Sun Update Connection Client 1.0.8 now available
The Sun Update Connection System client, version 1.0.8 is now available as
software update 121118-08 (SPARC) or 121119-08 (x86). Version 1.0.8
is the biggest update we have produced since the initial release of the Sun Update
Connection and includes the following enhancements:
o Sun Update Manager has a brand new user interface which includes a new
look and icons, numerous usability improvements such as better progress
reporting and the ability to print/save installed and available patch lists and
patch README files.
o Support for Solaris Live Upgrade so patches can be added to an inactive
alternate boot environment.
o The Solaris 10 SMF configuration framework is now used to trigger the
installation of patches with special handling requirements (single user mode
or restart-after required) which will improve compatibility and reliability.
o The version 1.0.8 client uses a new Sun-hosted patch server that outsources
content delivery to Akamai. This enables us to provide superior download
performance to our customers worldwide.
For a complete list of the defects corrected in this release please
refer to the patch README file for this patch. Note also that this
update includes fixes that were delivered in prior releases of the
Sun Update Connection client software patch. By installing this update
you may be getting fixes that were previously available but not present
on your system.
Sun Update Connection Hosted application has been refreshed to include
numerous user interface adjustments and fixes that have been suggested by a
customer focus group usability study. Although there are no new features,
the usability of the product is substantially improved.
Thank You,
Sun Update Connection Team
