This allows UnixWare to run on multiprocessor (MP) systems that do not have Intel Multi-Processor Specification (MPS) BIOS tables. Uniprocessor Hyperthreading Support =================================== Hyperthreading (Jackson Technology) support for UnixWare on Intel processors has been enhanced to work on uniprocessor (UP) systems. Licensing: Memory and CPU Limits ================================ Installing Update Pack 4 increases the limits for memory, number of processors and number of users depending on the edition as shown in the table below: Edition Before After Base Memory: 1GB Memory: 2GB User: 1 User: 1 Processors: 1 Processors: 1 Business Memory: 4GB Memory: 4GB User: 5 User: 10 Processors: 1 Processors: 4 Department Memory: 4GB Memory: 8GB User: 25 User: 25 Processors: 2 Processors: 4 Enterprise Memory: 16GB Memory: 16GB User: 50 User: 50 Processors: 4 Processors: 6 IPsec (VPN Support) =================== The IPsec (secure IP) protocol suite and associated tools provides the ability to encrypt and authenticate IP packets transmitted between cooperating hosts or subnets. USB Printing Enhancements ========================= Suport for multiple USB printers. The gimpprint package contains a suite of high-quality printer drivers for use with the cups and foomatic packages. The foomatic package contains a generic printer filter and PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) files for printers that understand printer languages other than PostScript (such as PCL). This enables printing of PostScript files to these printers, by translating the PostScript file to the language understood by the printer. The filter and PPD files are integrated with the cups package (see CUPS), and cannot be used with the System V LP print system. Note that the CUPS package also provides its own PPD files. Mozilla 1.2.1a ============== The Mozilla web browser has been updated to version 1.2.1a to fix the following known security vulnerabilities in previous versions. Later versions of Mozilla are planned to be released for UnixWare as well.
