i v2.

For further information about a particular item, follow the cross-reference to the corresponding section in the remainder of the book or, if the item pertains to a previous release, go to an earlier version of this document.

Each product/feature section in the remainder of this document is divided into the following subsections:

Description of the Product/Feature
Summary of Change
Impact
Compatibility
Performance
Documentation
Obsolescence




	NOTE: The HP-UX Release Notes document does not provide exhaustive information about the changes in any one product or feature. It provides only high-level highlights and pointers to product-specific documentation. For more detailed information, you should see the product’s own documentation, especially if you would like to learn more about defect fixes, known problems, and work-arounds.
