Common HEP UNIX user environment - Versions


Because of the success of this project we had to split the package into several pieces which may have different version numbers.

Before June 1996 all the HEPiX version was homogeneous and were distributed as follow:

The new version in production is 3.0.6 which is a bug fix version for 3.0.5.

The previous versions were:

3.0.5. This version is fixing bugs in the X11 area and providing more features for fvwm and the Xsession (there is now a window which displays messages during the session).

3.0.4. This version adds tiny things: It fixes 2 "esthetic" bugs.

3.0.3. This version adds tiny things: It fixes 2 bugs and add one feature.

3.0.2. This version adds some new features and fix small bugs.

3.0.1 was just a big fix version.

3.0.4, 3.0.3, 3.0.2 and 3.0.1 are fix version based on the 3.0 major release.

The latter replaces the previous 2.5.1 version which will not be supported anymore before the end of January.

This 3.0 new version is a major new release as it contains the shell login scripts and the new X11 login scripts. A full reorganisation had been undertaken on the architectural point of view. The shell part of the package consists only in bug fixes, improvements of some features and optimisation. The X11 part is new and provides the first implementation of an HEP X11 environment.

This new version is already deployed now on various services at CERN and at INFN Pisa.
