Solaris User Registration
Solaris User Registration is a registration mechanism invoked when the user first
brings up the Solaris 2.6 desktop environment. By registering, customers can take
advantage of Sun’s commitment to providing superior service and support.
Registered users will be regularly informed about new Solaris releases, upgrade
offers, and promotions that they can use to enhance their systems.
Standards
Many customers rely on the Solaris operating environment as the foundation for
mission critical applications. New standards in the Solaris operating environment
show Sun’s continuing involvement in providing a stable operating environment.
Continuous improvements in support for standards are shown in these new features.
Year 2000 Ready
Sun’s Solaris 2.6 operating environment is year 2000 ready. The Solaris 2.6 release
uses unambiguous dates and follows the X/Open guidelines where appropriate. For
further information, including the definition of year–2000 compliance, see the Year
2000 web page at http://www.sun.com/y2000.
X/Open UNIX 95 (Spec 1170)
The previous release of Solaris was compliant with much of Spec 1170. Solaris 2.6
software now meets all the requirements.
Areas changed in the Solaris 2.6 release to meet the Spec 1170 requirements:
System interfaces and headers
System headers were updated to bring them up to compliance with Spec 1170.
X/Open curses
A new library has been added to support the interfaces defined by this
specification. Significant support for internationalized curses capabilities, pads,
terminfo database access, and color manipulation has been added.
