Release 7.0.0 new features

Core operating system


Multi-path I/O
Multi-path I/O is supported. See ``Managing multipath I/O environments''.

Java support
Java(TM) applets are fully supported on UnixWare.

The Java Development Kit is provided with UnixWare. See Java Development Kit Release Notes for information.


Memory management

See ``Managing Large Physical Memory'' and ``Configuring your system for Large Physical Memory''.


Large file support
File systems up to 2^40 bytes (1TB) are supported. A single file can thus consume up to 1TB of disk store. A sparse file can exhibit length up to 2^63 bytes. New system interfaces, lseek64 and mmap64, permit operations of this entire length. Compiler extensions allow for a C application to conveniently manipulate files of such size via 64 bit integers (called ``long long'').

A limited set of system utilities have been made large file aware, and are noted as such on their respective manual pages.


NOTE: Large file support is intended for specialized applications which need to deal with more than 2GB of data in a single file, and not for general purpose text files and similar.

See ``Large File Support'' and ``Managing large files''.
