GT.M V5.3-002 available
K.S. Bhaskar
for 64-bit architectures by adding Sun SPARC Solaris to the set of
64-bit platforms. It also adds support for the Mapped Memory database
access method and includes functional & performance enhancements
(especially on platforms running GNU/Linux), as well as bug fixes.
Details follow.
Effective V5.3-002:
* GT.M on the following computing platforms runs as 64-bit
processes: Solaris on SPARC; GNU/Linux on x86_64 and Itanium; AIX
on pSeries; HP-UX on Itanium. With this and future releases,
there are no 32-bit GT.M processes on these platforms.
* GT.M on the following computing platforms continues to run as
32-bit processes: x86 GNU/Linux; HP-UX on PA-RISC; Tru64 UNIX and
OpenVMS on Alpha/AXP. There are no plans to move to a 64-bit
architecture on these platforms.
Note that 32- and 64-bits refers to the GT.M processes. 64-bit
operating system kernels run 32-bit processes (e.g., 32-bit GT.M for x86
GNU/Linux runs very well on x86_64 GNU/Linux) and in some cases 32-bit
OS kernels run 64-bit processes as long as the underlying hardware
supports it (e.g, a 32-bit IBM pSeries AIX kernel on 64-bit CPUs can run
the 64-bit GT.M for that platform).
V5.3-002 also adds:
* On Sun SPARC Solaris, the ability to place object modules
generated by the compiler into shared libraries with the standard
system utility ld.**
* A field test grade implementation of the MM (Mapped Memory)
database access method for UNIX/Linux. (The field test designation
refers only to the new MM access method for UNIX/Linux. V5.3-002
is a fully tested and qualified, production grade GT.M release
that is at least as robust as, if not more robust than, any
previous GT.M release.)
* Improved journaling capabilities.
* Source code lines up to 8192 bytes in length.
* Enhanced support for Unicode.
* Improvements to the MUPIP, LKE, and DSE utility programs.
* More compact generated object code code for GNU/Linux on x86_64.
* Formal support for Ubuntu Linux on the x86_64 platform.

P.S. This is a heads up that we are thinking of having a PIP/GT.M user
group meeting in Malvern Thursday/Friday, October 16/17. While I am not
looking for a commitment, would you be able to indicate, please, whether
you would attend? Thank you very much.
