What is the Purpose of HP-UX Release Notes

HP-UX Release Notes describe what is new, changed, or obsolete in a release compared to previous releases. HP-UX Release Notes apply only to features that are part of the HP-UX 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 Version 1.5 Release Notes is to explain the major differences between HP-UX Release 11i and HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20). For full information on changes in previous releases, consult the archival release notes located in: /usr/share/doc/x.xRelNotes or at the 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.
