5. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
5.1 _U_p_g_r_a_d_e__t_o__F_L_E_X_l_m__v_5_._1_1
This release of license_dev contains version v5.11 of the
FLEXlm libraries from Globetrotter Software. If you are
upgrading from license_dev 2.X, which contained version v4.1
of FLEXlm, you will need new vendor keys to use the
development libraries contained in this release. For more
information on version v5.11 and v5.0a of FLEXlm, please
refer to the release notes for license_eoe 3.3.
5.2 _N_e_w__6_4__B_i_t__L_i_b_r_a_r_y
A new 64 bit version of the SGI FLEXlm library
/_u_s_r/_l_i_b_6_4/_l_i_b_l_m_s_g_i._a is included in this release. It now
contains object files using the MIPS III instruction set
instead of MIPS IV.
5.3 _M_u_l_t_i_p_l_e__S_y_s_t_e_m__I_D
Applications licensed with the libraries in this release of
license_dev now fully support both the old system ID
interface, available on systems running IRIX 6.2 and
earlier, as well as the new multi-system ID interface,
available on systems running IRIX 6.3 and later.
5.4 _l_i_b_l_m_s_g_i_._a__A_r_c_h_i_v_e
In previous releases of the SGI version of the FLEXlm
library, the SGI version of the libraries, liblmsgi.a, were
not true archives, but object files. The libraries contained
in this release are now actual _a_r(_1) archives, and fully
support the FLEXlm programmer interfaces.

5.5 _L_M___L_I_C_E_N_S_E___F_I_L_E__O_p_t_i_m_i_z_a_t_i_o_n
The effect for setting the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment
variable has been changed in this release. In previous
releases of the licensing libraries, liblmsgi.a, the value
of this variable is prepended to the list of license files
derived from the license file database. In this release, if
LM_LICENSE_FILE is set, the license file database will not
be searched, and it's value will be the only value used when
searching for a license. This change was made to enhance the
performance of license checkout times.
